The maxed-out visuals companion to the RTX 4060 raster preset. Cyberpunk's Overdrive (Path Tracing) mode is the most advanced lighting on PC - and on an RTX 4080 at 1440p it's only viable with DLSS Quality + Frame Generation, which together deliver a smooth ~80-100FPS. The single best-looking way to play the game.

Notes
Path Tracing (Overdrive) costs roughly -40 to -80FPS over rasterization, so DLSS + Frame Generation is mandatory, not optional. On RTX 4080 @ 1440p: enable Ray Tracing: Overdrive, DLSS Super Resolution Quality, DLSS Ray Reconstruction On, and Frame Generation On -> ~80-100FPS. RTX 4080 is the practical minimum for path tracing; 4070-class cards should drop to RT Reflections only (gs-048 covers the no-RT raster preset). Use the latest DLSS preset (override to the newest model) for the cleanest image.
