Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most anticipated games of all time, has finally been released. Eight years in the making, and the game is yet available for the users to play. But before you buy the game, it might be worth seeing the game’s performance benchmark, which was recently posted by NVIDIA itself.
The results are recorded while running various variants of GeForce RTX 30 and GeForce RTX 20 GPUs. But before all that, it is still a disappointing factor that no card will provide a stable 60 FPS at 4K or 1440p resolutions with all the settings cranked to the max. However, the new performance results indicate that NVIDIA’s DLSS helps deliver substantial performance increment when running the game at higher resolutions.
Nvidia claims that all the previous results of the game’s performance of its GeForce RTX cards were all done on machines using unpatched builds and un-supported drivers. Thus the performance rakings left much to be desired. The same is the case with AMD, and the red team has recently released the game ready driver for its Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards. Though testing is yet to be performed using the new drivers, the performance will undoubtedly be better than the previously recorded results. And not to mention that the developers at CD PROJECT RED will be deploying a 50 GB Day 0 patch for the game, which will fix many performance issues that have been found on the game.
Coming to the test results, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3090 barely breaches the 60 FPS mark, and the RTX 3080 manages to stay around 50 FPS; and this result is calculated while running the game at 4K. So, it is still better as compared with previous scores. The green team’s RTX 2080 Ti, on the other hand, delivers around 40 FPS at 4K resolution. But, while using the DLSS at quality mode, the frames tend to drop a bit.
But we know that NVIDIA and CD PROJECT RED are in active collaboration with each other. So with every patch and driver update, the performance of the game will keep improving. The above mentioned are still pretty impressive considering that the game was tested while running at 4K and on performance mode with Ultra High Graphics.
