Night City just got a whole lot sharper. Cyberpunk 2077's latest update, patch 2.21, is now live and brings with it a significant leap in image quality: NVIDIA DLSS 4 support. This update, leveraging a new Transformer model, promises enhanced visual fidelity for gamers across the board. Let's dive into the details.
DLSS 4: A Visual Revolution
The highlight of this patch is undoubtedly the introduction of NVIDIA DLSS 4, including Multi Frame Generation support for future RTX 50 series GPUs. The patch allows users to toggle between the older CNN model and the new Transformer model for DLSS Super Resolution, DLAA, and Ray Reconstruction on any RTX card. This means that regardless of your specific NVIDIA graphics card, you now have access to DLSS 4.
What's so exciting about this new Transformer model? Well, it’s delivering substantial improvements to image quality, significantly reducing ghosting and boosting overall clarity, especially in motion. Distant objects also receive a notable anti-aliasing upgrade.
Beyond Graphics: Other Enhancements
Patch 2.21 isn't just about graphics; it also includes other additions and enhancements:
- New Photo Mode features for capturing those perfect Night City moments.
- Fixes to vehicle color customization.
- Randomizer settings in Character Creation for more diverse player characters.
- Various general bug fixes.
Performance Impact
While the improved visuals come with a minor performance cost, the overall image quality benefit makes this worthwhile. The increase in detail and the reduction in ghosting are a massive step up from DLSS 3.8. For many, that slight decrease in FPS is a small price to pay for the jump in overall image clarity.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One.
