> the current 3080 can already do 4k @ 60FPS HDR on every AAA title I've thrown at it

Have you tried CyberPunk 2077?

Have you tried 2 chrome windows at the same time? ;-)

I have- I upgraded to a 3080 Ti (from a 2080 Ti). 4k @ 60FPS with pretty much every whizz-bang feature turned on. 60fps during the benchmark.

So whats your DLSS settings? With a 3080 I don't get anywhere close to 60 FPS at 2k.

I finally got a chance to check. DLSS is set to "auto". General settings are: Ray Tracing Ultra, Texture Quality High, all advanced settings set to "high", ray tracing is set to "Ultra" not "Psycho".

Looks like I was wrong- the benchmark shows average FPS of 30, not 60. When I change DLSS to "Ultra Performance", then the FPS is 59.29 (I assume vsync) and I didn't see any visual differences in the benchmark. With DLSS at "Quality", average FPS is 27, with drops as low as 9, and obvious visual frame skips.

At the very least, seems like I should force DLSS to Ultra Performance, so I bring the average FPS during complex scenes up.

I set DLSS to Quality and was able to max out the game at 1440p on my 3080. There are still dips below 60 but VRR smooths that over just fine.

I don't enable DLSS IIRC.

Yet you're claiming better frame rates than a 3090

The 3080 Ti and 3090 have the same framerate on that page. I updated with a comment to show the FPS at various settings- only see 60FPS with DLSS set to Ultra Performance (all the other settings are maxxed).

So only 60fps when rendering at 720p then using AI to upscale to 4k. Definitely nowhere near 4k60.

CP2077 seems to be the modern Crysis.

I went back to run some more benchmarks and it turns out with DLSS totally disabled, 4K is unplayable (3-6FPS). Didn't realize DLSS was contributing so much. Simply disabling raytracing at that point (so, DLSS disabled, 4K, everything else set to max but RT disabled) gets me back to 50-60FPS. So basically DLSS is compensating for RT. But disabling RT doesn't really seem to make a big difference- it still looks pretty damn nice. hard to tell.

Yeah RT is a killer in CP2077, CDPR did a bang up job with the raster graphics. With everything jacked I mostly noticed the RT in the puddles/water reflections vs. the screen space reflections but not enough to enable it. I'm sure it does other stuff lighting wise but I didn't notice it personally.

Do you have raytracing on?

Yes.

Op claimed to get 60 FPS at 4K with "pretty much" everything at max - I hope that wasn't implying "everything but raytracing". I got the card for raytracing, without raytracing even my 5 year old card worked ok and looked good enough.

Fair enough, then I concur with your assessment.

2k is 1080p.

How about in the actual game? I have a 3090 at 1440p and swing 60 a lot at maxed everything and with dlss at quality, but more often than not it sits in the 45-50 range, that said I suspect I may be CPU bottlenecked atm.

No, but not for lack of interest. I simply upgraded from 2k res + 2080 Super to 4k res + 3080 at one point in the last year or so, but I had already beat the game by then and haven't returned to it.
