CD Projekt said that hard drives will continue to operate (and, in general, Cyberpunk 2077 will continue to run on the older minimum hardware) but active support for them will be ended
Title sounds a bit alarmist but it’s not like they are actively preventing people from using their HDD lol
I needed clarifying on the “hard drives” part, I was like what does that mean!?? Am I going to need to run this thing on a USB? I mean it makes sense, HDD’s, but the choice of wording here has me chuckling a bit.
but not especially well
I mean, it never ran especially well on minimum specs. But honestly, this is good. I’ve always thought they had pressure to release it for systems that they knew could not really handle it.
I’m very surprised about the processor requirements. For no Ray Tracing, the high preset asks for Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 7800X, and Core i9-12900 or Ryzen 9 7900X for ultra.
I thought most games aren’t so heavily reliant on the number of cores and threads?
The code for this game is pretty clearly still an absolute mess. The fact we are seeing an AM5 processor call-out on technical specs at this point in their lifespan , isn’t reassuring. I’m starting to wonder if my 4070ti 5800x3D machine is going to even have a very long life before I have to start turning settings down. At today’s prices, that’s going to crush the PC gaming market for good, so I hope these guys and gals all take this sort of stuff into account. But they don’t, instant profit, fuck everything else.
That’s right, Cyberpunk 2077 was released for PC on Dec 2020. And yet for recommended settings and above, it’s now requiring AMD processors released from Sep 2022, and Intel processors released from Q4 2021. These processors are all on the higher end too. This is a huge jump.
Alex from DF said CP2077 utilizes the CPU much better the jedi fallen order in his analysis.
The game seems pretty scalable to me
