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

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.

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.

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.

Game crashes on startup here too on a GTX 1070 + Win 10. Doesn't even show the main menu. Game files are verified and i'm using the latest NVidia driver from today. Seems like the CrashReporter.exe is buggy which is used to launch the game.
It also throws that error if you launch "Cyberpunk 2077\bin\x64\CrashReporter\CrashReporter.exe" manually
The stracktrace.txt found in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\REDEngine\REportQueue" shows:
Message: Gpu Crash for unknown reasons! Callstack here is probably irrelevant. Check if Breadcrumbs or Aftermath logged anything useful.
File: e:\r6.patch0hotfix2\dev\src\common\gpuapi\src\dx12\gpuapidx12error.cpp(40)

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).
