Sure, Cyberpunk 2077 is already in HD—it goes well beyond HD for anybody enjoying in 2K or 4K, even—however when you ever stopped to take a look at the sport’s floor textures and partitions, you might have seen they’re not as sharp as a few of the extra attention-grabbing components of the world.
That’s to be anticipated, in fact, no developer of their proper thoughts would spend as a lot time on a patch of dust as they’d the character’s residence or automotive. However when a sure kind of recreation reaches a sure degree of recognition, there are folks on the market who wish to see what that appears like, value be damned.
You may not bear in mind, however again in 2020 I wrote a couple of Witcher 3 venture undertaken by HalkHogan, a modder who wished to provide Geralt’s world a makeover, changing the sport’s default surroundings textures with new ones that had been vastly extra detailed. That mod proved so good, and so profitable, that builders CD Projekt Purple included it of their latest next-gen re-release of The Witcher 3.
Properly HalkHogan is now again with a lot the identical factor for CDPR’s follow-up, Cyberpunk 2077, saying that his HD Reworked Venture is now underway and posting a video showcasing a few of his work.
Whilst you’d anticipate that including one thing like this to the sport would include a efficiency hit, HalkHogan says that as long as you may have sufficient spare VRAM, you received’t discover and slowdown in any respect. And when you do, he’s releasing two variations of the mod:
Basically, the modification doesn’t hit efficiency in any approach when you have sufficient quantity of VRAM (video card reminiscence). Even when you run out of reminiscence a bit, it shouldn’t be an issue (and if it’s going to, you’ll be able to at all times simply uninstall the mod).
There are two variations of the modification, tailored to what the graphics card you may have.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Venture Extremely High quality: comprises the very best high quality textures and provides the most effective visible expertise. Extremely really helpful for 2K/4K shows. Sport can use as much as max 800MB extra VRAM so most fashionable graphics playing cards ought to straightforward cope with it.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Venture Balanced: maintains excessive textures high quality with decrease VRAM utilization. Advisable for graphics playing cards with much less quantity of reminiscence. Sport can deplete solely about 400MB extra VRAM so mainly everybody who can comfortably play the sport can use this with out experiencing any vital efficiency drops whereas having noticeably higher textures.
Model 1.0 of the venture is offered now on Nexus Mods.
