Heavily Customized Optimization

The project has been closed.

After more than 59 hours of intensive experimenting and benchmarking, a few issues are to be addressed by CDPR that I'm unable to fix:

• []A lot of Depth Prepass (2. 3k) for each object within render range, excluding the rest of other DrawIndexedInstanced (3. 4k - 7. 2k), each pass takes 0. 0014 - 0. 005 ms, combined can reach from 5. 87 ms - 14. 7ms

  []Areas like V's apartment is broken into smaller meshes (78 to be exact), DrawInstanced uses from 5. 76 ms to 9. 76 ms

  []Texture decompression plays big role in fps usage

  []ExecuteIndirect uses 2. 35 ms to 3. 74 ms

  Statistics:

  7,277. 282 s from MSI Afterburner

  20,487. 379 s from Fraps benchmark

  27,764. 661 s / 7. 7124 hrs in total benchmarking

  113 benchmarks done (looking outside V's Apartment > streets in night city > highway > streets > underground tunnel > streets with big buildings view > under bridge > end)

  245. 7 s average benchmark duration

  (Oodle Kraken BC5U) Texture Decompression time taken: roughly 7ms @ 7. 9 - 8. 1 million vertices (31. 2385 ms at the staircase of V's building facing the street)

  Nvidia Nsight Graphics was used to profile a single frame render in Cyberpunk 2077 Ultra quality tweaked

  Specs tested on:

  i7-3770 4 Cores 8 Threads @ 3. 4Ghz

  12GB DDR3 1600Mhz

  ASUS dual GTX 1060 6GB (461. 40 driver) (not overclocked)

  Windows 10 64 bit

  Notes:

  Use this in conjunction with NVIDIA Control Panel to give more fps for GPUs like GTX 1060 6GB or similar. If you are a AMD graphics user, I am currently investigating if users have a similar functionality that allows to tweak Anti-Aliasing, Texture Filtering, etc.

  If you are GPU bound, it is highly advisable to switch to lower resolution like 1768 x 992 or 1600 x 900. This lets you push a bit more fps when not CPU bound. (or not if you want crisp quality)

  This mod is used in conjunction with: (use instructions from individual pages to assist with installation)

  Config Overhaul for Cyberpunk 2077 by derplayer123

  What to select: Open the application and select "Optimized" and close.

  NVIDIA Control Panel:

  Go onto the desktop, right click > NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > switch from Global Settings to Program Settings (use Global if you want other games to adopt the tweaked settings) and under "1. Select a program to customize:", find cyberpunk2077.exe and redlauncher.exe, if it's not there, click "Add" and and click browse if the game doesn't appear under the "Add" pop-up window.

  These are the settings to change:
