NVIDIA has shared an article confirming that DLSS is being added to six new titles this December: Cyberpunk 2077, Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, CRSED: F.O.A.D., Scavengers, and Moonlight Blade. Strangely, DLSS benchmarks are missing for Cyberpunk 2077, but we managed to find links to them on the server with a bit of guesswork from VideoCardz.



It turns out that not even the combined might of a GeForce RTX 3090 and NVIDIA DLSS Performance Mode can deliver a Cyberpunk 2077 experience at 60 FPS when the game is maxed out in its 4K Ultra preset with ray tracing enabled. Benchmarks confirm...

I'm glad I bought a 1440p UW display, around 12% less pixels than UHD.
Goldilocks moment, just right

Oh yes, its Gsync compatible but isnt an NVidia recommended display.
Its been perfect here for everything, desktop, video and gaming (although I watch most video on the TV).

I've only heard of two of those 6 games. CP2077 is a big get though.

57.8 is just unplayable, I need 58.3 or I will fall on the floor and start throwing up mid game.

You may be lucky GamersNexus op Twitter: "Saying this because there is an article out there that is showing performance numbers, but CDPR directly told us that the early DRM is bad for performance and is *not present* in the consumer copy, therefore testing pre-launch is invalid and not representative of the game." / Twitter

Well yeah, but don't expect frame rates to double because of DRM.

I could see a 5% bump though. But I imagine the level of drm on the review copies is rather nuts.

I read somewhere that it runs inside a virtual machine, which can cause massive slowdowns.

That seems overly complicated. But hey, it's 2020 - anything is possible.

Also, I find DRM in a CDPR release somewhat... incongruous.

It was only in the press releases to prevent leaks.

And those are average frames too.

Minimum / 1% frames must be even worse.

Going to have to do what I always do when games get too demanding for 4k ultra...

Create a custom letterboxed 21:9 3840x1646 mode in order to keep it over 60...

Game is running pretty well at 4K on the Ultra preset with my sig PC using Auto DLSS and the image still looks great. Only thing annoying me right now are the interface. For some reason the keybinds for accessing the character menu are not listed in the options and the UI itself still proves that CDPR cannot design a good one for the life of them.

 

[Grimlakin]

Yea the game runs well for me too.

 

[Grimlakin]

I would be surprised if a 3080 couldn't drive this at 4k 60fps with Ray tracing and reflections turned on.
