Ah Well, looks like the bug got us all. I came here looking for a fix hopefully. No such luck it seems.

Try this:
Using file explorer, go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\CD Projekt Red\Cyberpunk 2077 and look for the UserSettings.json file. Make a backup of it, just in case you make a mistake. Open the file in notepad and search for "raytracing". You will see an options section with three (in my case) ray tracing options:
RayTracing
RayTracedReflections
RayTracedLighting
Each of the three sections will have a "value" field set to true. Change the "true" to "false", save the file, and try launching the game now.

I have the same problem. With 1080 GTX, didn't work on old drivers (445.87) and it doesn't on new ones (460.79)
I have 2 144hz monitors and a 60Hz tv connected. I've tried changing all the 3D settings in my NVIDIA control panel. I've reinstalled and verified the files.
It's 3AM now so I'm done troubleshooting for now, I hope someone here figures it out. Good luck guys.

Had to do a full uninstall and clean install of my GPU drivers. Game seems to be working okay for now. Give it a go.

It would be really funny if Windows 8.1 really wasn't supported, because one of the reasons i upgraded from Win 7 was because i felt more on the safe side with 8.1. :|
For me it doesn't matter right now what i do. I installed the DirectX packages, updated Display Driver already earlier, disabled the overlay and also ran as Admin (although i am Admin already).
