DLSS 3.5 FAQ

What is DLSS 3.5?

NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 features Ray Reconstruction, a new AI model that creates higher quality ray-traced images for intensive ray-traced games and apps. 

DLSS 3.5 is a suite of AI rendering technologies powered by Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs for faster frame rates, better image quality, and great responsiveness. DLSS now includes Super Resolution & DLAA (available for all RTX GPUs), Frame Generation (RTX 40 Series GPUs), and Ray Reconstruction (available for all RTX GPUs)

How does DLSS 3.5 work?

DLSS Ray Reconstruction adds additional AI to the ray-tracing lighting pipeline by replacing  multiple hand-tuned denoisers and adding a combined AI model for Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction, addressing image quality challenges associated with a denoiser and high frequency information loss during upscaling.  

Is DLSS Ray Reconstruction for path traced games, RT games or both?

DLSS Ray Reconstruction is most advantageous to games that use ray tracing heavily. Path tracing definitely falls into that category. It can also provide advantages to games that use ray tracing on multiple effects.

Can we expect Ray Reconstruction to be a separate setting in game menus like Frame Generation?

Yes. There is a new Ray Reconstruction toggle available when Super Resolution is ON.

Why does Ray Reconstruction require Super Resolution to be on?

Because Ray Reconstruction is a combined AI model with Super Resolution to address the image quality issues that occur when there is high-frequency detail loss during the denoising/upscaling stage of the ray-tracing pipeline.

Does DLSS 3.5 improve performance or take away performance?

Performance varies based on the number of ray-traced effects. Games with multiple ray-traced effects may have several denoisers that are replaced by the single Ray Reconstruction neural network. In these cases, Ray Reconstruction can also offer a performance boost. In titles with less intensive ray tracing and fewer denoisers, Ray Reconstruction improves image quality though may have a slight performance cost.

Compatibility

• GeForce RTX 40 Series users can combine Super Resolution and Frame Generation with Ray Reconstruction.
• GeForce RTX 20 and 30 Series users can add Ray Reconstruction to their AI-powered technologies, alongside Super Resolution and DLAA.

“Tell us what excites you the most about DLSS 3.5 in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty or Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update!”

[u/N7even]

I'm actually quite excited to see how well Ray Reconstruction works.

It could make Path Tracing in more games viable (combined with upscaling of course).

Right now, it looks too noisy in certain places and I couldn't find myself using it for too long.

[u/RedIndianRobin → u/N7even]

Right now, it looks too noisy in certain places

Especially if you enter a close space like a car or a building, it becomes very noisy and the FPS tanks too. This ray reconstruction tech is exactly for this purpose. To eliminate the noise while giving slight boost in the FPS.

[u/JavArc13 → u/RedIndianRobin]

I'm really looking forward if RR can eliminate or even just reduce that.

[u/LawTider → u/RedIndianRobin]

It is super noisy when you look at ingame garbage bags (and there are plenty of those lying around).

[u/OkPiccolo0 → u/LawTider]

Fences are the worst offenders.

[u/Built2kill → u/RedIndianRobin]

This was one of my issues using path tracing in cyberpunk, any kind of DLSS use made the inside of cars look absolutely horrible, there seems to be pretty big issues with mesh fences aswell.

[u/ThisPlaceisHell → u/N7even]

I'm really curious if ray reconstruction is just a fancy term for their radiance caching or if that's something completely separate and not yet implemented. Because if they're different then that's yet another technique that will improve path tracing significantly. Exciting times.

[u/St3fem → u/ThisPlaceisHell]

Apparently ray reconstruction is an AI denoiser that combine with an upscaler to solve the problem of denoising before upscaling which remove a lot of useful data for the upscaling pass and that just happen to be way better at recognizing how light works from the very few sample available

NRC looks to be a different thing

[u/zzzxxx0110 → u/ThisPlaceisHell]

No it's completely separate. Think of it like the difference between DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation, but for rays.

Radiance Caching is using AIs to generate completely nonexistent rays, so you get RT rendering without actually doing RT computation, at least for parts of the image.

DLSS Ray Reconstruction is that you do still do conventional RT computation, but you use an AI powered magically powerful denoisor for the denoising pass, and because of that you can use a much less number of ray count in your RT computation to get the same image quality, thus exponentially reduce the performance cost of your RT pipeline, or give you significantly higher image quality with the same number of ray counts especially for a lot of the high frequency and transient image details.

[u/nFbReaper → u/ThisPlaceisHell]

I heard they are completely seperate things.

[u/gartenriese → u/ThisPlaceisHell]

AFAIK neural radiance caches are something else.

[u/PlaceboKoyote → u/N7even]

, it looks too noisy in certain places and I couldn't find myself using it for too long.

Ah so i played a bit around after getting my 7900xtx and thought this was an fsr issue or i did sth wrong. The lighting with path tracing looks great. Like not particular great itself but it behaves incredibly realostic. It feels organic. Reflections somehow dont get much better and the floor.... Like it looks noisy (i called them artefacts but noisy is a much better term). Like tiled floors look actually bad and some things like the face in the mirror Look like through a dirty lense etc. So that wasn't my fault.

Why does that noise happen? I kinda had the constant feeling that i should turn the Light on or rub my eyes in interiors. And it feels like texturs don't really work properly. Given, cdpr says the path tracing is only experimental.

In the hope to not spark an "fsr bad" discussion in this sub, but i also noticed how the noise actually messew with fsr. Like normal Game looks good, fsr quality loojs the same, more fsr and it doesn't "pop" anymore, then looses Detail, then looks shitty. Those are basically the settings for fsr. When path tracing is on, some issues with fsr go away... But the floor... The fsr slider becomes a "floor quality" slider. Like you don't notice anymore how fsr changes anything but the floor, and everything below Quality looks Instantly like complete garbage. Somehow the noise gets multiplied by a lot by simply having fsr on.... But only for the floor (like for everything else too but not as noticeable).

[u/N7even → u/PlaceboKoyote]

I'm not very technically knowledgeable, but it might be because path tracing is much more demanding and the GPU simply cannot keep up with the limited amount of light bounce data to be able to render lighting clearly.

Closed indoor lighting must bounce many more times, hence there is much more data to process.

[u/PlaceboKoyote → u/N7even]

Shouldn't that lead to lower fps instead of "uncomplete remdered" frames?

[u/OkPiccolo0 → u/PlaceboKoyote]

The quality of path tracing/noise is directly tied to your resolution. Running at 4K DLSS balanced mode (2227x1253) looks quite good. Ray reconstruction is going to help fix a bunch of the imperfections but since that's not an option for you I'd suggest just loading the game at native 1440p just to get an idea of what it should look like. Unfortunately it's going to be a slide show.

[u/Titan_BT_1988 → u/N7even]

Ray tracing with high frames obviously. Can’t wait to start from scratch with the 2.0 update

[u/suppeople → u/N7even]

Looking forward towards next level visuals

[u/CubistMUC → u/N7even]

I'm not excited about the average price and especially the power consumption of modern graphic solutions.

[u/jzuijlek → u/N7even]

Oh man, are you kidding me? DLSS 3.5 in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty?! My GPU is practically drooling – or it would be if it wasn't a solid piece of silicon. I mean, I've been geeking out about ray tracing for ages, and now with Ray Reconstruction?

It's like giving a wizard a lightsaber.

Imagine cruising Night City with those slick ray-traced puddles looking even shinier! I might just spend half my gameplay time staring at neon reflections. Forget chasing bad guys, I'll be chasing pixels! And if this boosts frame rates too? My monitor will need to wear sunglasses. It's like the future just got a graphics update.

Game on! 🎮😂

[u/powerhcm8 → u/N7even]

I wonder if ray reconstruction will work on older game via the dll swap.

I noticed that more small objects on the floor have shadows now in ray reconstruction.

[u/St3fem → u/powerhcm8]

It will not but if modders can disable the original denoisers and take the RT effects or PT sampling output as input it may be possible, looks way harder than adding just super resolution though

[u/voidspace021]

The revamped police and skill trees are the most exciting thing about this update

[u/Risley → u/voidspace021]

Honestly at this point, having not beaten the game and not picked up I like a year, I’m just going to restart. It’s so different now from when I started.

[u/Firecracker048 → u/voidspace021]

Combat too

[u/txaaron]

I just got a 4090 and it's coming in on Thursday. I'm excited to see what DLSS is all about and can't think of a better game to try it in! Coming from a 1080 ti.

[u/Sergnb → u/txaaron]

I came from a 1070 to a 4070 and the difference is night and day. I can't remember the last time I was actually impressed by a graphical jump. I was staring at puddles like i just did mushrooms and shit, it was great

[u/ibeerianhamhock → u/txaaron]

I just got a 4080 coming in the mail this week too! Great timing for both of us with this game dropping.

[u/Pepeg66 → u/txaaron]

make sure to install hwinfo64 and check the GPU 16PIN HVPWR Voltage to be above 12, if it gets to like 11.5 means not inserted cable fully or faulty cable

[u/StealUrKill → u/Pepeg66]

Or crappy power supply lol

[u/Soulshot96 → u/Pepeg66]

To add to this, since it's not the clearest statement ever and there is some nuance to this that is kinda lost; some vdroop (voltage drop) under load is totally normal, and fine. 11.9 or even probably 11.8 isn't cause for much concern. Much lower though, especially without load, and yea, it may be time to check your cable to make sure you installed it properly, or consider a new one.

[u/danielbrian86 → u/txaaron]

hoowee that’s an upgrade! i got a 4090 a week ago and it’s been eating Starfield for breakfast.

does anyone know if DLSS 3.5 + RR actually improves image quality vs native 4K?

[u/thatmayanveil]

Cyberpunk2077 is the most unique FPS I’ve ever played. In the 3 years it has been out, I have not seen anything like it, or any other dev try to imitate it. I’m playing Starfield and having the best time with it. However, in SF you can feel the bones of the systems Bethesda has made since before Morrowind. It works, it’s still fun. But you can feel yourself playing Skyrim or Fallout when playing SF; it’s just how the mechanics feel. There is absolutely nothing in Cyberpunk that makes me feel like Im playing something else. I believe that fact will win out in how successful CP2077 will end up being, when looking back. I’m playing this DLC regardless of getting this giveaway or not, but it would life changing to be able to tweak this game with all new performance overhead.

[u/jamesdm23]

The RT with the new reconstructions techniques and with hi frame rates is amazing.

[u/jadenrules123]

I'm very excited about Ray Reconstruction. Given that it works well enough it should make Path Tracing much more usable. I love Ray Tracing in Cyberpunk. It's probably one of the best implementations we've ever seen and I'd love to crank up those settings.

[u/Extremnes]

Ray Reconstruction seems like a nice step towards an even cleaner image than DLSS already offers.

Can't wait to replay Cyberpunk with the new update and DLC and experience Night City again.

[u/ZeRoXOiA]

Being able to play the game in all its glory! Raytracing is awesome.

[u/kwikade]

Very excited to try out ray reconstruction with my new build

[u/smokemymeatzzz]

Excited to get even more immersed in the game as I will now be able to see individual blood cells during combat in the game :)

[u/mVran]

I would like to see the rays in there full glory ;)

[u/Genki79]

Skill tree rework and seeing the future of ray tracing

[u/lemmika]

Really exited for the revamped trees, can’t wait to play it with the new Ray tracing effects. Hey, are there any trees?

[u/OneIShot]

Ray reconstruction really makes the game even more of a night and day difference between RTX and without. So excited to see the tech visually move forward even more.

[u/NIGos]

Is anyone else experiencing heavy object trailing with the new Ray Reconstruction? Eyes smudge when blinking, faces warp when turning and also the cursor while using terminals shows lots of ghosting (Corpo intro - terminal in the booth after meeting with Jenkins).

If I disable Ray Reconstruction all the smearing goes away.

This is with the newest drivers installed (clean installation) and new game install.

Seems that RR should prevent exactly this issue so I am puzzled that it now looks even worse.

[u/JarthOS]

Was there a drawing date for a winner? Or any terms and conditions ever posted?

[u/justmadeforthat → u/JarthOS]

None I think, they did not post any eligible country too

[u/leegoocrap]

My AI overlord (bard) says

I am most excited about the potential of DLSS 3.5 to make Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty look and run even better. DLSS 3.5 is a new version of NVIDIA's deep learning super sampling technology that introduces a new AI-powered rendering technique called Ray Reconstruction. This new technique improves the image quality and the detail of ray-traced lighting in effects in games that make good use of RT.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that already makes extensive use of ray tracing, so it is likely to benefit greatly from DLSS 3.5. I am particularly excited to see how DLSS 3.5 improves the quality of ray-traced reflections and global illumination in the game.

In addition to improving image quality, DLSS 3.5 can also significantly boost frame rates. This is especially important for Cyberpunk 2077, which is a demanding game that can be difficult to run at high resolutions and frame rates.

Overall, I believe that DLSS 3.5 has the potential to make Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty the most visually impressive and performant version of the game yet. I am eager to try it out for myself when it is released.

:D

[u/ViperBite308]

I never played cyberpunk just yet but honestly what excites me and makes me want to buy the game is the DLSS 3.5 and all the new tech so I can see how it works.

[u/j3d1j03]

Really excited to finally play the game as it was intended, with full path tracing and high FPS on NVIDIA GPUs! Will complement my new PC build.

[u/Nairblol]

Excited to see where this technology can take future gaming. It’s looking glorious!

[u/rulzZz23]

Is the enhancement in image quality. The sharpness and detail that this technology brings make the gaming experience even more immersive. As for the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update, I’m thrilled about the new missions and the expansion of the game world. I can’t wait to explore the new areas and take on the new challenges!

[u/Robitaille20]

I think the promise of what 3.5 brings to the table with the 4000 series cards is incredible and is exciting for the future of gaming - however the price of cards these days is pricing people out of the full experience. I would love to own a 4080 or 4090, but after biting the bullet and paying the price for a 3080 soon after release (I did get it for MSRP thankfully) I just can't justify the thought of spending the money for the new cards although I really want one. These pricing models are making gaming a niche market and I can see it pushing more and more people to the console world, and it's a shame.

[u/Mrhungry- → u/Robitaille20]

Eh, kinda. How many people buy 1000$ phones every other year or 3? We buy things we use and see value in. I went from a Nokia flip to a razor to a blackberry to an iPhone 6s Plus to a 13 pro max. Def way less upgrades than most ppl… gpus were 5850 to 960 to 2070 super to 3080 to 4090. Maybe Nvidia will figure out how to finance cards similarly to the way cell phones are. Paying 60 monthly for your 1200 phone bundled together with plan is easier to swallow than one time pay.. I really think this might be what’s needed to blow the roof off gpu sales as it’ll help younger gamers find a way to buy newer and better cards. Sure, it’ll also put some of the youth in possibly tough spots financially or encourage impulse buying but hey, it’s America after all… haha. Gpu industry would be going so damn strong if sales volume 3-5xed in the next year or two with deals like this..

[u/SpiritLBC]

I can't wait for the path-tracing in general. I felt that even psycho mode was super transformative before and now overdrive is making CP77 an even bigger eye-candy.

Very excited for 3.5 as ray reconstruction looks great at cleaning up all those artifacts from using low base resolution.

As for the game, I'm excited for vehicular combat. I love car chase sequences in games and hope that we have a lot of them in here. Why would they advertise it so much, right?

Also, revised skill tree is neat, old one was so broken and felt so soulless.

[u/InsightfulLemon]

I'm excited to play a good looking game again after Starfield and it's weird NPCs... Oh and vehicles that move

[u/Mrhungry- → u/InsightfulLemon]

Vehicles that move 😂😂😂😂. More like stop(motion)field

[u/BigSmackisBack]

Looking forward to 100+ fps at 4k, preferably with Ray Reconstruction. we'll see, cant wait.

[u/Aseili]

i'd love to try the new skill trees with ray tracing

[u/masterchief99]

Currently using a 6900 XT. Would love to try an RTX GPU with DLSS 3.5 functionality to finally be wowed by Ray Tracing. So far the trade offs are not worth it much with my current set up

[u/kugeldusch]

I need more frames, so that’s why I’m happy about DLSS 3.5

Right now my 144hz display is useless ^{^}

[u/Working_Inspector401 → u/kugeldusch]

No even my 4090 was able to run 144 4k on dlls quality or performance, with dlls 3 was better but latecy was a huge no no no , for me

[u/phero1190]

I'm excited to see what impact it has to path tracing. PT is insane but it is so taxing.

[u/LdLrq4TS]

Ray Reconstruction a.k.a better denoiser opens a path to better graphics without sacrificing performance. I hope developers of older games would be willing to experiment and implement in their games too which support raytracing.

[u/NV_Tim]

Saw a few questions around when DLSS 3.5 will be released. This is a direct copy from the article sub-heading.

"Cyberpunk 2077 players can enhance their experience with DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction in the Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode in the base game on September 21st, and in the Phantom Liberty expansion from September 26th."

[u/greensparten]

Ray Reconstruction is what excites me. I think its amazing how AI is not able to clean up the image by addressing the de-noiseer, etc. Watching NVIDIA leap frog every year is increadible.

When it comes to Cyber Punk Phantom Liberty for me its all about the focused narrative around the intriguing character played by Idris Elba.

For CyberPunk 2077, believe it or not I have had it for a year, and only touched it a bit. I felt the skill tree could be better, and so knowing what CDPR did with Witcher 3 with its major overhaul updates, I knew something like this was coming to CP 2077, so I waited.

I cant wait to try the game with the new character builds.

[u/zDevster]

Excited to see the improved graphics fidelity and FPS boost of course! Can't wait to replay it for the 3rd time :-)

[u/faithfulraider]

Excited to jump back into Night City and cranking up those visuals! It is such a vibe.

[u/JoeyHrHo]

I’m so excited to see how much of an improvement it will be from when I played the game on release!

[u/mikmik111]

It's the way the light bounces and how realistic looking a game can be more than ever

[u/NotoriousTetsuo]

After playing it on console and being disappointed, would love to see this game running as promised all those years ago.

[u/Hyydrotoo]

I'm confused. It's "coming" on september 21st but will be available on september 26th?

[u/Manathed → u/Hyydrotoo]

Update 2.0 will be on 21st. Phantom Liberty will release on 26th.

[u/Hyydrotoo → u/Manathed]

I know, but it says that dlss 3.5 with ray reconstruction will be coming on sept 21st and be available on sept 26th lol

[u/Cgb591rocks → u/Hyydrotoo]

Coming to cyberpunk base game, available in the DLC when it releases. It's weird phrasing.

[u/aiden041 → u/Cgb591rocks]

Honestly that still doesn't make any sense.

What day can we use ray reconstruction?

[u/cantonic → u/aiden041]

Sept 21st you can use it.

However, since the DLC isn’t releasing until Sept 26th, you can’t use it for the DLC until then.

[u/NV_Tim → u/aiden041]

September 21st in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0.

[u/aiden041 → u/NV_Tim]

thank you

[u/MissAndRun]

Excited to see how the game looks different in OLED!

[u/rafail_papaioannou]

I'm really interested to try all new nvidia tech but unfortunately i can't afford a new gpu. Entering this giveaway gives me a chance to try all new stuff!

[u/chaosSlinger]

Increased frame rate as well as higher fidelity DLSS; thank you for considering me to win

[u/DemanHD]

Experiencing peak performance while running ray tracing of course.

[u/vevt9020]

I'm most excited about the performance/ visuals ratio. Is it better, does it look better, does it cost more performance, will I get better FPS.

[u/hopelooped]

i am already excited waiting to play Cyberpunk one more time with max ultra hyper psycho settings

[u/beastyAdobo]

A good story is first, second is those mind-blowing rays.

[u/roxeo]

thanks for this giveaway! i would be excited to play cyberpunk at all, especially with dlss3.5. i would love to see those sick details and quality and improvements. much luck for you other guys!

[u/kobekong]

I have zero knowledge about DLSS. This is coming and still using a GTX 970. Would love to know things about it.

[u/No_Carry1404]

I want that thing so I can use it for Roblox!

[u/Lymbasy]

Immersion

[u/Alphastorm2180]

I think the possibilities of ai in rendering are super exciting and dlss 3 is a huge leap that i havent yet been able to experience. Maybe someday rendering will just be simple draw calls with ai mostly filling in the blanks!

[u/uradox]

Looking forward to more fps :)

[u/Alvahj]

Exploring a new game that I’ve never played before with even better frames :0

[u/Mark_Knight]

im a bit out of the loop with dlss. does using dlss set to quality for example, look better than just playing at native resolution with dlss off?

im assuming that dlss set to quality will still offer better performance than with dlss off completely, but what about in regards to image quality?

edit: gotta love reddit.. ask a question and you get downvotes instead of an answer, lmao.

[u/Pernicious_Deed]

New skills!

[u/jam2k2]

Hi

[u/mohito81]

I've been wating since the launch of the game to play it, waiting for all the improvements and bug fixes to experience the game in its final state. Although, having a 3080 i can still enjoy the game on high settings, using frame gen on a 4080 would be awesome.

[u/Pedro748]

The shine off my cyborg body

[u/stash0606]

Let's see how many fps I lose with this update. Only game that has me thinking of upgrading to a RTX 4080. Playing at 1440p DLSS Balanced with Psycho RTX on a 4k screen rn, idk if buying a 4080 to play at 4k DLSS is worth it.

[u/unitedflow]

Let's go!

[u/TenielX]

The Revamped skill tree as well as personally seeing how Ray Reconstruction improves the ray-tracing effects in motion.

[u/MadGenius___]

Stable frames

[u/Calmis1]

Will play it using my 4090

[u/Loony_Llama66]

I’m excited to see the vehicle combat revamped as it just feels a bit lacking in its current state and I think the implementation of DLSS 3.5 and ray tracing could also make this one of the most beautiful games along with its art style

[u/TheReach2134]

I feel the regret of getting an RTX 3070Ti last year and even bought Cyberpunk 2077 after watching Edgerunners!

What I'd do to get my hands on a GPU thar can handle ray tracing, especially with DLSS 3.5, it looks amazing!

[u/Active-Quarter-4197]

Excited to see how good it will look with dlss 3.5 considering how it already looked it before.

[u/TheDooner]

It looks freakin sick

[u/g0rth4n]

I'm excited to be excited!

[u/hzzd]

Want to see the FPS go brrrr with the quality settings maxed.

[u/WetAF]

Better frames, quality and new ways to enjoy the game from the start.

[u/Isildur_9]

I don’t know, I never played it. I just want to win, thnks. Have a nice day

[u/Volteker]

I'm excited to try out all the new content with that shiny ray tracing goodness

[u/CheekyMiss]

A Chance to actually replay the game with bug fixes & hopefully a new GPU that will not blow up my computer by trying to enable ray tracing.

[u/SixKatzi]

I wanna see everything SHINIER and in 1440p 75hz and as many fps as that bad boi can give me

[u/paradoxial]

Game looks amazing tbh

[u/SellComfortable6789]

Better performance!!! Can't wait!

[u/BackSinner]

After playing the game on a 10 year old PC, I'm excited to finally play it at it's best, with all bells and whistles and dlss on my brand-new PC build!

[u/megustareddito]

Looking forward to replaying the game with 2.0 and seeing the performance improvements.

[u/gobbles04]

Fps go vroom!

[u/NovusRomulus]

I’m really interested to see how Ray Tracing: Overdrive works in comparison to standard ray tracing. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

[u/feNRisk]

Exited to admire Night City in all its lights and colors and shadows and reflection... Looks gorgeous

[u/facefullz]

I cannot wait to see how the 4080 will perform. I got a rtx 2080 at launch and was getting low frames with the game.

[u/Repulsive-Dog7270]

Ive been holding out to play this with DLSS 3.5

[u/UnlimitedButts]

Higher res cyber titties baby

[u/Whopper85]

I am really excited by the visual fidelity it brings. When I see dlss 3.5 I regret my earlier choice for amd. Winning this give away would change that…

[u/atl-antic]

I never got to play Cyberpunk 2077, so when I heard that they were revamping the game, now’s the best time, and with DLSS 3.5 it‘ll be a visual spectacle.

[u/Red-Town]

Increased frame rate and Ray Reconstruction.

[u/t3mpt3mp]

Looking forward to 100+ FPS at 4K!!!

[u/rj2115]

Time to enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 in glorious 4k with DLSS 3.5

[u/CizoBomb]

ready for it, super excited about all the changes 🫶🏿

[u/st0n1th]

New story content.

[u/Nevalia]

Excited to benchmark and test new performance metrics here!

[u/gcbofficial]

So I haven’t played Cyberpunk since the pathtracing update came out. Really interested to step back into this world with all the nifty new features. Gonna go full Cyberrunner.

Also really interested in how shiny the vehicles will be w the new tech!

[u/Gonzito3420]

Cant wait for the expansion of Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe I can get a rtx4080? That would be nice

[u/ASF_Bendakk]

Best looking game around. Stunning.

[u/The_Alchemy_Index]

Is now a good time to play CP2077?

[u/roenthomas]

I’m excited to try out the new skill trees!

[u/qazzaq2004]

I am excited to start up a new save making different choices while seeing how the game has evolved over the past 3 years. I got the game at launch and beat it in a few weeks so the expansion is the cherry on top. To play it with maxed out settings would be out of this world.

[u/defromdark]

I think the obvious answer is ray reconstruction.

[u/rageshark23]

Gimme them RAYS

[u/ayylmao_orbee]

FPS BOOST BUT THE REAL ONE

[u/maxelwolf]

Being able to enjoy better graphics without having to trade them for fps.

[u/packmasterswan5]

The city is already so beautiful and fun to explore. I look forward to seeing further visual improvements!

[u/OG_spongepops]

Revamped police system and new skill tree!!!!!

[u/BrainSlug03]

Rays make the game feel more unique so better versions make the game so much better.

[u/Minute_Extent_726]

John wick

[u/Corncove]

I’d be excited to see how much better the game will feel with all that extra performance over what I currently get.

[u/Tirnoch]

I just love cyberpunk <3

[u/DeathKrieg]

I’m excited to see how night city changes with the new path tracing now that ray reconstruction will help maintain my frames. Seeing night city light up will make 2.0 look fantastic

[u/IAmKingSatan]

Can’t wait to see lighting improvements with high frame rates. Can’t do that now with my current rig. Have to pick between ray tracing or frames.

[u/christopher_msa]

the thing that excites me the most about DLSS 3.5 in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is the potential to experience the game's stunning visuals with full ray tracing enabled, even on lower-end hardware. I am also excited about the possibility of using DLSS 3.5 to boost frame rates and improve performance in other demanding games.

I am also excited about the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update, but I am more interested in the new features and content than the bug fixes and performance improvements. I am curious to see what new quests, items, and locations CD Projekt Red has in store for players.

Overall, I am excited about both DLSS 3.5 and the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update. I think both of these things will make Cyberpunk 2077 an even better game.

[u/CaptainGolemActual]

moar frames go brrrr.

[u/SnipeUout]

As game with both a desktop and laptop (3080) I am most excited to see if I can get reasonably good frames with ray tracing on the laptop. Normally I turn it off so I can have a smoother experience.

Cyber punk is a great game to showcase ray tracing based on the theme of the environments.

[u/XOIIO]

I went into cyberpunk blind after all the fixes and it's one of the best games I've ever played and I was desperately wanting more content for it after ending the story.

Dlss 3.5 seems crazy and I'd love some hands on experience with it but yeah, unless I won the giveaway that won't be happening lol.

The tech is crazy impressive and man I can't wait to dive back into that world.

[u/Used-Economy1160]

The thing that excites me the most is restarting the Cyberpunk and enjoy it like I have enjoyed Witcher series...I believe this update will get the game to that level!

[u/ThePewster]

Really waiting to enjoy DLSS with Cyberpunk!

[u/batangbisaya]

I am very excited for the revamp of the gameplay. Also i cant wait to see idris elba in action.

[u/CombineG20R18]

Excited to see Idris Elba. The trailer looks really good

[u/ZiiZoraka]

DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction will be coming to Cyberpunk 2077 with the game’s 2.0 update on September 21st.

DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction will be available September 26th in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, along with full ray tracing.

so can we use ray reconstruction on the 21st or do we need to buy the DLC to unlock it? i dont understand

[u/tacticalpencil]

I’m excited about the new combat features and options to engage enemies in this game

[u/groaner]

I like Ray!

[u/hbjnotnice]

i’m excited to explore the city at night !

[u/pixis_dot94]

Just that, it will be able to upscale my lower resolution images in the game

[u/cutie_dash]

Seeing ray reconstruction in action and how it performs.

[u/deltrontraverse]

Honestly? The performance gain. I want to turn the graphics up to max on my 1440p monitor and just immerse myself in Night City and just chill. The 2.0 update rehauling the game is incredible too, can't wait to see how the police or NPCs react to the player now.

[u/killiefish]

I built my current rig in 1999. It was state of the art at the time. Would love to have new hardware to run Cyberpunk on a new state of the art rig.

[u/KevinKingsb]

I got excited for 2 seconds, thinking it was out today.

[u/iLeoLion]

Best things I wanna see are trees and grass 😁. Smooth DLSS grass with wind

[u/HenryPDT]

Getting ready for another playthrough with the DLC

[u/safetycock]

Interested in checking out this new Ray Reconstruction technology at some point in the near future

[u/CooledCup]

Ray tracing looks so good! excited to see my rays get traced

[u/harry100110000]

Looking forward for Starfield DLSS

[u/kienasx]

So excited to enjoy this games potential

[u/imxslicer]

I am excited for the reworked skill tree and DLSS 3.5

[u/Adexus]

Most excited about being able to use path tracing and ray reconstruction with DLSS3.5 frame gen so it's at a really good frame rate, it's pure magic the way that works!

[u/Hurtrocker]

Huge DF fan and would love to play the game and experience this graphical technology for myself

[u/mrbigsmallmanthing]

Excited to play the game again with a fresh playthrough.

[u/bmfalex]

Cyberpunk is an amazing game, just started a new playthrough and I'm having a blast.

I don't have a 30/40 series cards so I wouldn't know about the new tech, but it sounds awesome from what I read here, the frame gen sounds amazing. The future is now... if you have the mullah :D

[u/g4mb1ers]

I'm just excited to see how awesome CP2077 looks with SR and RR combined!

[u/boiledblood]

I’m most excited to seeing the city streets at night when it’s raining in maxed out settings.

[u/DuckedUpOnQuack]

never tried dlss so excited for that

[u/Artofhopeee]

Definitely the path tracing!

[u/pared3s]

As others have said the Ray reconstruction for improved visuals. Always exciting to see cutting edge graphics and a 4080 will no doubt deliver.

[u/chupippomink]

I can't wait to build a new computer and try this out, among other games. 1800x and 1080 TI showing their age.

[u/On1m]

I'm excited for the higher graphical fidelity at high framerate.

[u/Nettwerk911]

I want to try DLSS

[u/ZuelaBR]

I'm excited to play Cyberpunk with settings and RT maxed out of the wazoo

[u/Ateious]

I'm excited to see the comparison between the currently used "hand-crafted denoising methods" and the performance of Ray Reconstruction in DLSS 3.5 in the character models and cars!

[u/aHolyLight]

CP2077 is the most amazing looking game I own. I’d love to be able to turn on RTX Overdrive when 2.0 comes out. And I’m looking forward to both 2.0 and Phantom Liberty equally since the system changes will make this game I’ll be playing for years to come

[u/TopAcadia8847]

Would love to get the 4080, so i can give it to my partner so she Can be amazed of all the fancy ray tracing, or she can take full advantage of DLSS 3.5. And that we can start to play together😌

[u/bcatc]

I never had a good graphics card for gaming, only ever got to medium settings so I don’t know what Ray tracing looks like. I’d love to complete this game in 4K.

[u/prizef]

I'm most excited about using ray tracing without sacrificing FPS.

[u/insaneboricua1]

Looking forward to revamped skill trees and better performance!

[u/Rickstamatic]

Just being able to play the game and have it look great!

[u/jimrei]

Excited about the rework of the game!

[u/adoltindnd]

Im excited to jump back in and finish my first playthrough of CP2077 and then go straight through to the DLC!!

[u/LICKS_CAT_BUTTS]

Frame generation.

[u/uSuperDick]

Does dlss 3.5 look better overall than 3.1 for example? Or is it just better RT image?
