Are you wondering why DLSS Ray Reconstruction is greyed out in Cyberpunk 2077? We've got you covered. The latest 2.0 patch and Phantom Liberty DLC expansion will ship with full ray tracing support, bringing an entirely new visual gameplay experience to Night City.

But the question is: how can you get the new AI rendering power to work? That's where we come in. This guide will explain how to turn on Ray Reconstruction so you can embrace all that Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update has to offer.

Why Is DLSS Ray Reconstruction Greyed Out In Cyberpunk?

CD Projekt RED added support for NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, which introduces DLSS Ray Reconstruction, a feature that improves the quality of Ray Traced effects. However, this feature is exclusive to players with a GeForce RTX graphics card.

To enable DLSS Ray Reconstruction in Cyberpunk 2077 is relatively straightforward. The option is available in Settings → Graphics under the NVIDIA DLSS section.

Despite this simplicity, some Cyberpunk 2077 players report that the option to turn on Ray Reconstruction is greyed out. This is because DLSS 3.5 is only available if Path Tracing is turned on. Beyond this, you also need to ensure that Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode quick preset is selected.

At this time, Ray Reconstruction is only available in Overdrive Mode in Cyberpunk 2077. The feature will be rolled out to other Ray Tracing modes in later updates.

To ensure DLSS Ray Reconstruction in Cyberpunk 2077 works correctly on your PC, you must also update your NVIDIA Game Ready Driver to version 537.42 at minimum. There is a possibility that the feature is locked to RTX40-series graphics cards for the moment. So, this might be the reason you're still struggling to access the feature.

What Is Ray Reconstruction In Cyberpunk 2077?

According to the official NVIDIA blog post, Ray Reconstruction is an advanced AI model designed to enhance the quality of ray-traced images, particularly for demanding ray-traced games and applications. It is available via the NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 smart technology.

Powered by Tensor Cores on GeForce RTX GPUs, DLSS 3.5 offers a comprehensive set of AI rendering solutions that ensure faster frame rates, superior image clarity, and heightened responsiveness.

This suite includes Super Resolution & DLAA (compatible with all RTX GPUs), Frame Generation (exclusive to RTX 40 Series GPUs), and the newly introduced Ray Reconstruction. This Ray Reconstruction integrates added AI into the ray-tracing lighting mechanism and supersedes multiple manually adjusted denoisers.

It unifies Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction into a singular AI model, effectively tackling the issues of image degradation tied to denoising and the loss of intricate details during upscaling. In simple terms, it makes Cyberpunk 2077's dystopian aesthetic look f__king awesome.
