| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Cyberpunk 2077 v 2.0 supported Windows10/11.
Priority and main graphics API for Cyberpunk 2077 v 2.0 is DX11/12.
| Patch v 2.0 |
With the new Cyberpunk 2.0 update, many aspects of the game have been revised and improved. Skill trees and perks now offer deeper and more varied character development. These changes will allow players to better adapt to their playstyle and strategy, making each experience unique.
Updated cybernetic support and a new capacity system expand the possibilities of character customization and improvement. With the new Cyber Upgrade system, players can now "overload" their Augments, increasing their effectiveness, but at the risk of experiencing side effects.
As for vehicles, the game now provides the opportunity not only to ride cars and motorcycles, but also to interact with them while driving. For example, V can shoot from a window or control a built-in turret. In addition, players will find new car chases in the open world, which adds more dynamics.
In the combat section, the game becomes less predictable. Previously, enemies acted according to a simple and monotonous pattern, but now their artificial intelligence has been improved. They became smarter, using cover and using new melee skills.
Finally, changes to the loot and crafting system make the process of collecting and creating items more interesting and varied. Players can find new types of weapons, clothing and other items, as well as use updated mechanics to create unique equipment.
In addition to the already listed improvements in Update 2.0, it is important to note the improvements in the graphical part of the game. Path tracing mode, which previously required significant resources and computer power, has now been significantly increased in performance. This allows players with weaker hardware to enjoy high quality graphics without losing FPS, making the gameplay much smoother.
Comparing with release version 1.03, Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way. Version 1.03, despite its ambition, faced many problems: bugs, performance problems, graphical errors and lack of certain functionality. Players encountered gameplay interruptions, unexpected crashes, and other problems.
Since release, the developers have put a lot of effort into fixing these issues. Update 2.0 was the culmination of these efforts, introducing not only bug fixes, but also many new features and improvements that make the game much deeper, more interesting and more stable. Today Cyberpunk 2077 is a much more polished and streamlined product than the original release.

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes 1920x1080, 2560x1440 и 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings. Version 1.03, unfortunately, does not support ray tracing on AMD video cards.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

| RAM TEST |
The test was carried out on the basic configuration of Core i 9 13900K with 32 GB DDR5 6400 MHz pre-installed memory. All used RAM was taken as an indicator. The RAM test on the entire system was carried out on various video cards without launching third-party applications (browsers, etc.). In the graphics, you can add and remove any resolutions and video cards as desired.
