PC System Analysis For Cyberpunk 2077 Requirements :

Cyberpunk 2077 requires at least a Radeon RX 590 8GB or GeForce GTX 1060 to meet recommended requirements running on high graphics setting, with 1080p resolution. This hardware should achieve 60FPS. For your PC to completely meet the recommended requirements you will also need 12 GB system memory. To run Cyberpunk 2077 even on low graphics settings your PC will require at least a 3GB GeForce GTX 780 / Radeon RX 470 4GB with a Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz or FX-8310 CPU. This will return an average of 30 frames per second. GPUs will want to work with DirectX 12 for recommended.

The game was developed using the REDengine 4 by a team of around 500 people, exceeding the number that worked on the studio's previous game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith was a consultant, and actor Keanu Reeves has a starring role. The original score was led by Marcin Przybyłowicz, featuring the contributions of several licensed artists. After several years of heavy anticipation, CD Projekt released Cyberpunk 2077 for PlayStation 4, Stadia, Windows, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions planned to follow in 2021. It received praise for its narrative, setting, and graphics, although some of its gameplay elements received mixed responses, while its themes and representation of transgender characters received scrutiny.

Cyberpunk 2077 Graphics Card Considerations :

If you already have a decent PC, the main consideration for running Cyberpunk 2077 is your graphics card. You can see how performance stacks up between the various options in our full GPU benchmarks and performance hierarchy, but Nvidia's RTX 30-series GPUs are obviously enticing, what with their superior ray tracing performance and the added benefit of DLSS. We selected the penultimate consumer GPU right now, the RTX 3080. The GeForce RTX 3090 might be a bit faster, but at more than double the price, we're not going to be heavily recommending that. The RTX 3080 is a beast on its own, pummeling the last-gen RTX 2080 Ti by over 30% on average at 4K, or sometimes more with ray tracing and DLSS games. Nvidia has been working with CDPR to get ray tracing effects incorporated into Cyberpunk 2077 for at least the past year, plus DLSS, so an Nvidia GPU is probably the safer bet. The RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT should also be able to do ray tracing, but probably only at 1080p, considering they'll have to stick to native rendering.

Cyberpunk 2077 CPU Considerations :

Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't seem to be going too high on CPU requirements, but it's always good to have a fast processor for the smoothest experience. Average fps might not drop too much by running on an old Haswell i7 chip, but minimum fps will almost certainly suffer. Our best recommendation for a CPU you can actually buy right now is the Core i7-10700K, which is basically just a new name on the old i9-9900K. AMD's new Ryzen 7 5800X is likely a close match, maybe even superior in performance, but it's not in stock. That's also why we have the Ryzen 5 3600 (and not the Ryzen 5 5600X) as the baseline recommendation.
