A AMD RX 7800 XT paired with a AMD Ryzen 5 7600 lands around 81 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with High textures, Medium shadows and FSR Performance. Ray tracing is set to Low. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.
Based on benchmark data and community reports for this hardware combination — treat as an estimate, not a guarantee. How we calculate this.
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.
