| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Cyberpunk 2077 only supported Windows 10/11.
Priority and main graphics API for Cyberpunk 2077 is DirectX 12.
| GAME ENGINE |
REDengine is a game engine independently developed by CD Projekt RED. It was developed exclusively for the company’s non-linear computer role-playing games. REDengine is portable between 32- and 64-bit platforms and runs under the Microsoft Windows operating system. The engine was first used in the game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. REDengine 2, an updated version of the engine used in the second Witcher, also runs on the Xbox 360 and under the OS X and Linux operating systems, but these ports use a compatibility layer similar to Wine, called eON. REDengine 3 was developed exclusively for the 64-bit platform and also runs on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The first part of The Witcher was based on Aurora Engine technology, a game engine developed by the Canadian company BioWare and first used in the computer role-playing game Neverwinter Nights, which was released on June 18, 2002.
REDengine 2
REDengine uses the Havok middleware for physics rendering, Scaleform GFx for the user interface and FMOD for audio. The engine was used to port the game “The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings” to the Xbox 360.
REDengine 3
REDengine 3 was developed exclusively for the 64-bit platform. CD Projekt RED created REDengine 3 to develop open world games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
The engine introduces improvements to facial and other computer animation; Lighting effects no longer cause contrast ratio to decrease. The engine includes a flexible renderer that supports deferred shading on modern graphics pipelines, resulting in support for a wide range of cinematic effects, including bokeh and flares. The surface system uses tessellation and easily blendable layers of different materials.
REDengine 4
In 2017, CD Project revealed that they were working on four projects: city creation, seamless multiplayer, a cinematic feel, and animation excellence. All these projects will be included in REDengine4.

Our video cards were tested at different screen sizes of 1920×1080, 2560×1600 and 3840×2160 maximum graphics quality settings with and without ray tracing (without upscales).
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920×1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.

| VIDEO MEMORY CONSUMPTION |
Testing of video memory consumed by the game was carried out by the program MSI Afterburner. The indicator was based on the results on video cards from AMD and NVIDIA with separate screen sizes 1920×1080, 2560×1440 and 3840×2160 with various anti-aliasing settings. By default, the graph displays the most current solutions. Other video cards are added and removed from the schedule at the request of the reader.
