With the game receiving constant updates, I thought it would be helpful to create a guide covering its current state, including any new settings or optimizations! I still get views on my old video and wanted to help people with a new, updated one. This is all new footage and all new comparisons! Get the most out of your game in late Holiday 2025 and 2026 by understanding what all the new settings do after years of updates! If you are looking for a higher frame rate, hopefully this guide will explain which settings to stay away from! I am recording everything in 4K with the lowest settings as a control, turning each setting on one by one to avoid any interference with other settings. These videos take a large chunk of my time so please let me know if you enjoyed it! Are you struggling to find the perfect settings for Cyberpunk 2077? Do you want to just set and forget? Look no further! My ultimate settings guide provides a breakdown of each setting in the game's menu, complete with a video clip and a graph of the more demanding settings to help you visualize the impact of each option. No matter if you just want to see how the settings change in real time, or if you want to optimize your game to get the best visuals or frame rate, this video has you covered! Every setting in the graphic menu is explained with clip to let you know if you can skip it or not! PC Specs: -Mainboard: ASUS Crosshair X870E -CPU: AMD 9800X3D -CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken z73 -RAM: G.
