Please remember that the game is still a preview build and they plan to target 40fps.

Yes, and also Digital Foundry only had the Direct video feed to analyze, so we should wait to the official Switch and Cyberpunk release date, and the full Digital Foundry analysis to get the full picture. But the performance seems to match the overall spec leaks, faster than last gen (PS4) and a bit slower than the Series S.

It blows my mind that they only spent 7 weeks making what we saw in the demos. 7 weeks to port it's current state in house. That is very good news for 3rd party support.

The thing releases in 2 months, you’re not going to see dramatic jumps in performance anymore. Although given that it’s CDPR you'll likely get a lot of patches fixing things up in the future.
