The graphics card: frame rates in Cyberpunk 2077 rise with GPU speed until about 128 FPS, where the processor takes over.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about an RTX 4060 or RX 7600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 26 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
Limits above ~128 FPS
In ComputerBase's testing, the fastest graphics cards all level off around 128 FPS at 1080p: the processor is the limit there, and a slower processor sets it lower. Source: ComputerBase
Video memory (VRAM)
6 GB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 6 GB of video memory. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in Cyberpunk 2077
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where Cyberpunk 2077 offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 6 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
- 4Above about 128 FPS, graphics settings stop helping: the processor is the limit there. Settings that add work for the processor, such as crowd density, are the ones to lower if Cyberpunk 2077 has them.
