I pretty much just let the game decide for me. I only fiddled with film grain and motion blur, because I hate both. My suspicion for a number of the bugs (Given that a lot more seem to be occurring on spinning rust platforms) is that the storage is the key factor. My games drive is an NVME drive sat on the motherboard, although I couldn't tell you off hand whether it's processor lanes or chipset lanes, and I've had very few problems that amount to any problems in game - Literally one crash to desktop and a bunch of visual bugs peppered around the game Depending on who you ask, I get between 40 and 100 FPS on 2560x1440 - I would lean towards 40, personally, because I doubt my install has any special sauce that hasn't been replicated by people with much more powerful hardware.
I did wonder why I could purchase like.. Ten sex toys with which there is nothing to do. Same for the BD's - They all have that tag that says 'incompatible', made me wonder why they were even for sale..
Its been pretty much clear of bugs for me so far, well no more bugs than you would see in any other large open work game with the odd stuck NPC, I think the most glaring one I notice is in the charactr clothing screen sometimes the clothes you choose don't load until you switch back and forth, no crashes. I tried 1440p ultra last night on my 1080Ti, which like you I disable the stuff in the film grain motion blur section and it was a 60fps lock for the most part, really large open parts down to 40, I don't run uncapped due to gaming on a slow 4k TV so don't know how high it would go inside, I was using the TV scaler to upscale it to 4k this time, it was reasonably better than dynamic upscaling in Cyberpunk, so biggest saving seems to be resolution over any options I have tried, it was still a bit murky on a 46" screen so I still prefer the in game static upscale and take the fps drop.
As said, the game's auto setting seems to be pretty good. At least on nVidia card it almost exactly match Geforce Experience settings for my card. SSD is a must. I've got it on CPU-lanes 3000 MB/s 1TB NVMe drive, rather than the 1500 MB/s 2TB NVMe drive. Zero problems for me, even when driving fast throughout the city. I also echo above, resolution seems to be a performance killer. I gained so much performance by enabling and dropping DLSS internal resolution. So I think a slower RTX card will perform better than alternative at similar price just for enabling DLSS. Also, I personally feel DLSS Quality setting gives best image quality due to added details and removal of need for AA by DLSS. The ***** blunt weapon was very good. I used it to beat Spoiler the Thor-like boss to death Though savepoints in that mission is a mess. Go through HUGE number of enemy AND the boss at the end without getting any opportunity to save anywhere in the middle. It's a good 30-45min of gameplay possibly need to replay due to getting killed by the boss. I also found GLADOS Easter egg It sounds like been voiced by GLADOS voice actress herself.
One thing this title has done for me has added a little more weight to DLSS for a future Nvidia purchase, my general stance is not to use this fakery stuff and have a card which has all the grunt to drive your screen but it is nice to have a good fakery option, until this point a 6900XT was a lock for me, now I am swaying back, particularly if the rumored 3080Ti cards drop, the benefit of not being able to actually find stock on something means I have not already jumped ship from my 1080.
Yeah I hadn't really looked much at DLSS before but was on the side of doing it the old way (what happened to having hardware so powerful it could render at twice the display resolution and downsample?), but this seems to have been a big success for DLSS, helping mitigate any performance loss that might be suffered when putting RTX on.
Has anyone heard anything about hacking in 3rd person cameras? I'd like to get a better look at how the mantis blades operate..
You know what, I can't believe I'm gonna advocate for more dildos but this argument is pretty cogent. There's been a giant statue of Santa Claus holding a butt plug in Rotterdam since 2001, there's been "used panties" vending machines in certain Japanese city centres since the early 2000s, there's a revolution in user agency and interaction in the porn industry, a whole new post-3rd-wave splinter of feminist thought that's going down the sexual freedom and openness route...I buy it. 2077 would probably have decorative dildos everywhere. Also dildos are just hilarious. edit - Oh dear. I wonder if certain hardware configs make it more likely... edit - I think patches will sort a lot of this out, it looks like fairly basic bugs (not big-picture scripting and level design problems like Elder Scrolls)
The only thing that raised my eyebrow about the dildos is that they're purchasable for no discernable reason. The store itself? Makes sense. Sex and Night City seem to go hand in hand. Wasting resources on making player-purchasable sex toys that serve no purpose? I don't understand. Even something as daft as littering your apartment with sex toys would make more sense than were we're currently at. But you drop 'em and they just sit there in that paper bag looking thing.
I wonder if they were just trying to be risqué and deliberately court controversy, a la GTA San Andreas. Someone shoulda told them, it takes more than that these days.
Of all the things CDPR should be focusing on right now, I'm not sure dildos should be near the top ten anyway
They do serve a purpose as Junk. They can be converted to components to allow you to upgrade your armour and weapons via crafting. Well known fact strapping 30,000 anal beads to your armour reduces the damage you take. Also breaking down two black mamba’s allows more penetration damage on your arm mounted blades.
I don't even see such things as one of the first perks I got was the 'auto disassemble junk' one, so it all just vanishes in the blender giving free xp! I've finally worked out how to play this game, long range sniper/hacking kills! I now can do whole levels just Demoning the enermies to death, nay a shot fired! Or for particually tought ones I picked up a legendary 30mm looking sniper rifle which basically one shots everything! Oh and a pistol that 3 shots most things. And an assualt rifle that is just satifying! The latter are silenced, although I really wish you could silence the snipers and LMG's like you can in farcry games
But.. Why would you buy common crafting items? The game is littered with them! .. Assuming you all play like I do and steal everything that isn't nailed down. I usually have to visit two sales people to empty my inventory 'cause they never have enough cash for the amount of crap I unload, even with the auto-disassemble perk.
