Cards need video memory within 2 GB of what the game wants. Prices re-checked daily; prices marked Sample are PC Atlas catalog estimates, not live store prices.

If it struggles at 4K

  • Turn on DLSS upscaling (Quality first, then Balanced). It is usually the biggest single fps gain for a small loss in sharpness.
  • Drop the preset from Ultra to High. Shadows, volumetric fog and clouds, and ray tracing cost the most and look the least different.
  • Or play at 1440p, where it gets about 65 fps (estimate).
  • Set textures to High or Medium. The game wants about 16 GB of video memory at 4K and this card has 10 GB; running out causes stutter, not just lower fps.

Processor check

Cyberpunk 2077 leans hard on the processor, especially in busy scenes. The fps numbers here come from a Ryzen 7 9800X3D test PC; with an older or budget processor you'll see less, whatever the graphics card. For this game, aim for a Ryzen 5 9600X or faster.

Real results vary with settings, drivers, game patches and your processor.
