Cyberpunk 2077: Update submits DLSS 3 and Nvidia Reflex on the PC

Once propagated as a flagship for Nvidia DLSS 3, an update is now finally enough DLSS Frame Generation and Nvidia Reflex (test) for the dystopian action role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077 (test) from the Polish development studio CD Projekt repeat. According to manufacturer benchmarks, more than four times more FPS should be achieved.

After the game developer released patch 1.61 in November last year and thus implemented AMD FSR 2.1 in the open world of the role-playing game for the first time, it is now the turn of Nvidia DLSS 3 with DLSS frame generation and Nvidia Reflex, which is intended to counteract the latencies. The fact that only the PC version is considered with the “DLSS 3 update” is due to the AMD hardware of the current game consoles.

The fact that CD Projekt Red and Nvidia took so much time to implement DLSS 3 with the patch caused astonishment in many places. Nvidia had previously chosen the title as one of its flagship products for DLSS Frame Generation.

While Nvidia DLSS 3 and DLSS Frame Generation can be used directly with a GeForce RTX 4000 under Windows 11 after installing the patch, the user still has to carry out minor interventions under Windows 10. With the older OS, the hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling still has to be activated manually.

DLSS 3 under Windows 11 and Windows 10

The DLSS Frame Generation requires a GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics card and Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling being enabled in operating system.

In Windows 11 this option is turned on by default.

Enabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling in Windows 10:

  • Press Windows key on your keyboard and type "graphics" and press enter. – Graphics settings menu should open.
  • In the Graphics settings menu toggle the "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" option.
  • Restart your PC.

NOTE: It is recommended to enable upscaling (DLSS) on graphics cards with 16GB or less of VRAM and 1440p or higher resolution.

However, the version number 1.61 does not change with the patch. For more information, see the Cyberpunk 2077 official FAQ and the DLSS-3 patch announcement.
