Here’s Alex Battaglia with a detailed breakdown of every Cyberpunk 2077 graphics setting, along with recommendations for improved performance while retaining the game’s ‘next-gen’ feel. Full list of settings is below.
Standard Optimised Settings
Contact Shadows: On
Improved Facial Lighting Geometry: On
Local Shadow Mesh Quality: High
Local Shadow Quality High
Cascaded Shadows Range: High
Cascaded Shadows Resolution: Medium
Distant Shadows Resolution: High
Volumetric Fog Resolution: 1080p Ultra, 1440p High, 4K Medium
Volumetric Cloud Quality: Medium
Max Dynamic Decals: Ultra
Screen Space Reflections Quality: Low but High if you find the amount of grain distracting.
Subsurface Scattering Quality: High
Ambient Occlusion: Low (there is barely a difference)
Colour Precision: Medium
Mirror Quality: 1080p High. 1440p High, 4K Medium
Level of Detail: High
Recommended Ray Tracing Settings
Ray Traced Reflections: On
Ray Traced Shadows: Off
Ray Traced Lighting: Medium
If that is not enough for you, Turn off reflections – the RT lighting is more important, on balance.
Image Quality Recommendations: 1080p DLSS Quality, 1440p, DLSS Balanced, 4K, DLSS Performance
Source
Motion Blur: OFF
A 3090, just lol 1500 at least. Needs 1.05 . reflections and occlusion on shadows no really the same problem with gears of snore 5 and read dead 4k render twice no redemption 2.
3k+$ pc and playing on 45fps lol this game is heavyyyy
I'm playing on a 10700 i7 with a 2070 super on a 4k TV. I have ray tracing off completely(it's not worth it imo) and framerate set to 60. But the framerate is still choppy. Anyone have any advice? Framerate is my focus mostly. I want it running at a consistent 60 but maybe it's just not possible on my specs, IDK.
i get between 45-60 fps @1080p rt ultra preset dlss quality on i5-8600k@ 5ghz 16gb 3200mhz ram and rtx 2070
Your are wrong!!! Decal settings could not be test when you just watching them on a wall, it will count on shooting..it definitely decreases fps, if it is on when you shoot
I still don't understand CDPR's logic in this. Making a game that requires a future hardware PC to run on highest settings,
but then they insist on releasing it on a 7 year old CONSOLE …which is clearly years behind in performance.
Crikey. This made a tangible difference, not just to the frame-rate but to my knowledge and confidence about dealing with graphical options. I'm new to pc gaming and my PC is…well, I don't know, it seemed good when I got it a few months ago, but now not so much. So while I thought it'd be able to handle Cyberpunk fairly comfortably, at least with RT set low, it turns out it's not quite as simple as that.
Run it on a 3000 dollar pc.
Since I want to use ray tracing, would disabling SSR improve performance? Reflections will be ray traced anyways so why have it on. Same goes for ambient occlusion and shadows
Alex ..? no thx… Fire him .. stupid chill ( Fake Raytracing in Spiderman .M M) no one listen to your crap ALEX… FAKE KNOWLEDGE Chill!
Cool!!
With these settings, I can finally watch this game on YouTube 😀
Can i run the game on high settings on my laptop? It's an MSI GE75 Raider 8SF with Nvidia Geforce RTX 2070 8GB, Intel Core I7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz and a single 16GB Ram on a 1080p resolution 144Hz?
Thanks for the settings
Same optimizations as every other game. Graphics settings are graphics settings.
I'm running this settings on a 1080ti r53600. Should I run vsync on or off? Feels like on is better, but I don't really know!
I play on an ASUS Zephyrus laptop with a GTX1080 Max-Q which is mediocre by 2020 standards and I can still play this at 1080p ultra with frame rates never dipping below 30. I play with an Xbox controller too so I don’t feel like the frame rate is a problem.
Thanks you digital foundry!
This video is completely specific to just peoppe have a 3080 or higher… cause there are some settings in here that TANK my fps but on your pc it didnt even budge 4 fps
There is already a Hex edit fix for Ryzen owners
If you're chugging, lower crowd density in gameplay settings
1440P ULTRAWIDE GANG 21:9 CHECK IN WITH A LIKE
Thanks, Alex, Running a treat on Geforce Now 1080p/60.
Step 1: Get a high end cpu.
Step 2: Get a Nvidia 3090
Step 3: ???
I don't get it.
The "Standard Optimised Settings" in the description, is with RTX on ?
You're recommending higher maps for shadows and forgetting how much GPU memory they take. This video lacks a proper research method.
Man great work! Doing these settings along with the CPU and GPU memory and code fix is a game changer… Playing at 1440p now runs smooth af looks amazing
Lowering color precision turns your character into a blurry mess when you zoom out in character creation. As if a subsurface scattering effect was turned way up on the skin.
The texture change though; I can barely tell them apart. (Yes I know theres differences, but still. )
The game graphics is broke when SSR and RT are both on. SSR should be off if RT is on.
WHAT ABOUT TEXTURE QUALITY AND ANISOTROPY????? PLEASE
Are you suppose to leave "Screen Space Reflections Quality" off or on High when turning on RT? I thought you're suppose to turn it off whenever you have RT on?
Maybe it's not for me – but whenever i look at RT before and afters… i mostly think…. who cares? Its really not a significant enough difference to justify the loss of other more beneficial things like resolution and frames. RT still feels very much like a gimmick and a nicely lit shot using traditional methods can still look nearly as good in most examples i have seen so far.
I can't help but disagree regarding the non-rt SSR. At the lower settings, the visual difference is huge for any surface that is more than slightly slanted(from your pov). It produces artifacting that appears very similar to full ray-traced images that have their de-noise layer removed: static dots appear in the reflection. Most surfaces have some level of SSR or another, and on low quality SSR settings this means that a decent chunk of your image will have an odd grainy feel to it, regardless of your film grain settings.
Kind of wish used a 2000 series card instead of 3000 series no one has haha but thanks for settings in description.
