Top of the line settings would be ultra, dlss to qualify, ray tracing to psycho. But be warned you need a 3090 to get respectable FPS at those settings. But man does the game shine on those settings. I average around 68 fps at 1440p resolution. At 4k it's in the 40s, even with a 3090. I play this game exclusively on my old 27" glossy 1440p monitor and it's absolutely stunning. That glossy monitor is only used for Cyberpunk. It's a shame they no longer make glossy monitors. Graphics jumps out of an all glass panel.What graphic settings make this game look amazing, hit won't burn my computer down either? LOL
I have a RTX-3080, 32GB DDR4, and Solid State Drive.

His 3080 will work just fine and only be around 10% slower than a 3090 in cyberpunk. It is rare that it will make settings go from playable to unplayable between a 3080 and 3090.Top of the line settings would be ultra, dlss to qualify, ray tracing to psycho.

I've found that disabling individual RTX effects doesn't have large performance implications, shadows least of all. You'll get more performance gainz by turning RTX quality down to High and changing DLSS settingRay-Traced Shadows, On or Off?
True. I was thinking of maxed out settings at 4k. 3080 won't cut it. But at his resolution, your advice would suffice. Only thing I disagree on is Ray tracing difference from psycho to lesser. Night scenes with rain and lighting definately looks better at psycho setting than any of the lesser ray tracing settings.His 3080 will work just fine and only be around 10% slower than a 3090 in cyberpunk.

If the ultrawide is 1440p then you might have to set DLSS to balanced, rather than quality. Generally psycho is not worth it for raytracing unless you have fps to spare, but put it to high and leave most other settings at max or close to max. You can lower cloud quality and setting anisotropic filtering to 8 will give you a slight boost if your frame rate is borderline acceptable.
The 3080 is fine at 4k, but it needs DLSS balanced but so would a 3090 to be playable (FPS jumping between 40 and 50 is not playable IMO). Ultrawide 1440p is not that far off 4k resolution. DLSS quality at 4k would be similar to running 1440p with DLSS off.True. I was thinking of maxed out settings at 4k. 3080 won't cut it. But at his resolution, your advice would suffice.
Balanced I'd think, if you are using raytracing. My overclocked-to-the max 3070Ti can barely do 60fps at 1440 RTX + DLSS Balanced and a 3080 isn't thaaaat much faster, plus you're pushing more pixels.DLSS balance or quality for me @ 3440 X 1440res on my RTX 3080?
Those don't have any performance hit, just cosmetic so set to taste. Personally I doAnd how about those first bunch of Graphics options? I have them all Off;
Film Grain
Chromatic
Depth of Field
Lens Flare
Motion Blur
Or should I turn On?
They are mostly stylistic effects mostly simulating lens artifacts and effects. Their impact on fps is minor.And how about those first bunch of Graphics options? I have them all Off;

Try quality first and then balanced. If you feel quality is OK then use it.DLSS balance or quality for me @ 3440 X 1440res on my RTX 3080?
I vaguely remember CDPR saying more or less that Psycho RTX was intended for cinematic screenshots and dick-waving and they discourage actually using it for gameplay. I don't have a source on that other than my memory though.Just set everything on and to high and put DLSS on performance. I did that on a 2080 Ti at 3440 x 1440 and got a solid 60 fps. 3080 should be as good or a little better.
Not sure psycho ray tracing makes any difference. It lowered performance and looked the same. Maybe in certain scenes it is better, but not worth making the game unplayable the rest of the time (unless you have 3090, then knock yourself out).
That comes from the global illumination that is only turned on when set to Psycho, which as just mentioned can be turned on independent of the game setting. RTGI is the primary reason to use ray tracing, so it's a complete waste to not use it. Shadows and reflections are just nice shiny side effects.True.

And that's how some of us like it. But there are intense action sequences also. Wait until you play that highway chase part. That part alone should have been used in the trailer for the game. Best animation I've seen in any game to date.At the point on the game in the hotel, watching that Asian dude murder his Father.
Game so far is pretty slow paced at moments. Tons of quest dialogue, just sitting there.
I don't expect Doom Eternal or Destiny 2 type action, I know this is an RPG, but even Skyrim moves along quicker and gives more action.
This game feels very slow going so far. Just sitting or walking and chatting.
agreed. there are some glorious cinematic moments and for me lots of dialogue is a plus, I'm in it for the narrative as much as anything else. I play ultramodded w/"tactical" combat so action is intense but brief so I can get back to wandering around NCAnd that's how some of us like it. But there are intense action sequences also.

Not really, I ran 1440p at those settings and it was perfectly playable throughout on a 3080.Top of the line settings would be ultra, dlss to qualify, ray tracing to psycho. But be warned you need a 3090 to get respectable FPS at those settings.
3080 Ti FE here and 12700K and I maxed out everything with Psycho SSR and RTX Lighting. DLSS set to Balanced and get a locked 60fps at 3440x1440 for reference. You will gain more frames with DLSS on Performance.What graphic settings make this game look amazing, hit won't burn my computer down either? LOL

I wish there were more lifepath-specific dialogue options, the ones that are there provide some nice variety and backstory and it would have been neat to have more of that. Seeing them laid out like that shows how few are lifepath-specific compared to the massive amount of lines in the game overall
yep, I do love that variability. I've started 8 playthrus and completed 5 of those and still see new convo options occasionally.There are also dialogue options that open up depending on how you play the game. Like there are maybe 5 different ways you can "deal" with that pimp dude, but only 2 of them will be available unless you completed other story lines first.
You know that Portal spoof was done by the actual Portal voice actress?That delamain taxi side quest alone was pretty hilarious.
