I got it on Stadia and it’s blowing my mind. I can play it on my Tv or projector thru chromecast ultras, or on my pc seamlessly and it looks great. I got to try it on the iPad Pro next. I love it. This is the breakout game for cloud computing.

Thanks I was wondering about what hardware stadia is running the game on and if they would have the same console issues. Im planning to buy stadia for this game.

AMD Vega 56ish GPUs and Intel CPUs, the game runs on medium settings on Stadia at 1080p.

30 fps target?
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by sidibe on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @09:47PM (#25438448)
60 fps. There's also a 4K 30 fps option but my screen doesn't support that so not sure how good it is

I’ve listened to 3 hours of CP2077 performance reviews (it helps me work, I swear). A medium quality 1080p60 target on Vega 56 doesn’t ring true to me. It must be missing the frame rate target 100% of the time.
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by kuschku on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @05:26AM (#25440963)
Yet 60fps 1080p medium is possible even on the RX480. It's not like the game requires a lot of performance, it's more that performance is inconsistent and while some players might get great performance, others with the same hardware won't

That's what they claim it is, I'm not very attuned to that stuff so can't really say. They automatically refund before some time threshold if you want to try

Gamers Nexus has made interesting pieces on Stadia performance in the past. I don’t think they have public plans to do more work with it. Subjective experience is the most important metric.
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by willis936 on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @04:50PM (#25449260)
I stand corrected: 1080p60 medium is reasonable.

How do you find the latency?
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by gundmc on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @03:45AM (#25440355)
Imperceptible with a controller on TV (as compared to an Xbox One on the same TV, which has a decent amount of input lag already).

On Chrome on PC with a low-latency gaming monitor, you can notice the difference if you play a game natively and then stream it, but honestly you stop thinking about it pretty quickly as long as your ping is under ~25 ms or so. I'm loving Cyberpunk on Stadia and I've been playing shooters on PC since MoH:AA in 2002.

Edit: I have Comcast Cable, not fiber.

Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by sidibe on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @09:53PM (#25438495)
To contradict sibling, I don't notice any latency on 75 mbps plan (might be a lack of sensitivity to that as someone who hasn't gamed in years)
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by SV_BubbleTime on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @06:40PM (#25436973)
This is a question that has two answers

1. Not good

2. I have fiber

Obviously generalization and I don’t care if someone has 2008 DSL and it “runs awesome”.

Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by p1necone on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @07:09PM (#25437245)
2. I have fiber and I'm close to a Stadia datacenter.*

I assume they don't release in markets that aren't physically close to the hardware though - it's not available at all here in New Zealand for example.

Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by polishdude20 on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @01:45AM (#25439791)
Fiber wouldn't do much would it? Does it reduce actual travel time for the signal?
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by msh on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @03:33AM (#25440310)
Depends a lot what you compare fiber to.

mobile broadband can easily have 20-30 ms latency to the ISP.

DSL is often 10-20 ms. Coax is in the same range, depending ont he provider.

Fiber is usually 1-3 ms.

You do not seem to live in a rural area.
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by msh on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @12:18PM (#25445188)
I don't understand why rural is relevant to the latency I posted?
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by IshKebab on Wednesday December 16, 2020 @01:36PM (#25446406)
Very anecdotal but I just switched from cable to fibre and latency significantly reduced, form like 20-30ms to 5ms.

General-purpose computing is slipping from our grasp quickly enough as-is. Why would you accelerate this trend by buying on streaming services?
Re:CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf... by sfkdjf9j3j on Tuesday December 15, 2020 @08:28PM (#25437909)
Presumably because it's a lot cheaper and more convenient.
