Cyberpunk 2077 DLSS 3 RTX 4090 Performance 4K Ultra Preset

In this video we compare Cyberpunk 2077 DLSS 3 with frame generation enabled and with it disabled, within the same area using Ray Tracing Ultra settings, 4K and Ultra pre-set graphics. DLSS is set to AUTO. You will see a boost of double the FPS or more in some instances. Reaching a respectable 120 fps for the most part with the RTX 4090 at the helm.

Official Blurb:

Cyberpunk 2077 gets better with every patch, and today’s patch adds NVIDIA DLSS 3, the next revolution in neural graphics. The DLSS 3 performance uplift enables GeForce Gamers to experience Cyberpunk 2077 with every setting and ray-traced option maxed out for the best image quality, and performance is great.
 
With realistic shadows and lighting and the added performance of NVIDIA DLSS 3 no other platform will compare to the Cyberpunk 2077 experience on a GeForce RTX-powered PC. 
Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as the benchmark game for a new generation of gamers who are asking the question ‘But can it run Cyberpunk’. Cyberpunk 2077 should be included in any benchmark suite used to test GPUs and tested to deliver the best experience – every setting and ray-traced option maxed out and DLSS 3 enabled.
 
DLSS Is Always Learning, New Improvements in Cyberpunk 2077
The new patch delivers improvements including AI network enhancements for DLSS Frame Generation that better take advantage of game engine data, improving UI stability and image quality during fast movement.
 
Cyberpunk 2077 Sets a New Standard
Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that has defined next-generation gaming graphics through its use of DirectX Ray Tracing, a lighting technique that emulates the way light reflects and refracts in the real world, providing a more believable environment than what’s typically seen using static lighting in more traditional games. 
 
The game uses several ray tracing techniques to render a massive future city at incredible levels of detail and gives gamers a peek into the future of PC gaming. The current version of the game uses ray-traced shadows, reflections, diffuse illumination, and ambient occlusion. If you turn on ‘Psycho mode’ in the ray traced lighting settings, you will even see ray traced global illumination as sunlight bounces realistically around the scene.
 
The result is a visually stunning gaming experience in a believable dystopian futuristic setting. Sprawling cityscapes that use subtle shadows to define depth. Windows, mirrors and puddles with accurate reflections. Night City districts that are bathed in neon lights –  an effect critical to the game’s cyberpunk aesthetic.
 
With the latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 and a GeForce 40 Series GPU, gamers get a glimpse of PC gaming’s AI-powered future today. 
 
DLSS 3 Sets the Stage for Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode!
The addition of DLSS 3 sets the stage for the pending Cyberpunk 2077 ‘Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode’, an upcoming update that will take the game’s ray tracing to new heights and greatly enhance the game’s already-incredible visuals. 
 
‘Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode’ will cement Cyberpunk 2077 as the new ‘But can it play’ game for years to come. And DLSS 3 will be the key feature that gives GeForce 40 Series gamers the ability to answer, ‘yes’ when asked ‘But can it run Cyberpunk?’.
