Sure, Cyberpunk 2077 is already in HD—it goes well beyond HD for anybody taking part in in 2K or 4K, even—however when you ever stopped to take a look at the sport’s floor textures and partitions, you might have seen they’re not as sharp as a few of the extra attention-grabbing components 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 dust as they might the character’s condominium or automobile. However when a sure kind of recreation reaches a sure stage of recognition, there are folks on the market who need to see what that appears like, value be damned.
You won’t bear in mind, however again in 2020 I wrote a couple of Witcher 3 undertaking undertaken by HalkHogan, a modder who needed to present 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 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 Undertaking is now underway and posting a video showcasing a few of his work.
When you’d count on that including one thing like this to the sport would include a efficiency hit, HalkHogan says that as long as you’ve got sufficient spare VRAM, you received’t discover and slowdown in any respect. And when you do, he’s releasing two variations of the mod:
On the whole, the modification doesn’t hit efficiency in any approach when you 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’s going to, you may at all times simply uninstall the mod).
There are two variations of the modification, tailored to what the graphics card you’ve got.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Undertaking Extremely High quality: comprises the best high quality textures and offers the most effective visible expertise. Extremely advisable for 2K/4K shows. Sport can use as much as max 800MB extra VRAM so most trendy graphics playing cards ought to simple take care of it.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Undertaking Balanced: maintains excessive textures high quality with decrease VRAM utilization. Advisable for graphics playing cards with much less quantity of reminiscence. Sport can burn up solely about 400MB extra VRAM so mainly 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.
