Best settings for Cyberpunk 2077 on NVIDIA RTX 4070 + AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

1080p
123 fps estimated
RPG
16 GB RAM

A NVIDIA RTX 4070 paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D lands around 123 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with Medium textures, Low shadows and DLSS Performance. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.

Tips & Notes

  • Path Tracing (RT Overdrive) requires DLSS/FSR and cuts FPS ~50%
  • DLSS Frame Generation recommended for RT Overdrive

Your GPU is limiting FPS here

NVIDIA RTX 4070 is holding back your AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at 1080p in Cyberpunk 2077. A better GPU could get you closer to ~148 fps at these settings.

Estimate only — based on a 20% uplift for a moderate GPU bottleneck, not a measured benchmark.

About Cyberpunk 2077 on PC

Cyberpunk 2077 remains the benchmark PC game of the decade — not because every system can run it well, but because of how dramatically settings choices change the experience. Night City punishes both GPUs and CPUs simultaneously: dense crowds and traffic stress your CPU, while volumetric fog, screen-space reflections, and path-traced lighting can crush even a flagship GPU. The good news is the engine scales beautifully, and a careful settings pass on mid-range hardware delivers a stunning result.

If you have an RTX 40-series card, DLSS Quality plus Ray Tracing: Medium is the sweet spot at 1440p. RTX 50-series owners can comfortably enable Path Tracing with DLSS Quality and Frame Generation. On AMD and RTX 20/30-series cards, skip ray tracing entirely, set FSR or DLSS to Quality, and prioritize crowd density and shadow quality — those two settings affect immersion in Night City more than any other.

Targets the current PC release with recent drivers. Estimates separate conventional rasterized settings from the much heavier ray-tracing and path-tracing modes.
