Junk Items - Bullet Pendant & Cable Necklace

[Gray Matter Guerrilla]

So I found 2 'junk' items worth 750 each. The "Bullet Pendant" and "Cable Necklace". Are these items worth keeping for a future mission?
I'm hesitant to sell, even though they're labeled 'junk', due to their high value.

Well well, i've acquired the skill that auto recycle every junk that goes to my inventory, guess i'm respecing my points

I jest, but I never would have figured you for the Cyberpunk 2077 type. Is the game actually working for you?

Beside one crash, and need to verify files to fix loading screen bug its working for me just fine. 50-60 fps on "medium" (turned off some gpu heavy ♥♥♥♥ that barely makes difference, there are youtube guides).

Optimalization and those bugs are not ideal, but im acutally suprised how well it is working. If the story wasnt good and gameplay such blast for me i guess i would refund, but its worth to way for some fixes.

I wondered what happened to those, maybe they should be listed as misc

I've found multiple of the Cable Necklace. I just sold them because of their value and deconstructed the regular junk.

I've found a few of those "junk" items that are worth 750 or so. So I am not getting the auto salvage thing, cause I still needs them euros.

hehe, hey man, long time no chat. I got the game for a variety of reasons - part curiosity in more than 1 way. But yeah, the game is running decently for me on Medium settings and a few turned off. Averaging 60-90 frames (which is LOW to my tastes), depending on what environment I'm in. Definitely requires beefy hardware. :/

Oooof, yeah, I'd avoid that skill.

I don't think these high dollar 'junk' items are necessary for future quests. At least, haven't read or heard differently. But yeah, sell them; re-spec to avoid junking them. I've come across several dozen of those high dollar junk items so it can add up nicely. ;)

Devs probably should relabel those high $$ items as Misc., otherwise they'll be scraped if anyone has the skill that auto-recycles junk items.

So no graphical glitches, clipping, people randomly popping in and out of the game, driving problems, enemy AI just standing there like they can't see you?

Since you seem to be having good luck you should give us your system specs.

Definitely has graphical glitches, some clipping and image pop. I'd say NPCs & cars that disappear are the most 'immersion breaking', along with the occasional exploding trash bag for no rhyme or reason.
The glitches are more frequent than expected from a "AAA" game, but nothing so extreme that it's game breaking or rage-inducing; at least not for me, but I tend to be more forgiving than most in that sense.
Granted, the more I play, my opinion may change. I'm not too far along...roughly 12 hours?

My specs: 9900K @ 5.2 Ghz; 2070 Super (factory OC); 32 gb DDR4 @ 3200 Mhz; installed on a 1 TB m.2 NVMe SSD. Playing @ 1440p

Yeah, the problems are real & the game requires beefy hardware, no doubt. If I had really low frames like those w/ mid-range PC's (or potatoes), there's no way I'd enjoy the game.

I'm reading a lot of reviewers trying to play Cyberpunk with 1060 GPU's and 5+ year old CPU's (or worse) and I can't help but think, "What did you expect?" At the same time, the game certainly needs work & optimization; but I'm wondering with the addition of DLSS and ray-tracing in the game, if that somehow limits the ability for lower end systems entirely (even though those options can be turned off, perhaps it still impacts performance)? Maybe there's only so much "optimization" to be done? I dunno....I'm getting into a subject beyond my expertise.

Anyhoo, glad you're enjoying XIII.

I have that skill....750 eddies won't even get me out of bed in the morning; I can easily make 100K in the span of an hour so 750 is pocket change. Seriously...sell your consumables tab every once in a while and you might be surprised that the amount of "coffee" you find on a walk around the block will easily outstrip that single item worth 750. Last time I did this it earned me some 17K

You got me thinking with this post. The reason you see so many people expecting to be able to play this game, and other very demanding games, with "lesser" systems is because they have systems meet the requirements specified by the developer. Why shouldn't they expect to be able to play a game if the developer says they can?

You mentioned the 1060 GPUs as though they were inadequate for this game but according to CD Projekt Red a 1060 meets recommended requirements. As for the processor, they specify an i7-4790 as recommended.

https://support.cdprojektred.com/en/cyberpunk/pc/sp-technical/issue/1556/cyberpunk-2077-system-requirements

Check out this video of someone playing with a 1070 and an i7-4790.

Yeah, I've seen those requirements before and based on pre-release game play videos, I was suspicious of the minimum. Really don't think they should have set the minimum to that, but whatever.

I'm looking into this more and testing it out:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/kcka6t/unlock_your_cyberpunk_2077_memory_pool_budget/
IF the above is true, then the minimum requirements as stated may be 100% accurate.
Will confirm when I can.

How is your game holding up?

rofl, that's true. I'm guessing they were playing with everything set to low and/or off?
Hasn't been the first time spec mins/recs were off....ugh.

I've tried a few things - including the memory pool in link - and didn't see any improvement. Changed various in-game settings, but didn't seem to increase performance either.

As it is now, I can play it just fine (mostly Medium, a few High, and a few Low or Off). I would like to get 100 frames at least, but I don't think that's possible. Another thing that's helping me (at least I assume) is that my monitor is G-Sync, but not everyone has one of those.

100K in an hour?

I meant to add: there is definitely something weird going on. My CPU utilization is good: between 75% - 90%, but my GPU utilization is VERY low: between 3% - 25%.

So whatever is causing the GPU to not run as expected is likely keeping me from gaining above my average 70 frames. I imagine I could easily hit 100 frames if I could figure that out, but I really don't want to spend hours testing and testing.....ugh...
