CD Projekt Red has now released the extensive patch 1.61 for its dystopian action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 (test), bringing AMD FSR 2.1 into play. Nvidia DLSS 3 for the new GeForce RTX 4090 (test) and upcoming models of the Nvidia Ada Lovelace generation is currently left out.
The announcement of the first addon, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, which will be available next year for PC, PlayStation 5 (test) and Xbox Series X & S (test) will be released, the Polish development studio CD Projekt Red is now letting the next patch follow and thus raising the action RGP to version 1.61. Despite the game being Nvidia's flagship title for DLSS 3 with more than four times the frames per second, the latest AI upsampling and DLSS frame generation are still missing from the RPG's settings.

A performance boost can be expected, especially on gaming consoles.
AMD FSR 2.1 precedes Nvidia DLSS 3
The fact that FSR 2.1 manages to do it before DLSS 3 in Cyberpunk 2077 is particularly surprising given the fact that Nvidia never tires of listing the title in benchmarks and, in cooperation with CD Projekt Red, has even offered a strictly limited GeForce RTX 4090 FE for a competition.
The patch 1.61 comes with the following optimizations and error corrections on the PC and the game consoles.
- Added AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 support for PC and next-gen gaming consoles.
- Fixed the issue with temporary FPS drops when exiting menus.
- Multiple cases Fixed an issue where V's breasts clipped through clothing after resizing them on a Ripperdoc were.
- NPCs now carry umbrellas of different colors and shapes.

Presets activate FSR and DLSS automatically
As the editors of ComputerBase in a first test of Cyberpunk 2077 v1.61, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.1 and DLSS 2, which Nvidia now calls DLSS Super Resolution, are automatically enabled depending on the preset.
While AMD FSR 2.1 is activated automatically with the Ultra preset and also activated on Nvidia's GeForce graphics cards, the system's automatic choice in such cases falls to DLSS 2 if the highest possible ray tracing preset is selected.
Why the game makes this selection automatically, abs finally be said.
