Cyberpunk Developer Warns Against CPU Overloading With New Game
Recently, the game's developer Filip Pierściński took to Twitter to tell gamers to check their cooling systems around their CPU to make sure they’ll be able to handle Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 and would not overwork their systems. He also shared the music video of the Scooter song song ‘Fire’ along with his tweet. "Before release CP2077 2.0 and PL please check conditions of your cooling systems in PC. We use all what you have, so workload on CPU 90% on 8 core is expected. To save your time please run Cinebench or similar and check stability of your systems," he wrote on Twitter.
The cross-platform program Cinebench can be used to test a PC’s hardware capabilities. Players can determine how well their PC will cope with Version 2.0 of the game by running the program in advance. In June, CD Projekt updated Cyberpunk's PC system requirements and confirmed that the game will support SSDs for minimum requirements going forward. The developers re-iterated that the changes were introduced to update the game since the expansion is releasing three years after the base game.
