I wonder if it'll support ray-tracing...the game seems like a perfect showcase for that tech
No answer yet:
But since The Wicher 3 supported GPU-PhysX I would say there is a fair chance of DXR support in Cyberpunk 2077.
They can add RTX to the GOTY and sell it again.He's giving the correct business answer. There's no upside to announcing RT support,
a) before the game has gone gold and is finalized (lots can change up until and even after launch date, and CDPR got burned before on committing too early - W3 downgrade-gate for instance), and
b) RT is polarizing and lots of gamers kneejerk resent it because they feel the GPUs capable of it are priced out of their reach,
c) CDPR doesn't want Cyberpunk + RTX headlines because some might assume it requires an RTX card, or requires RTX for best experience and therefore dampens enthusiasm for 99.999% of gamers that don't have RTX card.
Goal of videogame sales is sell as many copies as possible.

I suspect DXR feature toggles will end up in the graphical settings, and some (probably hybridized) RT reflections will be sprinkled in because raytracing just fits the game thematically, but they'll de-emphasize RT in PR and interviews as they prob should.If they do it well, it will- but I expect that while the difference might be stark, the game as it stands will still be a graphical knockout.

Granted that tweet was last September which really was too early since RTX cards had barely come out, but he gave correct business answer. There's no upside to announcing RT support,

The trailer made me smile, but I think I heard my video card weeping.
That's fine too. That's actually what I would prefer- if they could manage to implement / harness RT without a performance hit on RT hardware, or at least, have a setting that enhances visuals without a performance hit, and still be able to scale with newer, faster hardware.
Considering how much of a downgrade Witcher 3 looked from the previews to the release game I wouldn't worry much. I understand why they did it, but I still expect them to continue that trend with Cyberpunk.

You should read up on what CDPR said about that and how they will do stuff in the future before stuffing your foot further into your mouth

Chill out a bit on the fanboyism dude. CDPR blatantly lied, multiple times, about Witcher 3's downgrade. Them saying "we're not doing that again" doesn't mean people should just automatically trust them. Skepitism is warranted.
Pot, kettle, black...you funny!
I was thinking about what unicorn farts smelled like, and the only thing I keep coming up is stripper apple butter glitter glotion.You want a unicorn with that "free performance" too?

Not 'free'- it'd require hardware RT, I'm just positing that if they limit the reach of the effects, they could provide a 'low' setting without a performance hit. Ray tracing is easy, hybrid ray tracing is hard...
G'damn, how'd they keep Keanu Reeves a secret? It was a secret, right? I certainly had no clue. That was big ass bombshell for me.
In part this is to avoid another Crysis. The game looked stunning but ran like shit, even when it started to look out dated. I can run graphically superior games on modern hardware while Crysis 1 still limps along. Hard to optimize a game for hardware that doesn't exist yet. Often times we see games previewed with great graphics but they have to be toned down a lot so the can guarantee consistent real time performance.
Oh shit keeanu reeves lol. I've been dying to play this game. As fit RT, there's a good bet it will be there.
