This is the Complete Cyberpunk 2077 Graphics & Optimization Guide, ft. side-by-side graphics quality comparisons, benchmarks, and research on the game's settings, along with tuning advice.
Sponsor: Drop ENTR Mechanical Keyboard (dro.ps/gamersnexus-entr-3)
This was a nearly insurmountable amount of work that required the entire team's involvement. Patrick and Andrew worked side-by-side for a week on just running tests and collecting visual comparisons, Keegan spent hours combing through footage and editing it, and Steve worked on the editorial and testing components of the piece.

This content will break-down the most intensive graphics settings in Cyberpunk 2077, the biggest FPS gains you can get from tuning settings, and the biggest visual quality changes from those settings. Graphics options we'll be defining are as below. There were a few options that didn't make the final cut for this guide due to length, but we tested every single setting in the game. Items not present were ruled to have little impact to performance or, in some cases, were actually not working yet. LOD settings, for instance, had very little impact on the whole, and the distance at which LOD levels changed was constant across all settings. Sub-surface scatter quality also had almost no difference. We looked at hands, ears, veins, and faces to try and find sub-surface scattering differences, and they were so small that it wasn't worth spending time to include. Facial lighting geometry was one we couldn't find any differences for. CDPR says it's in there and working, but we couldn't find any evidence of that after testing for a few hours. These were omitted for those reasons. The graphics options and settings covered include:
- Screen-space reflections (off, low, medium, high, ultra, psycho, RT)
- Ray-traced reflections
- Local shadow mesh quality
- Local shadow quality
- RT shadows
- Cascaded shadow range & resolution
- Distant shadow resolution
- Contact shadows
- Volumetric Cloud Quality
- Volumetric Fog Resolution
- RTX off vs. on - global illumination, ambient occlusion, lighting, shadows, etc.
- Anisotropy and Anisotropic Filtering
- Max Dynamic Decals
- Crowd Density
- etc.

    • @@GamersNexus Props to Keegan for some excellent work. I did pause the vid and tried to see the differences, but I guess my eyes are getting old because a lot of the time I just didn't see anything really obvious, and certainly not much that I would have noticed if I was playing the game, and wasn't specifically looking for the differences. Another thing is that several times I found myself preferring a simpler less accurate option rather than the more complex and potentially more accurately rendered option. One such setting is Ambient Occlusion. Sure, at higher settings it may look spectacular, but if I look at this from the viewpoint of it being a game I am going to play then I actually prefer it at low or even off as then it makes it easier to see anything that's stuck into a corner, or making it possible to actually see an enemy that's lurking in the shadows. Sure it's a bit like cheating, but given my aging reflexes, aging eyesight and limited coordination I'll take any advantage I can get... Some other settings really doesn't show well in still pictures. Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering are two of those. In a still image there is some noticeable differences, but when in motion these differences can be substantial. Unfortunately I can see how it is hard to line up several takes keeping the motion smooth and perfectly synced every time for a comparison like the ones done for the four way stills.

For example: rain effects are stopped by overhanging buildings when outside and don't wet the ground which is not a usual consideration for these types of open-world games.

  • One thing that I would suggest to add to these kids of videos is a “Recomended list of settings like Hardware Unboxed does on their game optimization guides. For instance have a GN High preset, Medium, and Low. This would add some time to the making of the video but it would be nice for the more casual watchers that stumble across this video and don’t want to watch the whole 40 minute video and want a quick list of “optimal settings” to get better performance with still decent visuals.

    • I find even ultra can have a nasty affect on material quality, especially at oblique angles. Roads and sidewalks just shimmer. I take the hit on psycho, which not only seems to pull more sources, but increases the accuracy significantly. Just a lot less of that weird dither shimmer on bumpy surfaces. It's night and day for noise in highly-reflective areas. Depends on how you're running things. At 1080p, I get away with it running mostly medium settings elsewhere and DLSS quality, to keep psycho ssr. Lowest I see is ~75fps and it looks so much better. Those reflection settings may be the most impactful overall, just because yeah, some places don't have them, but most seem to have them plastered everywhere.

    • I noticed this when playing the game on my gf's 1080p 27" monitor. Her rig isn't quite good enough for high or ultra, so I noticed some disgusting grain on reflections.

    • You can have SSR set to low and enable Raytraced Reflections which also removes the grain and looks even better than SSR set to ultra

  • These setting values are getting complicated enough to where the developers should really look into an option to turn on a variable preset, where these values are predetermined based on the scene. It's awesome to have options, but it completely destroys immersion if you have to change your settings based on different scenario realted variables.

  • Awesome piece of information! I took a lot of notes to make sure my next play session is even more fun! Only thing I noticed is the difference in content quality in some parts of the video. For some settings, the difference in quality vs performance was explained and in some others it was not. (One example of lower quality content was Local Shadow mesh quality and local shadow quality, cascaded shadow resolution and distant shadow resolution), otherwise, I am begging for more of these types of videos! Thank you for your awesome work, like allways.
