Frame generation
Does Nivalis Nights support DLSS, FSR or XeSS?
As of launch, no upscaler or frame generator is available in-game. This is the most common question in the first-week reviews, and it is asked in every language we track. Players are not asking hypothetically — they are asking because the required-spec line on the store page lists an RTX 4070 / RX 7800 XT, and there is no way to reach that target with the tools the rest of the genre ships with.
| Technology | In-game at launch | What players are reporting |
|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA DLSS | Not supported | Named in negative reviews across EN, PT-BR, RU, TR, ZH |
| AMD FSR | Not supported | Referenced by Brazilian players as a missing feature |
| Intel XeSS | Not supported | Less commonly cited; no in-game option found |
If a patch adds any of these, this table changes first. It is the highest-traffic table on this site and the fastest to go stale.
Measured hardware
Will it run on my GPU?
No verified measurements yet. We publish a row here only when a specific machine, resolution, settings preset and frame rate have all been reported and checked. Guessing would be faster and worthless — every pre-launch guide site on this game is already full of invented numbers.
If you have measured this, the raw review text is on the reviews page and quoting the recommendation id is enough to get a row published.
In players' words
What performance reports actually say
Quoted verbatim from Steam reviews, in the language they were written. Original text is never translated and never paraphrased — a player checking their own experience should find their own words here.
this is one of the coolest games ive ever seen but the performance is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MISERABLE they need to optimize this game so bad how do I get worse frames on this than cyberpunk2077 at psycho RT
Unfortunately the game has very poor performance. In quite a few areas I go below 60 FPS with the lowest hitting 35 FPS while on high settings. There also seems to be no difference in performance regardless of what settings i use. PC Specs: 1440p Resolution Ryzen 9 9950X3D RTX 5090 64 GB RAM I've tried some of the fixes that the developers have recommended but nothing has worked.
有点难评。 我将这款游戏加入愿望单的时间是2022年,准确来说是我第一款加入愿望单的游戏。我就这样期待了四年,终于在2026年国庆假期开始的时候玩到了这款游戏,开放购买那一刻立马付款,但半个小时的游戏经历就将我弄得头晕眼花,稍微提几点吧。 1.游戏的地图止步于指出不同的大区域,而当你进入到具体区域之后想要辨别方向只能靠着之前的经验瞎走。这一点在一个赛博风的花里胡哨的像素游戏中导致了灾难般的效果。举例来说,玩家进入的第一个区域有着大量的店铺,商贩,而当你想要去到具体你想要去的那个地方,你大概率要在这个充斥着光污染的高楼大厦中弯弯绕绕,从游戏顶部的抬头显示中挨个朝着不知道是不是你需要的那个商贩跑去(不同商贩的标识没有区别),体验真的很差 2.极多的对话造成了一定的负面效果。这点仁者见仁吧,我能理解制作组想通过对话展现出赛博朋克的内核,让玩家更有沉浸感,但废话也真的太多了点。这点在之前的cloudpunk中其实也有所体现。 [s…
Cyberpunk 2077 is my favorite game of all time, and I have over 1,000 hours in it. Ever since I first started playing Cyberpunk 2077, I dreamed of living in a place like Night City — not just visiting it, but actually living there, working, making friends, having a job, and experiencing everyday life in a cyberpunk world. When I first heard about Nivalis Nights and read the first news about it, I was incredibly…
Massively enjoying this so far. What I thought was going to be a simple slice of life cyberpunk restaurant sim has so much more depth to it. Few little things here and there, such as restocking the noodle stand the first time won't complete unless you buy extra ingredients because your cook is using ingredients while you shop, but overall nothing so far that has stopped me from wanting to get lost in this world. It's…
I wont refund because I want to play more but will leave a downvote for now until it's fixed. I actually have higher FPS in CP2077 with path tracing on than in this game when looking somewhere with more than 5 NPCs.
Find's zwar grundsätzlich doof, ein Spiel nach so kurzer Zeit zu bewerten, aber ich will einfach gegen die ganzen üblen Reviews anstinken. In der ersten halben Stunde ist das Spiel im Grunde so, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hab und die Entwickler es beschrieben haben: eine Wirtschafts-Simulation im Cyberpunk Setting. Und die Atmosphäre wird durch die Optik und die (grandiose) Musik auch hervorragend eingefangen. Ich ha…
Its just sad. The game itself seemed fun, i liked the atmosphere so far and the shop manegement also seems fun. The performance kills it for me. idk.. At least there could be framegen or something, but the options are very limited. The game looks like it should run fine (no offense, i really like the style) but FPS dropping so much with many NPCs around that it becomes unenjoyable. I suggest waiting if you are inte…
I think the downvotes for performance are a little unfair and so I felt obliged to leave a positive review - will update it later when I've played more. Performance could be better sure, and I appreciate that'll be different for everyone (*I'm not on a mad rig, I'm currently on a Legion 5 Pro...) - but for me personally it wasn't a major issue and definitely not worth a downvote at launch, which can really hurt how…
TLDR: It is my opinion this game is bad, even past the performance issues and I have refunded. It is no where near the quality of Cloudpunk in any regard. It is tedious, boring, badly written, visually inconsistent etc. please read on to see my vaguely coherent ramblings of why my most anticipated game of the year has disappointed me immeasurably. Oh boy - I was a huge fan of Cloudpunk and I was really really excite…
Method
Every number on this site comes from one of two places, and we say which:
- Quoted player reports — pulled from the public Steam review feed, stored locally, and re-fetched weekly. Quotes are verbatim.
- Verified measurements — a machine, resolution, settings preset and frame rate, each traceable to the review it came from.
We do not publish estimated frame rates, projected specifications, or numbers carried over from a different game. Where evidence is missing, this page says so.
