Played for 3 hours yesterday on a 3070, 10700k, 32GB ram. Game runs and looks incredible on high/ultra settings. I haven’t gotten far into the story, but the beginning gets into the action very fast like Skyrim.

The animations and textures make npcs feel more alive than fallout. I made it to the first city area and it looks amazing. It looks like mirrors edge type city in space

textures

What about the textures? Like, higher texture resolution?

[–] Ado@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Higher res and more details in the textures. Faces don’t look like they’re one flat texture with the npcs skin tone, for example.

The look of npcs, items, roads, rocks, hills, etc. is way better than even F4/F76.

What resolution? I'm just a tier below with a 3060Ti + 10600k and a tech review has me worried my 1440p monitor is gonna be a problem.

I don't want another situation like downtown in Fallout 4 on my last rig where I'm trying to play a FPS with framerate dips all over the place.

1080p, I’ve been too scared to upgrade to a 1440p monitor on the current rig ):

I had those downtown F4 dips too, even at 1080. This game is far from that, it feels much more polished.

I can’t even play F76 to this day without super annoying frame dips

[–] Ashtear@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yeahhh, I found a great deal on this monitor but I was a dumbass and didn't know how bad the down-rez is when running 1080p on a 1440p monitor😅

Other than not being able to use raytracing in CP2077 it hasn't been a problem, but I'm think I'm going to start running into trouble from this point on. Oh well, I was thinking of getting another monitor for my workflow anyway...

Definitely get a decent 1440p monitor with high refresh rate and GSync and then you are set. If you get it used it probably won’t even be that expensive (that’s how I got mine around 2 years ago).

Monitors last a long time so it’s not something that you will just toss, and a 3070 with 1080p is such a waste imo
