Sure, Cyberpunk 2077 is already in HD—it goes well past HD for anybody enjoying in 2K or 4K, even—however for those who ever stopped to take a look at the sport’s floor textures and partitions, you could have observed they’re not as sharp as a number of the extra attention-grabbing elements of the world.
That’s to be anticipated, after all, no developer of their proper thoughts would spend as a lot time on a patch of grime as they’d the character’s condominium or automotive. However when a sure kind of sport reaches a sure stage of recognition, there are individuals on the market who need to see what that appears like, value be damned.
You may not keep 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 atmosphere textures with new ones that had been vastly extra detailed. That mod proved so good, and so profitable, that builders CD Projekt Pink included it of their latest next-gen re-release of The Witcher 3.
Nicely HalkHogan is now again with a lot the identical factor for CDPR’s follow-up, Cyberpunk 2077, saying that his HD Reworked Mission 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 have got sufficient spare VRAM, you gained’t discover and slowdown in any respect. And for those who do, he’s releasing two variations of the mod:
Basically, the modification doesn’t hit efficiency in any approach when you’ve got sufficient quantity of VRAM (video card reminiscence). Even for those who run out of reminiscence a bit, it shouldn’t be an issue (and if it should, you possibly can all the time simply uninstall the mod).
There are two variations of the modification, tailored to what the graphics card you have got.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Mission Extremely High quality: incorporates the very best high quality textures and offers the most effective visible expertise. Extremely advisable for 2K/4K shows. Recreation can use as much as max 800MB extra VRAM so most fashionable graphics playing cards ought to straightforward take care of it.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Mission Balanced: maintains excessive textures high quality with decrease VRAM utilization. Advisable for graphics playing cards with much less quantity of reminiscence. Recreation can expend solely about 400MB extra VRAM so mainly everybody who can comfortably play the sport can use this with out experiencing any important efficiency drops whereas having noticeably higher textures.
Model 1.0 of the venture is accessible now on Nexus Mods.
