Ray Tracing – Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action role-playing game set in the dystopian metropolis of Night City. Developed by CD Projekt Red, it offers a vast and immersive world filled with diverse characters, complex storylines, and a wide range of customization options. Players can create their own unique cyberpunk character and explore the city’s underbelly, completing missions, engaging in cybernetic enhancements, and making choices that shape their destiny.
In Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing set to Ultra, the AORUS Master leads the pack with 45 FPS on the averages and 34 FPS on the 1% lows, matching the average performance of the Founders card, but actually coming in with lower 1% lows, though we’re only talking a few frames per second, so nothing of concern, and matching pretty evenly with the Astral card and the Master with that extra fan installed, which throughout our testing, hasn’t really helped at all.
How about overlocking that card? Is it better than Astral or what?
Well it says 70° but at 1600rpm+ and I can say that my Aorus 5090 is pretty loud at 1600rpm. What you wanna do is you wanna use the silent bios and try to stay below 1300rpm and THAT is pretty difficult unfortunately (be quiet Pure Base 500 with 4 or even 5 fans). I can keep it at 75-78° with 1250-1280rpm but only at a PT of 85%. Anything above 90% and the shit goes up to 80°+ and the fans go up to 1500-1600rpm which is too loud for my taste. I certainly expected better temps (lower noise) with a huge cooler like that but it also requires very good airflow inside the case ofc.
