I was going to say my 1440p monitor shows lots of details, then I checked the specs... yeah 2560x1440. I guess the other number makes a difference.

This is how out of touch I am on PC stuff these days. I used to be able to tell you the clock speed and throughput supported by my RAM and whether it was restricted by the motherboard and now I can't tell you for sure if the concepts I just stated even exist.

Similar situation here... I *finally* managed to snag a 3090 to upgrade my rig, and really looking forward to diving into Cyberpunk when it arrives.

CD Projekt released its third quarter consolidated financial results today, and there are two main points to take note of. One, The Witcher is still killing it: The company earned $28 million in revenues on the quarter, "mostly generated by sales of games from The Witcher universe," CFO Piotr Nielubowicz said. And two (and more important), Cyberpunk 2077 is still scheduled to arrive on December 10.

One of the biggest games of the generation is finally upon us, and it appears people already want to know about about what DLC it’s going to get. However, developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed more details about Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC will be revealed after the game launches on December 10.

CD Projekt Red’s president Adam Kiciński revealed this news in a third quarter earnings call (transcribed by Seeking Alpha) this week. Though originally scheduled to be revealed prior to the game’s launch, the most recent delay meant the developers decided to hold onto the information until later on. “The initial plan was to do before release, but after the recent delay, we decided to wait for the release to provide gamers with the game and then start talking about future projects,” says Kiciński. “So, after release.”

The developers also touched on Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer mode coming in 2022 in the earnings call. “We’ll share our thoughts about next year once we will update our strategy, “ says Kiciński. “It will happen in Q1 next year, and that will be after releasing Cyberpunk and that will be the right moment to discuss deeper or all key aspects around future releases.”

The only thing we know about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 DLC is that we should expect more content than The Witcher 3 received. In total, The Witcher 3 ended up with two full expansions and 16 free content packs. Sounds like we can expect to be in Night City for quite some time, even after finishing the game.

After three delays, it’s easy to see why some people were concerned the game may not meet the December release date. Fortunately, CD Projekt Red’s Q3 2020 earnings report revealed Cyberpunk 2077 will not be delayed for a fourth time, with the devs reiterating the game will be launching in December.

There’s not much time left before Cyberpunk 2077 launches, so we’d recommend checking out our Cyberpunk 2077 character customisation guide to see what kind of character you can make. You can’t make a character without thinking about their clothes, but don’t worry, our Cyberpunk 2077 gear guide can help you out with that.

CD Projekt Red has confirmed the Cyberpunk 2077 PC release time. Even if you’re sceptical about the game actually launching on December 10, the fact that the devs have now committed to precise launch timing should help ease those fears. Plus, the studio has confirmed that you will be able to pre-load on December 7.

Cyberpunk 2077 officially launches on December 9 at 4:00PM PST / 7:00PM EST, or December 10 at midnight GMT. That’s a single, global release time no matter where in the world you’re located, and it will apply across Steam, GOG, the Epic Store, and Stadia. On consoles, the game will launch at midnight in your local time zone.

You’ll be able to pre-load the GOG version of Cyberpunk 2077 – which you can also pre-order via Humble – on December 7 at 3:00 AM PST / 6:00 AM EST / 11:00 AM GMT. Steam and Epic pre-loads will be available on the same day starting at 9:00 PST / 11:00 AM EST / 4:00 PM GMT. Xbox pre-loads are already live, and PlayStation pre-loads will begin “two days prior to the release date”.

Apparently for GOG, the bonus is only a discount on Cyberpunk gear in their store.

Booting up Cyberpunk 2077 with the 6 year old GeForce GTX 970 4GB looks like it will return a reliable 61 FPS. And those results are assuming a 1920x1080 screen resolution at High setting level.

Although Ultra 1440p might be a bit too much for this GPU, it would return 46 FPS on High graphics setting.

In summary, a good way to look at the performance with this GeForce GTX 970 4GB is to consider, do you want 1080p gaming with ok graphics settings or would you be needing 1440p resolution with bottom end graphics settings. Take a look at the following results to help you choose. 1080p Medium 90 FPS, 1080p High setting: 61 FPS, 1080p Ultra setting: 44 FPS, 1440p Low setting: 88 FPS, 1440p Medium setting: 69 FPS.
