A Cyberpunk 2077 optimization mod has arrived which massively improves the performance of the game on mid-range hardware. The new Cyberpunk 2077 mod has made its way on Nexus mods which promises to massively improve performance for mid-range systems powered by somewhat dated hardware.
The mod is named ‘Heavily Customized Optimization mod’ and it is a modified version of the older General Optimization mod that lowers rendering distance considerably, reducing the workload for the CPU. Additional tweaks have also been made to ensure the game runs better than it does in its original state.
On the Nexus mod page, this mod has been described as follows.
This is a modified version of General Optimization that greatly lowers rendering distance, how much is being rendered to the game to substantially lower the load on older CPUs’ along with other tweaks to give you the best fps.
From (1080p) 21.156 FPS avg (16 fps Min, 36 fps Max) to 50.07 FPS avg (38 fps Min, 70 fps Max) on Ultra, 1600 x 900”
To apply this mod, follow these steps.
Go onto the desktop, right-click > NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D settings > switch from Global Settings to Program Settings (use Global if you want other games to adopt the tweaked settings) and under “1. Select a program to customize:”, find cyberpunk2077.exe and redlauncher.exe, if it’s not there, click “Add” and click browse if the game doesn’t appear under the “Add” pop-up window.
Recommended settings on this mod are listed below.
- Set “Antialiasing – Mode” to “Enhance the application setting”
- “Antialiasing – Setting” to “4x”
- “Antialiasing – Transparency” to “Multisample”
- “CUDA – GPUs” to “Use these GPUs” to your dedicated graphics card (reason being some games use integrated graphics if available instead of dedicated to run which makes the game lag)
- “Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA)” to “On”
- “Shader Cache” to “On”
- “Texture flitering – Anisotropic sample optimization” to “On”
- “Texture flitering – Negative LOD bias” to “Allow”
- “Texture flitering – Quality” to “High performance”
- “Texture flitering – Trilinear optimization” to “On”
- “Threaded optimization” to “On”
