Since its launch Cyberpunk 2077 became a technical reference for excellent graphics quality and ray tracing support applied to shadows, reflections and lighting. To counter the performance loss, the CD Projekt RED team also used NVIDIA DLSS, a technology that was still in the process of maturing at the time.
Cyberpunk 2077 has seen important updates over time to keep it on the cutting edge of technology, such as route tracing, an advanced form of ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 3.7. Mods also played a very important role in revitalizing the technical processing of this game and managed to bring it to such a high level that it reached photorealism.
I’m not exaggerating at all, just watch the attached video to realize that there are scenes where the level of graphic quality is so high that it is difficult to distinguish them from reality. For example, the vehicle modeling and reflections are the best I’ve seen in the game, and the same can be said for the vegetation and the lighting and shadow contrasts present in the scenarios.
I especially liked the summary of the graphic quality in the scenarios that we can see from minute 1:49 to minute 2:49and the level that shows the section dedicated to the villa is also not far behind.
DreamPunk 2.1 mod was used to achieve this level of graphical quality in Cyberpunk 2077. This adjust graphics settings set in-game and modify it to apply additional, more demanding settings that improve indirect lighting, diffuse lighting, and saturation of color lookup tables, among other things.
This mod not only improves the level of graphic realism, but also increases immersion and creates a truly unique experience. This mod has an important counterpart, which is that it significantly affects performance. To counter this, it allows you to activate NVIDIA DLSS 3.7.10which includes intelligent scaling, image generation and ray reconstruction.
In order to move a modem of this type smoothly, it is necessary to have very powerful graphics card within the GeForce RTX 40 series, which are the most powerful ones that currently exist if we talk about ray tracing or trajectory tracing. It should also be noted that the mod is paid, so we will have to log out in order to use it.
