CG writes: As expected and not too much of a change from the 1.31 version (perhaps slightly worse performance), based on our own playing Cyberpunk 2077 with all the bells-and-whistles running in 4K Ultra settings will destroy most GPUs. Our RTX 3090 struggles to maintain reasonable framerate running the game using these settings without resorting to Nvidia’s DLSS. See our results below (with the video timestamps). Please bear in mind, add a few FPS to account for Shadowplay recording (between 5-10%). The FPS figure is the average according to the in-game benchmark tool which became available with the 1.5 Update.
The sequel to CD Projekt's action role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077, will feature a Chicago inspired city that took a turn for the worse.
I cannot freaking wait. Say what you want about the release, but this has become one of the most immersive and incredible games that I’ve played. I absolutely love the cyberpunk genre so it gets a bit of a boost for that atmosphere and aesthetic.
Can’t wait to see this!
"A Chicago Inspired City That Took A Turn For The Worse"
So, just regular Chicago then.
Cyberpunk 2077 Nintendo Switch 2 gameplay footage running in 4K has been released online, showing off the handheld device’s impressive power. The video, which runs for nearly 20 minutes, claims to show the game running in Quality/Max Graphics mode, presumably trading off higher framerates for increased fidelity.
Damn! CDPR really is proud of their work! They don't want to hide it anymore, like what they did on the PS4/XBO version.
But I do remember the initial comments from folks here, about 2077 able to run at Xbox One quality at best.
With DLSS and newer architecture it’s a small miracle of modern tech it can even run well on 9W. The fact that the PS5 build only runs sub 4K at around 1400P, and we’re critiquing a tiny handheld for hitting 1080P/30 high settings and upscaling to 4K is nitpicking at its finest.
A summary of DF’s remarks on PS4 performance by comparison: “PS4 Dynamic 720 - 900P but spends most of the time at 720p. Hardly ever holds 30fps, dips to the mid teens sometimes, and 20s while driving”.
Switch 2 is very well optimised it runs significantly better with a clearer and more high fidelity image.
Huge improvement.
Sorry to be clear not better than ps5 better than I expected* and comparing it to steamdeck which was what I expected to see comparison to
The fact this is is on a proper cart WITH THE DLC as well and looks to he a competent port made this a day 1 buy
Ok. If Cyberpunk 2077 can run and look like this, Nintendo has no excuses to make games that look like PS3 games. I hope bullshit like "it's Nintendo", "Hardware limitations", are over. Nintendo needs to deliver games that look better than PS4 games.
Sadly Nintendo will still support the older Switch from quiet sometime ... treating it as more of a Pro model majorly. (If the rumors are to go by)
Very few Switch 2 1st party exclusives for the initial foreseeable future.
3rd party tho, will take the advantage.
I'm confused on "needs to deliver games that look better than PS4 games." The kids and I have had plenty of fun with the Switch without the need to try and keep up with the likes of Sony and Microsoft.
Exactly I had more fun with Nintendo's first party offerings in the last few years than most visually impressive games with low effort gameplay.

RTX 4000 series should have greatly improved RT performance, hoping for a ton of raster performance too. If these cards are decent should see a nice 40+% uptick in fps.
The gen after consoles come out is always the best, I think 3060Ti is rough equivalent of the new consoles, 4080 should be blazing fast later this yr.
They added extra RT effects in this patch as well didn't they?
On a 3080 I get an average of 64 fps (RT at Ultra and DLSS set to quality) @ 1440p in that benchmark, I have always maintained the 3080 is a 2k/1440p card (with ultra/high settings). Seems odd you only got 61 on a 3090, seems like something is wrong along the line.
I would like to see 1080p with RTX and settings at ultra with this 3090. This is how I would play and maybe DLSS for more FPS. It would be a much better experience with much higher FPS and a bit lower res. It would feel much smoother.
DLSS exists for a reason
