CD PROJEKT RED first revealed the Cyberpunk 2077 path tracing mod at GDC in April, and if you combine it with several other mods, like superpopulation, supercharged visuals ensue. Modder Digital Dreams ran this demo on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950XX processor, NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU, Kingston Fury 6000MHz RAM, and a 2TB Crucial MX500 SSD.
Path tracing has been utilized as one of the main lighting algorithms used in offline rendering farms and computer graphics in films for years, but GeForce RTX 40 series, along with DLSS 3, made it possible to this technology to real-time graphics. Cyberpunk 2077 also makes use of Shader Execution Reordering, which optimizes GPU workloads, enabling more efficient path-traced lighting. Download the mods here.
