Mod Origin

This mod is modified from PinkStone PathTracing for Radeons (a path tracing optimization mod for AMD Radeon GPUs) via the link: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/24132.I have adjusted several parameters to optimize compatibility with NVIDIA GPUs.

Recommended to use with CPU Optimization v3.

Note

Unverified on other platforms or graphics cards. No guarantee of the same performance results on other setups.

Update

Added comparison screenshots.

Framerates are not included, as the improvement ranges from 10–20 FPS depending on the scene.

The screenshots are for reference only, showing the visual difference before and after installing this mod.

They do not represent the original vanilla game visuals, as I use many other graphic mods.

1. 02：Optimized the performance of dark areas further based on version 1. 01, with almost no performance loss.

1. 02B2：Adjusted based on version 1. 01, increased the number of light bounces to 2, which greatly improved the visual quality of dark areas and shadows. Performance decreased by an average of 5–10 FPS compared to 1. 01, but is still about 5–10 FPS higher than the vanilla game.

(All FPS changes are measured in a single scene; performance impact varies by location.)
