It will now be required to have a cyberdeck installed to benefit from Cogito Lattice cyberware.
Fixed an issue where the buff after exploding an enemy with the Detonate Grenade quickhack didn't match the description.

UI

Added a Radioport category in Settings → Gameplay to customize Radioport behavior. Enable "Sync to Vehicle Radio" to keep the music playing after exiting a vehicle. With "Cycle Stations with Button Press", effortlessly switch between radio stations by simply pressing the Radioport button without the need to open the Radio menu. Enable "Save Current Station" to have the Radioport resume playing the radio station upon loading a saved game.
The data window that appears when scanning will no longer default to the "Hacking" tab rather than "Data". Instead, it will now remember which tab was open last.
Fixed an issue preventing players from changing cyberware at Ripperdocs and seeing the Cyberware Capacity bar.
Added a pop-up message for when it's not possible to activate Sandevistan during holocalls.
Like the non-Iconic variants, Iconic quickhacks will no longer have the duration displayed in their descriptions.
Made small improvements to the appearance of Net sites.

Visual

Neon-lit rims for the Yaiba Kusanagi CT-3X will now light up properly.
Fixed shadows appearing on V's torso when wearing tank tops.
Fixed dark shadows appearing on V's hands when holding some weapons with Ray Tracing enabled.
The Devil and Judgment tarot cards will now be properly displayed on the end-game reward screen.

Vehicles

Tire track marks will now match the actual contact patch of the tire.
Adjusted the suspension movement of some traffic vehicles to improve it visually.
Motorcycle suspension has been improved to reduce visual clipping into roads and curbs. Braking is also improved. Some vehicles, including cars and trucks, will now better handle landing from big jumps.
Brake Torque Vectoring has been added to the Drive Model simulation. This change effectively reduces understeer on vehicles that previously used to suffer from it excessively when hard braking while turning (most noticeable on FWD and rear/mid-engined vehicles).
Retuned or improved tuning in various vehicles. This includes: Mizutani Hozuki MH1, MH2 and “Hoseki”, Villefort Deleon V400, V410 Coupe and "Vindicator", Thorton Colby CST40, Mahir Supron FS3-T, Chevillon Centurion 1000, Quadra Type 66 “Hoon”, and more.

PC-specific

Added a Hybrid CPU Utilization setting, which can be found under Gameplay → Performance. It can be set either to "Auto" (lets the operating system automatically decide how to distribute threads among the cores) or "Prioritize P-Cores" (prioritizes performance cores). It is set to "Auto" by default.
Implemented a fix that improves performance, especially on AMD RX Vega GPUs.

Misc

Added the CrystalCoat feature which allows you to change vehicle paint color. Because this technology was developed exclusively by Rayfield, it is currently only available for Rayfield vehicles you own.
Controller Inner Dead Zone has been changed to new default values for players who didn't change them, as keeping the old default values could result in stick drift.
Fixed an issue where the door in the Megabuilding H10 apartment wouldn't automatically close in some cases.

REDmod

Updated the address list for modders.

    Why am I still getting stutters with a 3080ti? Is there no fix? Do I need a better card already?

    Edit: y’all gave me some stuff to think about — thanks

      What type of stutters? They may not be videocard related; ram, hard drive and processor are more likely to cause big stutters than a videocard. Videocard stutters will be microstutters rarely more than a couple dropped frames in a row. There can also be network based stutters, but they are unlikely in a game like cyberpunk.

      Even more uncommon, but If it’s a constant pervasive stutter that doesnt get worse or better, do a clean uninstall of your videocard drivers and your display drivers and get the most recent known-good versions of each.

        Is there a way to find the bottleneck for a given game? I would ask Google, but they ain’t doin’ so well no more

          Open Task manager at the performance tab on the second monitor. If GPU is 100%, it’s GPU bottleneck, otherwise it’s most likely CPU. If RAM is close to max out, it can also be not enough RAM. If you notice a lot of stutters when going to new locations, it’s probably drive related. Low 1% FPS compared to avg FPS might also mean RAM is too slow.

              Hmm, that could be RAM or VideoRAM. Test lowering individual settings like texture quality or anti-aliasing to diagnose which. I forget if cyberpunk specifically has settings for view distance or LoD, those could also be worth a try if so. Just lower them one notch, one at a time, and see if any of them made a notable difference in that specific stuttering.

              Ooh, shadows, and more specifically ambient occlusion. Two other very good areas to test. Those both would also be at heaviest demand when rotating the camera. Also if the game has object based motion blur, personally I prefer that off anyway performance increase or not, but in this case it could be another culprit, hope it turns out you don’t like it too. Basically comes down to if you want your games to look like they were filmed with a camera, instead of something you are seeing first-hand.

      Also, I’ve had an issue where I thought I had a stutter but it was actually my wireless mouse dropping some movement updates. Looks pretty much the same when you’re moving the mouse around to see how smooth the cursor or camera moves with it. I plugged my mouse in and the “stutter” disappeared.

      And another time a game looked stuttery but it was actually just the default resolution the game used was one of the ones that couldn’t get the max refresh rate on my monitor (60hz instead of 144hz). I think the weird resolution it thought was best was one the monitor didn’t handle well in general because 60 fps on the native resolution didn’t look that bad even though the refresh rate was theoretically the same with VRR enabled.

      One last thing, windows has a perf monitor that can be used to figure out what is causing things like that. There’s also a tool called latency mon that looks at things like average system call latency over time to help track stutters down. And task manager can be set to report on page misses, if you have a task that’s consistently seeing those, it can slow other things down intermittently in the system, so might be worth testing what happens if you kill that process.

      Fyi, if your computer stops behaving properly after your kill some random processes, a restart will generally resolve that.

      Technically speaking a bottleneck cpu or gpu wise would not give stutters íf you have the right drivers installed. Check out your motherboard model and search the support page then download and install the latest drivers. Chipset drivers and ME(intel) drivers. Maybe the latest BIOS update and The latest ME firmware could help too Indeed a clean DDU of your videcard could help and install the latest videocard drivers.

      Let’s say you use Windows, that means Windows will butt force you to upgrade it every month or so, so Windows will have had a lot of changes and the old drivers could maybe not keep up.
