Only Nvidia "card" I have is a 2070 laptop. I doubt it will be playable lol.
Don’t worry alien i fully expect I’ll have this working with fsr4 within hours after it’s launched and sure at 1440p cause I don’t use a 4k monitor but plans for my living room qled tv via steam link for 4k and the best part it’ll most likely be as close if not better than the 5090 and these aren’t unrealistic at all in cyberpunk 2077 i can get 230fps at psycho mode full pathtracing to the max in 1440p that optiscaler mod with the added anti lag 2 and using fsr3 as a translator into fsr4 with fmf2 is mind bending and hot dam does it look and feel very drastically different to fsr3 night and day difference an extremely big jump in performance stability or frame gen working in such a way that when changing viewpoint the fps is not dropping like it does in fsr3 that 230fps is solid and thou performance looks alot better than fsr3 quality it’s that dam good 👍
 
Have you tried Portal RTX? I would imagine it would give you a good idea. It was totally unplayable on my 6700XT.
 
I’ve not had chance was busy last few days and i really was trying to work out my issues cause pc was off so long that getting it to update correctly was being a huge pain, they took a week to push out the feature update different issues around that and divers being broken at different times when it updated but totally fine now its fully upto date.

The key issue i had was old shader data from the 6800xt getting rid of that was annoying as even in safe mode it hadn’t ditched that to rebuild the shaders.

Got cyberpunk going very good now but idk why but I can’t get the benchmark to run but game runs amazing i even reinstalled the game 4 times so idk why but there game is good as was exodus that is like a solid 90 to 130 but that was without optiscaler.

So lots of testing needed but yeah ill see if i can get portal to run good point cause the 6800xt never stood a chance at that one.

Honestly it’s a great card alien really good now im not saying upgrade or upgrade all but i do feel worth it lose your lowest card shift them down your stack and put one of them 9070xt’s in and when i know cost of blocks etc but my card didn’t even go over 65c in cyberpunk maxed out idk if the vapour chamber on mine is in all but dam its a good card i think 3300+ clocks is very possible but im waiting a while.

Thou ill see if i can get portal rtx going fully later as it wont matter if it doesn’t have anything but dlss as optiscaler will just use its data and feed it all too the translation code.

Okay so an update on Portal RTX for you Alien, I did the normal optiscaler settings basically copy paste run bat 1 1 done.
Then got a little mod off mod db to implement settings on ultra that then gives FSR3 but obviously optiscaler translates.

Thou I should have tested before and after to know for certain on what it's doing, but there is only one way to do that so just did, portal being an older game you don't get all the modern menus etc. As far as I can see it plays and looks 100% fine zero issues and i'd even seen some weird videos with gun graphics artifacting but for me it was perfectly playable and looked no issues at all.

So max settings 1440p netted an average of 90fps so amd software wasn't logging so I had to do steam overlay fps, now idk why these issues are a things, but in amd app it states 16.7fps but in game via the steam overlay fps counter I'm getting 90fps on average so something is being done and like i say no issues actually very simple to implement.

Thou lets face it as nice as Portal is this was purely about Half life rtx and so were see how that turns out as it depends on in game options as to need of any mod or just wack in optiscaler.

but 90fps playable happy (y)
