The benchmark for modern graphical fidelity. Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty raised the requirements, making an SSD mandatory. The dense city and NPC AI require strong multi-thread CPU performance. Path Tracing ('Overdrive Mode') is a feature reserved for high-end RTX 40 series cards with Frame Generation.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 65 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 65 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 64 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 131% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Cyberpunk 2077. The 3015e is 79% below minimum CPU requirement.
The 3015e sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the 3015e sets the ceiling at about 65 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 350 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 81% (FPS gap: 285 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your 3015e is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 81% | CPU Limits GPU 79% | CPU Limits GPU 75% | CPU Limits GPU 70% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 77% | CPU Limits GPU 73% | CPU Limits GPU 68% | CPU Limits GPU 62% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 61% | CPU Limits GPU 54% | CPU Limits GPU 42% | CPU Limits GPU 36% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The 3015e + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 87% and 100% and GPU utilization between 33% and 70%. 3015e reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 46% at 1080p to 56% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 96% to 92%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a CPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Low, the 3015e reaches 99% average load (98-100%), while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively lower at 36% (33-39%). This points to heavier CPU-side frame preparation work, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 96% and GPU 46%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 98% and GPU 43%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 92% and GPU 56%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 90% (87-92%) and GPU 61% (52-70%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while 3015e remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the CPU. The 3015e reaches 99% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Low while the GeForce RTX 4090 remains comparatively underutilized, so a faster processor would improve frame-time consistency and top-end FPS.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the 3015e paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 64 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 92% below the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Cyberpunk 2077, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The 3015e is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Cyberpunk 2077 does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Cyberpunk 2077 requires at minimum a Core i7-6700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1060 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 70 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-12700 and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These Cyberpunk 2077 FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
