Enjoying my replay of Cyberpunk 2077. All modded out and having a great time.

Trying out my giant truck:

And in much nicer weather that really showcases the helmet mod:

Currently getting about 60fps average at 3440x1440 with everything maxed out except RT which is at Ultra not Psycho, oh and DLSS is set to auto (hmm thought I had that at quality). I'm curious to see what I get with the fully path traced comes on the 11th. But I doubt it will be something I can run properly even with the 3090 as I'm guessing it will need DLSS 3 to get playable framerates.

Update: Just did a super quick test. Just standing in place out at the Aldecaldos camp (some fan, wind and characters movement but not much)I changed the DLSS options.

Quality: 55fps
Balanced: 62fps
Performance: 70fpx
Ultra Performance: 88fps
And DLSS off: 33fps

So it looks like the auto setting (at least for me) is closest to balanced.

I know it has had it's complaints against it, but I still like it a lot and it is unique from other games. I'm still resisting the final mission. I want to finish the main story but I also want to finish more of the side stuff. There are some good stories in the side content.

I don't have any mods I don't think on CP2077. Any ones you think are must-haves for improving the base game? (I may have asked that before in the CP2077 thread lol)

still palying through me3 something I dont understand the Adrenilin amd is showing my average fps is 31 which I dont understand why my average woudl be so low I am running a 5600x and a 6800xt 32gb ram at I think 3600mhz was the setting Ihave it at . is there a cap in the game or something, Iwas searchign around and somepeople are claiming 120fps. but it actuallyu doesnt really matter becasue I dont notice while in game at all bt it does habe me wodnering

That does seem odd if the claimed FPS your finding is at the same resolution as you. Graphics settings matter of course too so you'd have to be sure you are comparing apples to apples. But me3 certainly isn't a new game so I wouldn't expect it to be terrible demanding on new hardware. I am checking FPS in Adrenaline for my 6800 XT and it seems accurate. Are your drivers relatively up to date?

As the baddies covered by the front sight post in the pics will attest to, it is way easier to use irons @3440x1440 with my newish Gigabyte M34WQ than the Dell P2314HT I was using before.
The recent improvements to night vision have also been pretty nice, and we get to look forward to big AI changes in the next major version.

Here is a better idea of what it looks like, this should be 60x60 pixels and hopefully the forum software will not mess with it. Unfortunately it was taken with Steam and I did not have it set to save uncompressed screenshots.

Wow Ground Branch! I never heard of it. I used to really like those early tactical shooters. I'll keep an eye on this one. I'd like to have a campaign so I may wait until they implement that, but it would be nice to have a tactical shooter with the attributes they describe on their site. Cool!

I really should do a post with all of my mods but these ones are some of the best that I really think it add to the experience.

1. Phone Messages Overhaul: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/4756
   • So many more text messages with everyone, feels much more real.
2. Real Vendor Names: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/4941
   • Gives the most of the vendors on the map proper names, really helpful if you are looking for a place.
3. Better Fast Travel Map: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/5937
   • Makes the fast travel map just like the normal map with filters and such, way more useful.
4. Simple Untrack Quest: https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/5177
   • Just allows you to unfollow/track a quest. Great so that it is not always that point of no return quest.

I have many more mods and a certainly a few more that I do consider must haves but I will have to do a proper list in the Cyberpunk thread. Also we are now getting full on custom quests, nothing super involved but still very cool.

I'll replay Cyberpunk when Phantom Liberty is released.
Playing Metro Exodus Enhanced. Been sitting in my library forever. Visually spectacular and a really great game. 4k everything ultra including ray tracing, stays pinned at 120fps.

I think that they are I dont notice it asking for updates but I am going to recheck.
I always get a little said and the end of the game and the choices one has to make I have played though a few times before and always did a back up save , I think I may do the same thing again with each and all the choices, not sure why I do this maybe I am hopign that the me4 will use the game save but that is extremely unlikely.
maybe I do this as my trophys like people that have a wall of story books they have read like trophies on the wall they can look at and relive in there mind

Starting God of War. Don't like how few options there are. No true fullscreen. Very few graphical settings can be changed. At least it does have DLSS/FSR. It has to have like 1/10th the graphics customizations available as RDR2. But it does run good so far. 3080 can do it mostly maxed @ 4K 120FPS.

EDIT: Game is HARD. I'm not even playing on hardest difficulty. But first boss is just owning me.

God of War is a lot of fun. I've encountered a single bug in the 10 or so hours I've been playing, and it was minor. There isn't a ton of dialogue but it is good. There is a ton of combat and they are all rather hard fights. Visuals are superb. After the 2nd boss I had a s**t eating grin on my face as it was so well done.

10/10 so far.

Starting to become a Sony fanboy.

'Burning Shores' DLC came out for Horizon Forbidden West but only for PS5 as the PS4 can't handle the graphics. So it all takes place in a separate area of California (Hollywood) compared to the the mainstory of HFW. But you can quick travel between. The graphics are indeed great, gameplay smooth. New weapons, clothing, machines to fight, new story-line that works well with the existing one. The game does a lot of platforming and they do something I've never seen in a game. Until now, all the climbing holds were built into the game. In this one, you use a ballista to create new holds where ever you need them; while that's part of one section of the main plot, I found an area I couldn't access normally with a nearby ballista available to create the means to climb.

(While the main story covers central & western USA, I wonder if they chose Hollywood since the gaming industry is much larger than the movie industry?)

Hollywood sign...

Hopefully one day there will be a way to properly take HDR screenshots. But until then will have to use pics.

But pic doesn't do the game justice. It looks incredible maxed out @ 4K on the OLED. Never drops below 120FPS.

This dood is HARD. I've tried like 20x so far.



EDIT: Seems the 21st was the time I did it.

I tried to play this demo

Demonologist on Steam

Demonologist is a Co-Op horror game that can be played with at least 1 and up to 4 players. Your goal is to identify the type of evil spirit in cursed places and exorcise it using your equipment, either alone or with your team.

but I couldnt figure it out

Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West (PS5)

The final boss battle is a bit much; the longest I recall playing in a game. Up to that point on normal I had only died once. Starts on the ground while the Horus is stationary & you disable the cooling. Then it goes mobile & fighting it on the shore, then chasing it underwater & going inside to fight the person controlling it... Died a lot just trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing & experiencing some glitches in the shore battle. Starting over from the start, cured the glitches.

It's a big machine. But you have some aerial help.

This is what it looks like in a fly over once you defeat it. Sort of looks like a Mass Effect Reaper from some angles with more legs and tentacles.
