Bonus Material: Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive vs RTX 3050 at 1080p 30FPS! (Patreon)

Content

The RTX 3050 is widely acknowledged to be the least performant RTX desktop GPU - but believe it or not, it is possible to play the RT Overdrive version of Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p30, thanks a mixture of DLSS performance mode and an interesting mod!

We're currently considering whether to roll this out into a larger 10-12 minute video with more GPUs covered (if so, which ones?) or to include it into Alex's larger analysis, or simply to discuss in DF Direct Weekly. Your input is appreciated, but in the meantime, enjoy the #content.

The idea does fascinate me - that an RTX 3050 is able to get 30FPS with RT and especially Overdrive. Either a 10-12 min video or a decent discussion about it on the weekly would satisfy me, but I might lean towards the dedicated video. \_(ツ)_/¯

Personally, I’m not interested in more Cyberpunk content. It was cool to see some of the updates but it’s already a few years old (plus a polarizing title). There’s a ton of other stuff to look into, this year is stacked.

Would y’all consider testing laptop GPUs at all?

Cyberpunk is so visually striking so it makes for good videos I think :)

Interestingly, the 3050 sometimes performs better than the 2060 in Quake2rtx, at least from what has been posted on openbenchmark.org

Definitely interested to see a deeper dive in how the reduction is bounces affects image quality across a number of GPUs, I feel like the mod could benefit things like the 3080 by allowing a higher base resolution for DLSS.

Personally I think it would work find in Alex's larger analysis but I could see the appeal of doing a smaller video covering the common GPUS on the market and what could be done to get it running at 30FPS with the mod(s).

I look forward to both the larger analysis and the shorter GPU analyses... O:-) I'd bookend the two or three most popular RT GPUs (or more, if Alex feels the compunction) with the 3050 and 4090 to get a feel for the cost of path tracing and the quality gamut.

Would love to see how a laptop with the 4050 holds up when Rich gets one down the road.

Not sure what is included in "Alex's larger analysis", but more RT Overdrive content is always welcome! Particularly, I would find it interesting to compare performance in RT Overdrive on different GPUs: Turing, Ampere, Ada Lovelace, RDNA2/3. The new meme is: "Can it run RT Overdrive?"

I like the idea of “how far has RT come.” Both software and hardware. Amd and Nvidia. But a wider scope of games that would, of course, include Cyberpunk 2077.

Dylan

I think it merits its own video. I’d watch it!

I would be fine with either approach but IMHO a separate piece looking at performance across a few common GPUs would be awesome - maybe throw in some AMD as well. Not to beat a dead horse, but to see what they need to focus on going forward. Key compromises for common Nvidia cards with a brief quality comparison would be awesome too (what res? What dlss level? Is the mod needed?)

In general I can't get enough of RTO coverage for Cyberpunk. Still the most stunning game of this gen so far and the continued tech developments are super interesting
