WEBVTT 00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:07.759 hello do you realize your ARM is in the pavement sir 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:13.679 this is a good-looking game wow this is the lighting without rtx you 00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:19.760 are not playing this game with ray tracing on and dlss disabled 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:25.119 it's finally actually coming out guys we've got it cyberpunk 2077 and 00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:31.359 of course we've got the answer to the question you guys all want to know 00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:37.760 how does it look running on the absolute maximum balls to the wall hardware at 4k 00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:43.360 or for extra credit at 8k 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.600 on the world's best tv the lg 00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:48.879 88 inch OLED let's find out shall we ladies and 00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:53.440 gentlemen and this video is brought to you by origin pc who sent over the 00:00:51.680 --> 00:00:57.440 hardware that we're going to be using for our experience today origin pc 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:02.079 ladies and gentlemen they don't do everything necessarily right 00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:05.760 but boy do they ever have the best shipping materials because this thing is 00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:09.920 gonna freaking work no matter what i do to it here we go boys 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:12.400 ah look i'm in a hurry we got a game to 00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.880 play let's go 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.320 you wouldn't know it from what i did to the packing materials don't worry though 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:31.119 origins packing materials top notch but 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:37.680 this is a very special pc it's in a Corsair 4000d but 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.040 this is what they're calling a resto mod 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.680 version so they've done a custom 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:49.920 graphic for it that sort of harkens back to uh a simpler time back when new 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.920 ducktales episodes were still airing and the front of computers looked a little 00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.159 something like this like that compact disc logo right there get that that 00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:02.799 floppy drive and for the color 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:07.520 they've gone with a classic beige because those were the days when you 00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:12.480 know it was less about flash and more about 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:18.800 well they weren't fast they're so it was about something 00:02:14.720 --> 00:02:20.840 anyway in true restomod style naturally 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:27.040 even though they've gone after the aesthetic of an older pc the insides of 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:34.800 this thing are absolutely packed to the gills with the latest gaming hardware 00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:39.360 yes my friends it is liquid cooled it is 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:41.800 packing an rtx 3080 it's got a 4k 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:48.480 capture card and a 5950x 16 core processor so no matter how 00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:54.160 hungry cyberpunk 2077 is we are going to be absolutely chewing through it 00:02:51.519 --> 00:02:58.640 one minor inconvenience is that because i did want to run it at 8k as well i 00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:04.400 might have to figure out how to get an rtx 3098 here at some point let's fire 00:03:02.239 --> 00:03:10.720 it up oh wow that is very RGB uh 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.640 which is definitely uh 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:15.760 different when you consider the retro theme i guess that's kind of the point 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:20.800 though right oh man yeah we're really not uh not 00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:25.200 hiding what's actually under the hood of the engine in this particular resto mod 00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:29.680 eh so they're only making 50 of these and once they're gone they are gone 00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:33.840 actually one more thing we need to fire this up get the launcher installed and 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:39.120 okay that's cute we got the real player 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:42.319 real player icon got the network neighborhood up in here all 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.680 right that's adorable thank you origin pc 00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:48.640 that's it game's downloading all i got to do now 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.239 is catch some z's on my CPU pillow 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.720 lttstore.com see you guys in a bit 00:03:54.239 --> 00:04:01.519 wake up samurai we've got a game to play sorry uh film the video dude no 00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:06.239 seriousness though guys it is i forgot to put on my watch i'm so out of it it's 00:04:03.920 --> 00:04:12.159 five in the morning Colton johno and david got our early access copy of the 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.920 game all sorted out this morning and we 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:20.239 are ready to play cyberpunk 2077. 00:04:15.920 --> 00:04:21.359 uh it's running at 380 frames per second 00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:26.560 in the menu so let's see how the game runs do you guys want to go straight to high or 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:30.639 should we start at lake medium medium okay we'll start at medium now we are 00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:35.120 aware that there could be some performance irregularities in our 00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:39.199 version of the game this is the early access beta drm protected version of the 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:46.479 game we didn't get any clarification as to what exactly drm protected means 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:51.040 we turned on shadowplay recording it's recording the game i want to play this 00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:54.880 game HDR we're gonna play on like the best tv in the market we're gonna play 00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:58.160 with some HDR ladies and gentlemen what are we running at so one thing we change 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.560 field of view we change it to 90. by default it's like 75 or something 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:08.240 let's change it to 90. uh medium yeah yeah lens flare motion 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:12.880 blur i changed that to off uh by default i think it was on low medium there we go 00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:19.039 okay medium preset wow medium has a lot of like 00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:23.680 low stuff and ray tracing's off on medium for sure styles so just 00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:26.639 click continue where is it going to drop me you guys 00:05:25.520 --> 00:05:32.240 continue wow this is the lighting without rtx 00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.759 that's kind of impressive already right out of the gate 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:41.360 what kind of quality are we looking at for these passers-by well dang 00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:45.680 this looks pretty darn good for medium don't it 00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:50.720 i mean i've seen some speculation that cd projekt red is like delaying the 00:05:47.840 --> 00:05:53.840 console release by a few hours because they're like worried it's not gonna look 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:57.680 good or whatever based on how good this is running on 00:05:56.080 --> 00:06:02.000 like very very nice looking even if they're 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:07.039 medium settings i am less worried 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:10.080 this is like a locked 60 FPS pretty much i might be a little more nervous than i 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:15.600 was before because this is medium settings on an 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.600 rtx 3080. 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.840 all right that's fair you guys want to try out dlss first look at this shiny 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:26.720 shirt how stylish is this guy hold on talk to 00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:32.160 the chris so this is not benchmarking i just want to know how it runs with 00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.880 dlss that's all so quality so this should render 00:06:34.479 --> 00:06:42.880 internally at 1440p if i recall correctly 00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:46.080 okay well that was a quick and easy 30 00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:47.520 performance gain ish approximately 00:06:46.080 --> 00:06:52.960 i mean that's man 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:58.319 the lss is sweet that is noticeably smoother in terms of 00:06:55.520 --> 00:07:03.280 the actual gameplay experience this is a good looking game 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:07.680 honestly there's places where i can kind of tell like tom's diner the sign there 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:11.120 actually i can't tell if that's just like kind of like a heat distortion 00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:17.360 effect oh my god i think the reason it's ripley 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:22.560 is just because of like the like the heat distortion of the like hvac of the 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:26.960 diner like that's pretty cool 00:07:24.960 --> 00:07:31.360 if we didn't get a 30 FPS improvement i would think dlss is 00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:35.520 not freaking working because we dropped to 53 here which is 00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:40.000 not benchmarking just talking about the experience here's a difference i can see 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:43.919 that i'm expecting high details to kind of smooth out for me like look how bad 00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:49.520 this guy on the stairs looks those are some like 2005 textures right there but 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:52.479 the world is so populous i understand why they have to do that i think that's 00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:57.199 something that's going to push the card higher as we push detail levels up so 00:07:54.560 --> 00:08:01.360 what changes from medium to high we get film grain 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:05.280 low motion blur depth of field lens flare 00:08:02.479 --> 00:08:09.759 what else changes here shadow mesh quality so let's have a look 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.919 screen space reflections i want to see what our draw distance is looking like 00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:19.440 level of detail goes to high i'm expecting that to change things like the 00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:21.199 quality of the crowd around me 00:08:19.440 --> 00:08:24.720 so shadows are something that mostly stays at 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:30.479 medium i mean given how good the lighting looked even at medium 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:33.200 bearing in mind again that this is the 00:08:30.479 --> 00:08:37.279 early access drm version whatever that means we changed to high 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:42.159 that cost us about 20 25 percent of our performance 00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:45.200 there like 43 45 FPS 00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.440 yeah that is markedly better you can tell 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.399 that they're expending a lot of performance improving the quality of the 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:58.880 crowd look at this this is without real-time ray tracing 00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:02.959 like look at the quality of these reflections 00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:06.959 and it's not like in like a need for speed underground like the whole world 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:12.720 is shiny kind of way like this is actually reasonable 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.600 okay now can dlss save this can we play 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:20.720 on high i'm sticking with quality so there's a lesser performance improvement 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:25.680 but we expect it to look very similar to native rendering with the quality dlss 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:32.240 setting look how much better the crowd looks and to me like in a game like this 00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:38.080 that is so much of the atmosphere and so much of the immersion that when i see 00:09:35.040 --> 00:09:39.839 people's like clothing texture quality 00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:43.760 dynamically changing as they're walking towards me on even like a 00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:49.519 a small street like this it's it's pretty jarring whereas 00:09:46.880 --> 00:09:54.240 this is not nearly as noticeable like you could see here let's watch this guy 00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:54.240 with the purple shiny pants there 00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:00.000 that's the flip over point right there that's that's where the the asset 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:04.000 quality change that's pretty good by the time someone's that far away like it's 00:10:02.160 --> 00:10:09.360 almost unnatural for them to look that sharp anyway 00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:15.360 you could you could guarantee they spent a ton of time tuning that hey yeah like 00:10:11.760 --> 00:10:16.480 here this uh lady with the backpack 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:21.600 right there you can see it and we're still like even in a crowded 00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:27.120 area like this we're still running above 60 FPS i mean 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.920 of course it's rtx 3080 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:31.839 oh they have different settings for ray tracing 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:37.120 so okay what does ultra look like okay 00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:40.000 ultra cranks everything except ray tracing 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:45.279 and then if we set it to ray tracing medium oh it keeps everything on ultra and then 00:10:43.760 --> 00:10:48.079 just sets retracement i would have thought it would compensate by turning 00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:54.079 down some other things and turning up retracing i think a lot of people are going to turn on that ray tracing medium 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:59.600 preset thinking it means medium graphical fidelity but ray tracing on 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:04.320 and that is that is not what that is okay this is gonna nope it's not this is 00:11:01.680 --> 00:11:08.720 gonna be the processor wrecker okay are people fighting is that gunfire 00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:13.279 are you sure 00:11:24.640 --> 00:11:30.000 sir are you okay sir now you know i'm really interested in 00:11:28.880 --> 00:11:34.240 this can because i actually think that as it was 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:38.399 rolling around on the red surface that was part of why it kind of seemed like 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:43.440 we couldn't see it and i do wonder if ray tracing 00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:47.120 is going to make that lighting a little bit more realistic you see how the 00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:51.680 bottom of the can is just yeah so okay hold on i got i g before that 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:55.040 can stop rolling i want to turn ray tracing on and see what happens 00:11:55.440 --> 00:12:03.200 what uh okay so it's still the same behavior which is interesting so that 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:08.639 means either ray traced lighting in this game is not that expensive 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:13.440 or it means that whatever it's doing when it's not ray tracing is really 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:17.440 expensive and when i say expensive i mean in terms of GPU compute 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:21.519 requirements okay hold on i don't wanna i don't wanna experience that too much 00:12:18.959 --> 00:12:27.040 yet i wanna i wanna focus on looking at ultra oh man now i'm getting 00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:30.560 distracted because this is fascinating 00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:33.600 our frame rate went down ray tracing may 00:12:30.560 --> 00:12:35.680 be more effective than whatever other 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:40.000 method of global illumination they are using for this game well here we can 00:12:38.160 --> 00:12:44.480 easily flip between it i love how quickly this game allows you to tune 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.480 your settings i mean 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:51.120 that is a big game changer in terms of the actual experience of like getting 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:55.680 the game locked in like getting jumped into the game the fact that you're not 00:12:53.120 --> 00:13:00.079 going out and restarting it constantly and like okay is it running okay now 00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:06.320 um wow yeah i mean i'm sure there's more 00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:09.360 i'm sure it's like better but do you see it 00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:13.440 no i can't point out what it is if we put them side by side i'm sure we could 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:19.120 be oh yeah yes i can tell from the pixels 00:13:17.040 --> 00:13:24.560 but high looks really good there you go that's the Linus tech tips 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.519 recommendation if you've got the horses 00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:29.839 high with quality dlss 00:13:28.079 --> 00:13:33.600 is like what you want to run at if you're running an rtx 3080 you're 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:38.480 probably realistically a 30-70 at that point okay well that's what i want to figure 00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:41.040 out next is okay now what happens if we start playing around with ray tracing 00:13:39.920 --> 00:13:46.959 that's it that's the money right there game like this that's more environment 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:51.440 story driven 60 80 FPS that is lots 00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:00.639 i don't think our ray tracing setting was working before 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:08.720 this is very different okay i don't think this is right 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:14.560 no it wouldn't be this bad okay just a second here 00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:16.959 okay let's just go to ultra again and 00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:20.480 see what happens okay there we go 00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:25.199 all right now settings 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:29.839 retracing medium 00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:33.839 wait so is that what happened is we didn't realize that dlss was turning on 00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:38.720 before or did it just like glitch out hard there 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:44.279 i think we didn't realize 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:50.480 so you i mean unless something dramatic changes 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:54.560 between now and i don't know what time it is but like 00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:59.839 10 hours from now you are not playing this game with ray 00:14:57.040 --> 00:15:03.340 tracing on and dlss disabled that is not happening 00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:06.079 wow okay 00:15:06.079 --> 00:15:11.639 now what if i set it to quality instead of auto 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:22.079 oh wow so dlss is working real hard when you've 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:29.760 got ray tracing on like you are rendering at probably 1080p at best 00:15:27.199 --> 00:15:34.079 oh i see and you know what 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:37.440 hold on a second so look at just the look at just the hood of the car 00:15:36.079 --> 00:15:41.279 um as we as we rotate around it so you see 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:45.680 a little bit of noise in it right that's a characteristic of upscaling 00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:51.680 that you just you can't really get around you see just like a little bit of noise in the in the rear hood or trunk 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:57.120 whatever you want to call it the boot okay now let's uh let's go ahead and 00:15:55.040 --> 00:16:00.240 change to auto 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:05.600 and then i expect that you're gonna see that get quite a bit worse yep there it 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:05.600 is you see all that noise 00:16:06.079 --> 00:16:11.440 it's still okay when you're not focused on an 00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:15.279 object it's not bad but it's way more 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:20.079 noticeable you can see it in that railing like you can kind of see it it's 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:24.399 like there's like a like a noise filter over everything and that's not the film 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.920 grain effect it's different it's more noticeable in areas where 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:32.560 there's more light which is again normal when it comes to 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.920 image noise yeah it's it's noticeable 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:42.160 i mean obviously we didn't notice it before when we were looking at that can 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:46.560 rolling down the street oh that explains why the performance 00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:52.560 improves too david yeah that doesn't make sense so let's figure out let's so we're 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:56.880 running around 50 55 FPS right now so let's go ahead and not set it to auto so 00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.639 i'm willing to bet we're running on performance or ultra performance right 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:04.519 now performance yep 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:11.600 you know what i'm not sure i think it might still be 1080 but just with more 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.600 approximations 00:17:13.679 --> 00:17:17.280 hyper ultra performance 00:17:17.360 --> 00:17:23.679 that is very noticeable 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:27.439 yeah the road looks absolutely disgusting at the edges of the fridge so 00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:31.840 this you're probably right this probably is like 720p upscaled 00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:36.320 or like maybe it's rendering parts of the scene at higher 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:40.080 ah yeah i know the car looks really nasty too just everything looks pretty 00:17:37.919 --> 00:17:45.720 nasty especially towards the edges of the frame 00:17:41.760 --> 00:17:45.720 yeah that's nasty tastic 00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:52.799 the good news is that leaving it on auto is 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:56.640 probably just kind of your best bet okay here's some really interesting 00:17:54.320 --> 00:18:02.720 shadows let's flip it back to quality 00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:02.720 let's flip it back to hi 00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:07.280 do you have to change the dls no okay 00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:12.559 wait did that even change 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.840 okay yeah 00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:21.360 okay all right you can really see in the 00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:25.360 shadows of the stairs like those look like 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:29.120 garbage town compared to the raytraced shadows 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:32.080 okay yeah i can see it for sure look at that 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:38.000 okay man which one would you play on though look at this green car on the side you 00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:40.840 see the green car right there okay let's flip back 00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:47.440 to high ma'am 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.559 what's more important to you sharpness 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:54.240 or i mean those shadows really do look like 00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:57.240 just a smudgy blurry mess compared to 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.240 that 00:18:58.320 --> 00:19:04.320 okay part of my problem too with rtx is like do you see how it was i kind of 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:09.280 felt like there was too much bloom as i was coming out of that tunnel 00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:14.000 like i get it it's supposed to kind of uh mimic the effect of stepping out into 00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:19.200 a bright area but it doesn't because it's not when i like drive through a 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:24.799 tunnel my eyes do not adjust to it you know this works like aperture on a 00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:27.919 camera not like my eyes because i'm in my car like looking ahead to the road 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:33.520 i'm not like staring at the dark wall of the 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:35.120 inside of the tunnel for hours on end 00:19:33.520 --> 00:19:39.440 that's something that i kind of struggle with i find a little 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:44.640 bit immersion breaking about most rtx implementations that i've seen see that 00:19:41.760 --> 00:19:49.760 actually looks more realistic to me oh no it doesn't that's really awful too 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:51.120 but this area closer to us is fine 00:19:49.760 --> 00:19:55.120 so you see that get out of my way 00:19:52.960 --> 00:20:00.480 they've done a good job if nothing else of mimicking the way that 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:05.520 like real-time ray tracing global illumination works with their regular 00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:10.160 non-ray-traced global illumination the quality is clearly lower in cases like 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:13.760 those stairs but 00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:17.600 i'd say they're both good and this one comes down to personal preference 00:20:15.840 --> 00:20:21.760 do you want that like incredible fidelity in the shadows or do you want 00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:26.320 that incredible fidelity in the game world something we haven't talked about 00:20:23.840 --> 00:20:31.440 much is how the lower fidelity the original graphical asset is the worse 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:35.919 it's going to look with deep learning super sampling right garbage in garbage 00:20:34.080 --> 00:20:41.120 out so you look at the road right next to the car not bad you look at the car itself okay 00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:45.280 yeah you've got that kind of uh that grainy effect on it 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:49.120 not bad though but look at that road way out in front of us through the tunnel 00:20:47.600 --> 00:20:52.480 it's not good whereas if we flip back to 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:59.200 hi yeah 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:04.640 big difference okay wait i want to see this i want to 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:08.080 see this raytraced look at all the candles and stuff 00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:13.840 no maybe rage racing's the answer david 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:19.120 auto switch look at the look at just 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:23.600 the immersiveness of this environment with all these different colors of light 00:21:21.280 --> 00:21:27.919 like these candles does that not looking freaking 00:21:25.280 --> 00:21:33.440 incredible oh i don't know what's the right answer 00:21:33.679 --> 00:21:41.039 and then okay we're gonna go back i we could go all the way to ultra 00:21:39.120 --> 00:21:45.360 without ray tracing and it just it looks fake it looks flat 00:21:43.520 --> 00:21:49.039 it looks like a video game again and it's subtle like 00:21:47.840 --> 00:21:54.159 but it's really real 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:54.159 okay i want to see ultra now 00:21:54.320 --> 00:22:01.039 you know the difference between medium and ultra is like just the reflections 00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:04.320 yeah it's really not that noticeable to me 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:09.919 because the lighting is what really gives the scene depth 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:11.520 environments like this with ray tracing 00:22:09.919 --> 00:22:14.159 on really does 00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:22.880 like just the the way his clothing moves when his head moves like oh 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:27.440 did you see his ARM when he reached up david yeah 00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:34.080 and i'm sitting so close to this that's another thing to consider guys is we are 00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:36.640 quite literally blown up right now like 00:22:34.080 --> 00:22:41.120 if i'm on a monitor if i'm on a monitor i'm like 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:45.360 i'm at like this distance and that difference in sharpness 00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:49.360 not that noticeable from here okay you ready for 8k then yeah all 00:22:47.840 --> 00:22:52.640 right this was good enough like dark scene we've okay yeah i think so too oh 00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:58.880 man all right okay um rtx 30 90 time or i i 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.480 don't know do you do you want to do you want to try it okay with the 3080 00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:06.880 all right we just had to change over to 8k mode on 00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:13.600 our HDMI port wow that is really broken i can't tell 00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:15.679 what it looks like is changing in that 00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:19.919 horizontal divide both of them look right 00:23:17.760 --> 00:23:24.720 but different do you know what i mean the top half of the screen is missing 00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:28.480 particles and i can't tell if like chromatic 00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:31.440 aberration no yeah chromatic aberration goes through the barrier 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:37.039 okay okay well let's just try changing some 00:23:33.919 --> 00:23:38.720 graphical settings and see oh 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:45.120 this is this is very annoying 00:23:41.840 --> 00:23:46.480 okay so if we go to 4k 00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:50.559 we can figure out what we're running at so what 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:54.400 did we decide ray tracing medium was our target david 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:58.880 so let's do that then we'll go to 8k 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:01.919 wow this uh 00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:07.360 does not look great 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:12.559 when your graphics card is at the very limit of what it can handle turning on 00:24:10.080 --> 00:24:16.480 something like shadow play can impact performance very 00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:21.279 significantly even if it doesn't under normal circumstances so i'm gonna turn 00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:24.960 that back off okay back to the human eye the thing about the resolution of the 00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:28.880 human eye is that resolution doesn't mean 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:33.919 how many dots per a given area that's how we define resolution in terms of 00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:38.720 screens the resolution of the human eye is the detail it can resolve resolution 00:24:37.679 --> 00:24:44.240 and objects in motion have sort of different 00:24:41.679 --> 00:24:50.880 resolution characteristics than static objects so if we're looking at this at 00:24:47.360 --> 00:24:54.720 15 FPS 8k or whatever and we just look 00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:56.320 at some high res assets on a static 00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:59.200 wall or something like that here let's go back let's go back in here 00:24:58.320 --> 00:25:04.720 okay that looks flippin awesome but the 00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:09.200 problem is that as soon as anything's in motion the way that our eye perceives 00:25:07.360 --> 00:25:14.880 the resolution of the image the detail of the image is very poor so you need a 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:20.000 combination of high frame rate and high detail and at 8k this just well i mean 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:23.760 come on i don't think i need to tell you guys this ain't cutting it like that 00:25:21.919 --> 00:25:27.919 looks horrible right that's not there's no resolution left 00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:33.520 anymore when the frame rate is so low rock on we're going rtx 30 90 baby 00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:38.159 so we're gonna start with 4k ray trace medium 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:39.840 and as expected that's not like 00:25:38.159 --> 00:25:43.279 night and day but i would also say that that is 00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:46.480 noticeably smoother this is raytrace medium 00:25:45.360 --> 00:25:52.559 okay given that the performance is not markedly better 00:25:50.080 --> 00:25:56.799 i don't have a lot of hope for this but i mean 00:25:54.320 --> 00:25:59.600 you guys you guys want to see it right okay 00:25:58.559 --> 00:26:05.200 well you know what 00:26:01.600 --> 00:26:08.240 to NVIDIA and the game's credit 24 FPS 00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:10.720 is a lot better than 15 FPS in terms of 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:15.679 raw percentage i wouldn't say that it's a great gaming 00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:20.000 experience but it's a lot better 00:26:18.320 --> 00:26:25.640 so this is 8k balanced 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.640 20 FPS 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:36.720 all right here's the thing then it comes down to your goal the only reason to 00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:41.600 turn it to 8k is if you want the ultimate in image crispness in sharpness 00:26:39.840 --> 00:26:45.440 and if that's what you're after we already determined that turning on ray 00:26:43.360 --> 00:26:50.559 tracing well you're already making compromises to the sharpness at 4k 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:55.360 let alone at 8k in order to maintain a playable frame rate so clearly 00:26:53.279 --> 00:27:00.400 this is kind of like a pointless scenario 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:02.720 8k with ray tracing which requires dlss 00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:08.159 which reduces the sharpness we've like got settings that are working against 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:11.200 each other so with that in mind 00:27:08.159 --> 00:27:14.640 let's try it without ray tracing 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:18.640 dlss is now off 00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:20.640 man 8k continues to underwhelm me 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:24.400 even if i don't move the camera around and we don't have any tearing or like 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:27.840 really bad motion blur like this is 23 FPS this is 00:27:26.159 --> 00:27:35.520 the cinematic frame rate right here ladies and gentlemen like it's not bad 00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:37.279 it just doesn't look that much better 00:27:35.520 --> 00:27:41.520 and a big part of that is that the textures just aren't 00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:45.120 they're not 8k because there's no point putting such gigantic textures in the 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:49.200 game like this road looks like a video game texture you know 00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:52.720 and you do lose some of that resolution on the characters which are one of the 00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:56.880 things that really stand out about the game to me as being so detailed 00:27:55.039 --> 00:28:00.159 um when you're running at a frame rate like this like you can't like here let's 00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:04.000 wait for someone to walk right in front of us 00:28:02.080 --> 00:28:09.919 and i'll show you you can't make out the like here like you can't make out their face 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.919 really at all like you can't 00:28:11.679 --> 00:28:18.159 hey i think your spray cans broke in there but is that the same guy 00:28:18.159 --> 00:28:23.919 well that's a bit of a letdown 8k totally not worth it you know what though we are recording right now okay 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:30.240 let's stop the recording that camera's rolling okay here we go let's see if that helps a lot there's 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:34.799 the 30 90 flexing its muscles all that extra vram means that yeah okay the game 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:37.840 still doesn't run perfect by any stretch of the imagination 00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:44.720 but the difference between recording and not recording is only like 00:28:41.919 --> 00:28:48.880 1 to 2 FPS now instead of absolutely tanking it like it did on the 3080. i 00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:53.120 mean that was only applicable at 8k and i wouldn't run this game at 8k 00:28:51.679 --> 00:28:57.679 but install the latest drivers 00:28:54.960 --> 00:29:00.640 you've got to be kidding me like just now 00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:05.120 all right sure all right let's find out ladies and 00:29:04.159 --> 00:29:11.039 gentlemen we're running the game ready driver now on the rtx 3090 and we realized 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:16.720 something the quick presets do not adjust texture quality you can only 00:29:13.360 --> 00:29:18.960 adjust texture quality in the main menu 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:22.880 so i would assume we were running on medium texture quality before that kind 00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:27.120 of explains why vending machines for example were not changing their level of 00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:32.799 detail as we were flipping through the presets 00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:34.240 now i don't see anything else in here 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:38.880 that has appeared now that we're in the main 00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:42.720 menu so on the rtx 3090 we're flipping over to high textures i mean it's got 00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:46.559 like oodles of vram anyway so i wouldn't expect it to make much of a difference 00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:51.200 but now you guys know unfortunately because of the drm i'm not gonna risk 00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:55.919 swapping the 30 90 out and putting the 3080 back in that's not happening we're 00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:59.600 just gonna have to move forward with what we've got here 00:29:57.679 --> 00:30:05.200 anyway the video is called running at max settings not comprehensive 00:30:01.600 --> 00:30:08.880 benchmarking performance review so 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:10.640 this is gonna be that oh yeah 00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:13.760 yep that looks 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:20.640 way better if you've got the vram you are going to 00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:23.120 want to run it at high texture quality 00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:27.279 wow so it's not everything 00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:33.279 but where it makes a difference that is a big difference let's see how the rtx 00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:38.480 3090 handles this video yeah still at 4k still at 4k guys 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:41.679 preset retracing medium here we go 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.799 67 FPS in here 00:30:51.520 --> 00:30:58.240 let's check we might not even need it to be on that 00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:02.559 whether it's the game ready driver or the rtx 3090 upgrade is hard to say at 00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:07.840 this point unfortunately because everything's changing so fast right now 00:31:05.360 --> 00:31:12.159 but 50 FPS in here with quality dlss 00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:16.559 dang 40 out on the street so 00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:22.640 i wouldn't say that the game ready driver probably changed the actual 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:24.559 performance of the game that much 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:31.039 looks like more like you know it it's tuned as opposed to you suddenly go 00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:33.840 to 300 FPS from you know 50 or whatever 00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:37.440 of course we gotta try 8k i said i was gonna run the game on max 00:31:35.840 --> 00:31:42.080 settings so you ready 00:31:39.600 --> 00:31:44.880 ray tracing ultra texture's high 00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:49.919 yeah you're probably right because it sucks 00:31:48.320 --> 00:31:53.840 all the haters are gonna be like okay should we just turn the lss off 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:57.440 all right this is it ladies and gentlemen the moment you waited for 00:31:56.320 --> 00:32:03.120 8k everything absolutely maxed oh right i 00:31:59.760 --> 00:32:03.120 gotta actually change the resolution 00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:10.480 well it's gonna be a graphics card generation 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:14.559 or two before we're gonna get playable frame rates in this game at 8k without 00:32:13.600 --> 00:32:19.840 any deep learning super sampling tricks 00:32:17.679 --> 00:32:23.440 but when that happens it's gonna look real fly 00:32:24.159 --> 00:32:30.240 two things to disclaim here guys one this is of course a pre-release copy of 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:34.159 the game so it might not be indicative of final performance 00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:38.880 and number two don't expect this to go from seven FPS 00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:44.480 to playable in seven hours or however long it is 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:49.279 game comes out i think 7 FPS is probably enough for 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.279 candlelight 00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:57.039 it's really not like that is 00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:02.640 gorgeous all right so why don't we try and see if 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:04.720 we can make 8k playable then okay 00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:07.519 so dlss i mean we're going to have to go to like 00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:11.200 let's try performance 3090 going to performance seems to seems 00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:15.600 to do it but as i said in a take that we might 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:19.760 have ended up throwing away this is not how i would run the game 00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:24.720 because if your goal is the absolute sharpest resolution well i mean that's 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:29.519 the only reason to turn it to 8k then you don't want to be running dlss 00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:33.760 in performance mode obviously because it really hurts the sharpness of the image 00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:37.519 particularly around the edge in general it hurts the sharpness of the image in a 00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:41.279 big way you'd be far better off just running at one quarter of the pixel 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:44.399 count running at 4k and enjoying that additional sharpness 00:33:43.360 --> 00:33:49.200 and not using dlss in performance mode being 00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:52.720 able to use it in quality mode that would be a much better experience 00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:56.320 you're kind of working against yourself but hey we did it 00:33:54.480 --> 00:34:00.880 and you know what you guys did you made it all the way to the end of this video 00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:04.840 so that i could tell you again thank you for watching thanks to origin pc for 00:34:03.360 --> 00:34:10.000 sponsoring it and lttstore.com 00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:14.480 you know if your CPU is not fast enough for cyberpunk well at least your head 00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:19.839 can be comfortable while you rest and wait for a faster CPU to just magically 00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.839 appear
