Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 received critical acclaim by critics reviewing the PC version, with praise for its narrative, setting, and graphics, although some gameplay elements and technical issues received criticism at launch.
Cyberpunk 2077 PC Requirements:
Cyberpunk 2077 Minimum PC: 1080p Low
CD Projekt Red and Nvidia provided the above slide detailing all of the recommended specs. Interestingly, all mention of AMD graphics cards has been scrubbed from the list. However, the left two columns of the list basically haven't changed since what was stated in Night City Wire episode 3 (starting around the 20:30 mark), with Nvidia apparently adding five additional columns. Let's start with the minimum specs first:
- Core i5-3570k or Fx-8310
- GTX 780 3GB (or RX 470 4GB)
- 8GB RAM
- 3GB VRAM
- 70GB storage
- Windows 7 or Windows 10 64-bit
- Target: 1080p Low
So, that's your clunker standard cyberdeck that's barely enough to get you started as a netrunner. It has a CPU from 2012, a GPU from 2013 (Nvidia) or 2016 (AMD), a modest amount of memory, and a 64-bit version of Windows. Cyberpunk 2077 requires DirectX 12 (DX12), which was backported to Windows 7 but not Windows 8/8.1.
What sort of experience will this deck get you? It says 1080p low, but it doesn't state whether that's for 60 fps or 30 fps. If we were to hazard a guess, it's closer to 30 than 60.
Recommended PC: 1080p High
- Core_i7-4790_or Ryzen,3_3200G
- GTX_1060_6GB, GTX_1660_Super(or R0_Fury)
- 12GB RAM
- 6GB VRAM
- 70GB SSD storage
- Windows 10 64-bit
- Target: 1080p High
The recommended hardware for 1080p high is still pretty tame. The GPUs are moderately faster — according to our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, Nvidia's 1060 6GB is about 30 percent faster than the GTX 780; meanwhile, AMD's R9 Fury X is about 30 percent faster than the RX 570 4GB, so the vanilla R9 Fury is perhaps 35 percent faster than the minimum RX 470. Note that the R9 Fury X is also about 25 percent faster than the GTX 1060 6GB.
For newer GPUs, both the GTX 1650 Super and RX 5500 XT provide similar performance, but the 1650 cards only have 4GB VRAM, so Nvidia also suggests the GTX 1660 Super. That's a big spread in performance, as the 1660 Super is over 40 percent faster than the 1060 6GB.
On the CPU side, things are a bit weird. The Core i7-4790 is similar to the i7-4770K, and both should be substantially faster than the Ryzen 3 3200G. A Ryzen 5 1400 would have been a more sensible minimum CPU, so it feels a bit like CDPR is just pulling models out of a hat. Ryzen 3 3200G is limited to an x8 PCIe bus link, plus it's a 4-core/4-thread CPU. It's not going to beat a Core i7 Haswell or Devil's Canyon in gaming performance, in other words.
While the recommended PC hardware targets 1080p high, we again don't know if that's 30 fps or 60 fps. The 1060 will probably land in the 35-45 fps range on average, while the GTX 1660 Super should be close to 60. Again, it's a pretty low bar for a gaming PC.More
