Sure, Cyberpunk 2077 is already in HD—it goes well past HD for anybody enjoying in 2K or 4K, even—however when you ever stopped to have a look at the sport’s floor textures and partitions, you will have seen 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 filth as they’d the character’s house or automobile. However when a sure sort of sport reaches a sure stage of recognition, there are folks on the market who wish 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 undertaking 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 have been vastly extra detailed. That mod proved so good, and so profitable, that builders CD Projekt Purple included it of their current 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 might have sufficient spare VRAM, you gained’t discover and slowdown by any means. And when you do, he’s releasing two variations of the mod:
Generally, the modification doesn’t hit efficiency in any manner you probably 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 would, you possibly can at all times simply uninstall the mod).
There are two variations of the modification, tailored to what the graphics card you might have.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Mission Extremely High quality: comprises the best high quality textures and provides one of the best visible expertise. Extremely advisable for 2K/4K shows. Recreation can use as much as max 800MB extra VRAM so most trendy 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 deplete solely about 400MB extra VRAM so principally 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 undertaking is accessible now on Nexus Mods.
