WCCFTech drops a long benchmark article about the new 2077 RT Overdrive patch that dropped today. To sum it up, unless you have a 4000 series card with DLSS 3 enabled your frames will be suffering... hard. This is mostly a future technology that looks amazing but not viable for most gamers currently. Here is a snip;


Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive Mode PC Requirements
As per CD Projekt Red, the NVIDIA RT Overdrive Mode for Cyberpunk 2077 is only supported by the following graphics cards:

• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series (RTX 4090/4080/4070 Ti)
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 Series (RTX 3090Ti/3090 Only at 1080P/30FPS)

If you don't have any of the said GPUs, the feature will be turned off by default as it requires a very high-end GPU due to its demanding nature. CD Projekt Red has also stated previously that the RT Overdrive mode is going to be hardware-agnostic which means that it won't require proprietary technology to run and gamers will be able to enjoy it on any graphics card out there, given that it has the processing and compute prowess to run Path Tracing at a stable frame rate.



But it looks like the rest of the cards with at least 8 GB VRAM will only have the option to take screenshots with the path tracing renderer rather than playing the game in real time. The rationale given for this move is that it means rendering just one frame, as opposed to rendering several frames every second (i.e. FPS), which would happen when playing the game. The path weighs in at 19.6 GB for PC players.
