Cyberpunk 2077 Confirmed to Have Raytracing Support on PC

Cd Projekt Red have confirmed that they-ve entered a development partnership with NVIDIA once again for their upcoming Cyberpunk 2077. Like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt before it, which incorporated NVIDAI exclusive features such as Hairworks animations for monsters, Cyberpunk 2077 will feature a (for now) NVIDIA-exclusive technology in the form of RTX. This is a much more immersive and game changing technology for graphics than Gameworks ever provided, and if you want the ultimate version of Cyberpunk 2077, you'll likely have to be playing in on the PC platform with NVIDIA hardware. 4K screenshots featuring the raytracing implementation have been seeded, so take care to look for those after the break.
According to CD Projekt Red's Adam Badowski, integration of NVIDIA's raytracing technology via hardware acceleration will allow them to achieve "realistic representation of the behavior of light in a condensed urban environment", which will allow for "additional levels of depth and verticality to the already impressive megacity". CD Projekt Red pushed the envelope in graphics technologies with their Witcher 3, and now, Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be willing to pull the same mean feat.

Divide OverflowI'm disappointed with custom, proprietary feature support that favor one company while excluding another.
And by that you mean DXR which only limits RTRT to Windows and Xbox as opposed to Vulkan which works on several other platforms?

When Quake launched, it had this 3D thing in it that would run on select few cards, what a flop that was :wtf:

lexluthermiesterNo. That's not what I meant. And I'ma shut up now as anything I say from here is bound to offend one person or another.
Oh, you wouldn't offend me. Still, I honestly don't know the context you meant, there's equal possibility, you could mean it's wrong as in the game's depiction, or wrong as in doing that in real life, or wrong as the prediction for 2077 being wrong, ... many contexts. It's too vague, so I think everyone interprets it on it's own which isn't optimal, confuses everyone.

Separately, to those who were surprised by this picture and are criticising on the internet is weird because similar things are done in GTA for years and I've never seen anyone getting that upset over all the stuff in GTA. I guess people must be living in that so it's normal for them.

Few? There was only 1 card capable of running it on a very nice proprietary API: GLide (QuakeGL). 3dFX's VooDoo, and later VooDoo2. The Direct3D implementation came years later if I remember correctly. And it wasn't a flop at all. Was actually one of the best things ever happened to to Gaming industry, forcing other companies to develop 3D hardware solutions for gaming not just 3dFX.

seeing people getting offended at that poster in CP2077, a fictional city with fictional setting, is just getting triggered way too easy. What a bunch of politically-correct, SJW-ridden, keyboard warrior snowflakes. In CP2077 fictional universe, body mods are considered a norm. Anybody can be whatever they want to be. Why that poster being completely normal in that universe deemed as "controversial" in this universe when we're 60-something years too early to say that physical-level transformation is "illegal", "controversial" etc.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to the game & not bother the laments from those weird folks.

I can only presume that was aimed at me. Let's just agree to disagree on some points and agree that this is shaping up to be one seriously bad-ass game.

@lexluthermiester definitely not at you. I would have said it specifically but I won't do that. Either way, I doubt this would stop the game from being a badass title that CDPR put all their time into it.

We need another Deus Ex too. But with bigger world and atmosphere.
