RIP 4 core cpus. :(

Was that in there?

Kind of. There’s no separate CPU benchmark set, but they ran their 3090 testing also with half the cores turned off to simulate a 4 core CPU. It’s the light blue bar in the bar graphs.

Looks like hitting with a four core setup you won’t be maintaining a solid 60, but often dipping into the 40s.

Little surprised this is 91 on Metacritic. Pleased, but surprised given the reviews I skimmed.

Yeah, several of the bugs mentioned by the reviews I have seen it in leaked videos. If that’s the build they were playing, the scores are somewhat inflated by the huge amounts of hype.

Or maybe not all reviewers experienced the same amout of bugs and/or care about them to the same degree.

I wonder what would PCG score be like if they didn’t experience any bugs.

Geez, I need to be reading more IGN Japan.

Review at IGN US is pretty good too. It’s quite detailed and I liked how Tom Marks mentioned finishing the game quickly versus doing multitude of side quests which opened a lot more end-game options. The review also doesn’t seem to be based on a mathematical formula (subtract 1.2 for bugs, subtract 0.3 for lack of urgency etc) and instead rates the game on the overall experience. This same reviewer originally reviewed Hollow Knight at PC Gamer (and if not for that review, I’d have missed that absolutely amazing game), and while the two games must be quite different, the completely optional but very interesting and at times hidden game areas, which add significant details to the main game path, are also where these games may have lot in common too.

If I can find a 6800 XT, I’d get the game from GoG immediately.

Those preview numbers are pretty rough. With a 3070, getting anywhere near 60 fps at 1440p Ultra and DLSS-Q will be a challenge, depending on whatever game and driver optimization they roll out.

[kerzain]

They got Witcher 3 running on a Switch, given enough time I’m sure they’ll figure out how to get Cyberpunk working on cutting edge and enthusiast hardware.

To the posts above this one it seems relevant and ignored?

Be wary when reading pre-release performance analysis takes.

FYI: Cyberpunk currently has DRM that is only active for reviewers and is known to reduce performance. Will not be active on launch day, therefore any testing published today will not accurately reflect launch performance. CDPR warned us of this, so we are waiting for launch day.

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.

Yes, that was my reference to further enhancements. From the article:

However, there’s a major disclaimer: This is near-final code, but CDPR has been working on bug fixes, tuning, and optimization for the past couple of weeks. AMD and Nvidia are also working on driver improvements, and the preview copy includes Denuvo protection. That could impact CPU performance in particular, which is why this is a preview of how the game runs. The final release code should perform at least this well, and hopefully a bit better.

As mentioned already, all of these results are without the planned day-0 patch, so things could still improve. We wouldn’t expect much more than a 10-15 percent boost in performance from further code optimizations, but we’ll see soon enough.

Cross your fingers!

[Scotch_Lufkin]

Is this the review version he was testing? The review version has Denuvo drm that has serious performance impact the retail version will not have.

I think someone (Scott?) wanted to see the perk list but it was removed. I found this, I think it’s complete

Resetera’s mod (and loud minority of its userbase) team are authoritarian fascists who purge people for slightest disagreement. So, quite an understatement.

I wouldn’t say its a minority of the userbase at all. It seems like mostly everyone is part of a hive mind over there and any attempt to question, debate, or actually get into the nuances of sensitive issues results in a temporary or permanent ban. It makes me so thankful that I found this place a few months ago.

People really suck.

That was me, I like seeing that stuff before hand, thanks!

My installed Cyberpunk updated itself with a 15Gb patch yesterday.

PC or console?

I believe PS4 players are reporting total installed capacity of a little over 100 gigs. Believe my PC preload is only around 65 at this point.
