Cyberpunk 2077 announces its patch 1.5 with some very important new features. The game’s developers have confirmed that the game will get support for AMD FSR, which will also be natively compatible with Steam Deck.
Cyberpunk 2077 supports AMD FSR technology
CDProjekt’s game announced the new console versions with great fanfare, but there was also news for the PC platform, with the arrival of FSR, AMD’s Nvidia-like rescaling technology.
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution would “replace” the current Contrast Adaptive Sharpening that was included in the game. It’s strange, but this technology won’t be available on consoles, even if they use the RDNA2 graphics architecture.
The game will improve performance benchmarks, as they have now added an integrated benchmark.
With the latest Steam Deck update, AMD has added FSR support to the SteamOS operating system. This means the technology is built into the system itself, so we can enable FSR in games that don’t support it at all. However, for games that do support it, the option must be enabled in the game itself, otherwise, the UI of those games will be rescaled as well.
The technology will help the Steam Deck perform better, albeit at the cost of lower image quality.
Valve’s handheld console is intended to play games at 720p (800p), a low resolution for FidelityFX Super Resolution to be effective, but we’ll see that later when Steam Deck is released.
Finally, CDProjeckt also confirmed that this June the game will no longer be compatible with the Windows 7 operating system since DirectX 12 has technical limitations on that system.
Officially, the game discontinues support for Nvidia 700 series graphics cards. Due to graphics drivers no longer supporting the series, it has been decided to change the minimum system requirements for Nvidia graphics cards to GTX 970.
Additionally, due to technical limitations of non-native Direct X 12 on Windows 7, and the limitation or end of graphics driver support, the game will no longer support Windows 7 after June 15, 2022. If you continue to update after If you continue to update the game after that date, the game may stop working on this operating system.
