There are only two days left until the launch of the game Cyberpunk 2077. The first materials are already available on the web, telling what to expect from the new CD Projekt RED project. The editors at Tom’s Hardware approached the review of the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 in a slightly different way, deciding to test current models of video cards on it.
Overseas peer testing at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K with Medium and Ultra graphics quality settings. For GeForce RTX adapters, performance was also measured using DLSS smoothing and ray tracing technology. The test platform is based on an Intel Core i9-9900K processor. The full review can be found here.
As you can see, even with medium graphics settings, the requirements for Cyberpunk 2077 are quite high. To play comfortably at 1080p resolution, you need a Radeon RX 5600 XT or GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card, while 1440p and 4K monitor owners should get a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and GeForce RTX 3080 respectively.
For ultra-graphics quality settings, you need a GeForce RTX 2070 or Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card for a comfortable 1080p frame rate. At 1440p, you’ll need a GeForce RTX 3080 or Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics adapter, and at 4K, no modern graphics card delivers 60fps.
The graphs above show the results of “green” video cards with active effects based on ray tracing (RTU – RayTracing Ultra, RTM – RayTracing Medium). In this mode, Cyberpunk 2077 brings even the best Nvidia Ampere to their knees. The only graphics card that offers more than 60 fps in native 1080p is the GeForce RTX 3090.
According to the results, Cyberpunk 2077 is not one of the most optimized games at the moment. At least when it comes to the PC version. Hopefully the developers will improve performance in the next patches.
