Sure, Cyberpunk 2077 is already in HD—it goes well past HD for anybody taking part in in 2K or 4K, even—however in case you ever stopped to take a look at the sport’s floor textures and partitions, you will have observed they’re not as sharp as a few 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 grime as they’d the character’s residence or automobile. However when a sure kind of recreation reaches a sure degree of recognition, there are individuals on the market who wish to see what that appears like, value be damned.
You may not bear in mind, however again in 2020 I wrote a couple of Witcher 3 venture 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 have been vastly extra detailed. That mod proved so good, and so profitable, that builders CD Projekt Pink included it of their latest 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.
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 could have sufficient spare VRAM, you gained’t discover and slowdown by any means. And in case you do, he’s releasing two variations of the mod:
Generally, the modification doesn’t hit efficiency in any method when you’ve got sufficient quantity of VRAM (video card reminiscence). Even in case you run out of reminiscence a bit, it shouldn’t be an issue (and if it’s going to, you possibly can at all times simply uninstall the mod).
There are two variations of the modification, tailored to what the graphics card you could have.
Cyberpunk 2077 HD Reworked Mission Extremely High quality: accommodates the very best high quality textures and provides the perfect visible expertise. Extremely really useful for 2K/4K shows. Recreation 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 Mission Balanced: maintains excessive textures high quality with decrease VRAM utilization. Really helpful for graphics playing cards with much less quantity of reminiscence. Recreation can burn up solely about 400MB extra VRAM so principally everybody who can comfortably play the sport can use this with out experiencing any important efficiency drops whereas having noticeably higher textures.
Model 1.0 of the venture is obtainable now on Nexus Mods.
