Cyberpunk 2077 Performance Review and Optimisation Guide

1440p Benchmarks at Medium and Ultra Settings

Cyberpunk 2077 is a hugely demanding game, and DLSS is proving to be a godsend for Nvidia’s Geforce RTX users. At Medium settings, even Nvidia’s GTX 1080 Ti stays below 60 FPS. With Cyberpunk 2077, Nvidia’s architectural changes with Turing and Ampere now makes sense. 

Older Pascal graphics cards will struggle to play Cyberpunk 2077 at high framerates and settings. Both Turing and Ampere-powered RTX GPUs will benefit from both DLSS and Cyberpunk 2077’s clear Nvidia-focused optimisations. That said, outside of DLSS AMD’s RDNA and RDNA 2 graphics cards perform admirably. If using the OC3D optimised settings outlined on page 9, AMD’s RX 6800 is a great 1440p 60FPS graphics card.
