Update: Cyberpunk 2077 PC version with raytracing, first screenshots - Reserves 80GB for Install
CD Projekt Red announced close collaboration with Nvidia for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077. For the Geforce RTX team a nice moment to create some momentum for a raytracing showcase. We have the first screenshots of Cyberpunk 2077 with raytracing active on Geforce RTX graphics cards.
Thanks to "Raytracing-specific Geforce RTX GPUs, these effects can be rendered in real time in the game," says CD Projekt Red. What effects are implemented exactly with this (raytracing reflections, raytracing shadows) remains unclear (but we'll use the screenshots to reflect on reflections; in the Gamescom demo 2018, screen-space reflections with clearly visible absence will also be present) DLSS support has question marks. However, Adam Badowski, Head of Studio at CD Project Red, believes that raytracing allows "realistic representation of the behavior of light in a condensed urban environment". Thanks to raytracing, "additional levels of depth and verticality could be introduced to the already impressive megacity".
Matt Wuebbling, Head of GeForce Marketing at Nvidia, believes that "the world of cyberpunk will benefit greatly from realistic raytracing lighting." To give a first impression of real-time raytracing in Cyberpunk 2077, the first screenshots were released to demonstrate gameplay in Ultra HD resolution. You will find these pictures at the beginning of the following gallery. We also have some new "normal" screenshots of the E3 integrated, so you have a comparison.
Update: Cyberpunk 2077 is the most anticipated games of 2020, and while we all know that game installs are getting bigger and bigger here passing a new threshold. The minimum storage requirement for the game is 80GB, Reddit user /u/PhoOhThree however, mentions that it might simply be a placeholder as the game is not yet finished. Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on April 16th, 2020.

Looks nice. Maybe by the time it's released there will be hardware that can handle it :p
"Optimize" usually means to water down. There's only so much that smart coding can do to alleviate a bottleneck, especially for hardware features that are extremely computation-heavy. This is especially true for PC games, which can have a wide variety of configurations.

Blaming a toolset for what is essentially the developers inability to optimize is so basic.

My thoughts as well, and I really want this game ... We have a year to get a new card to play it ... lol

This makes me happy, not because i have an RTX card (I don't) but because to me that says that it probably won't be a PC port that was hindered by having consoles in mind.

As much as I couldn't care less about RTX (at least as of today, I'm sure I will eventually), people here sure are getting pessimistic over it and this game's use of it...
It's pretty obvious the game doesn't depend on it, and I'm sure it will still be graphically amazing without it.

This will require some insane horsepower for sure, I'll be playing it with ray-tracing eventually, just probably not at launch (didn't play Witcher 3 completely maxed at launch either so it's fine).

On old hardware sure, current hardware will be fine.
Ask yourself, what hardware are they currently using to compile/design/test the game? An RTX 3080ti?...Nope
Supercomputer maybe?

Take a few laps at the salt lick, but WCCFTECH has details on the Super lineup. Basically, take every existing model, knock it down one price point, slot a few new chips in for the mid-range and the top end, and then remove the power locks. So you will be able to get a slightly limited version of the 2080Ti for 2080 base prices starting (potentially) later this month.

Such hardware is already ready to be sold to you for the affordable price of 4K for the gpu and 2k for the cpu. Add another 1k for the ram and you'll be fine.

I do hope the developers haven't simplified the non-RTX lighting fx for this game(/have Nvidia been a little persuasive here?) - just to give the RTX-on version a greater impact.

Yeah. Never a bad tool. Always bad craftsman.
Wait, if that's true, why people constantly try to improve software? 8087 should have been sufficient tool for all computational needs we ever had. Sure, people just did not know how to utilize it. (Famously written PhysX CPU code path which nVidia left unchanged for so many years.)
No, that's not right, right? So, it was era of Core2 CPUs since when nVidia's toolset was perfect and developers were just too bad at optimizing for it.
No wait, that's not right again. Their toolset is as bad even with i9-9900K which is like 15 times more powerful than C2D.
So tell me, what kind of CPU improvement there needs to be before you admit that even magnitude more powerful CPU is not enough for badly made toolset.

Simply said, performance impact and issues are not worth visual "improvement" it delivers.

First game I've got the impression that could really benefit from RT.
