Path Tracing Bugs with Cyberpunk 2077 and B570

[dawn panther]

Running current versions of all software and drivers as of posting this. Intel B570 GPU, AMD Ryzen 7 5800x 8 core CPU, 2 8gbs of Patriot Viper Steel DDR4, running on a Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD with Windows 10. Bug happens regardless of dlss/frame gen settings, or any other settings as long as path tracing is enabled. I haven't changed driver versions yet, but if I do experiment with that I will update here accordingly.

If you are using Gfx driver 32.0.101.8626, then you may want to drown grade to an older driver (anything 32.0.101.8531 or older).

Intel just stuffed a bunch of new features in 32.0.101.8626 driver and introduced A LOT of Bugs.

I haven't played Cyberpunk in a while, but i would recommend any driver late 2025 or older. I remember it was stable with those gfx driver builds.

You're welcome.

Just FYI, those links have a drop down menu, for other gfx driver builds. So you can try different gfx driver builds to see which one works for you.

switching to 8531 fixed it!!! :3

they borked the pt rendering in the new drivers fs lmao

[dawn panther]

still getting some random crashes when using PT. logs say gpu is not responding so game shuts down. its super inconsistent and seems to only happen under high loads.

I remember cyberpunk developers output some text file log that has some info in it. I have a suspicion its a gpu hang error.

[dawn panther]

I can post logs next time it does crash fs

[dawn panther]

yea this was a crash today i didnt even have path tracing on
