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.

Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 113 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 84 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 48 to 84 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4080 is 109% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Cyberpunk 2077. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 0% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-12700).
The GeForce RTX 4080 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1178.13. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 113 FPS, equivalent to 0.1 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k medium, the GeForce RTX 4080 sets the ceiling at about 102 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 183 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 44% (FPS gap: 81 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4080 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 29% | GPU Limits CPU 31% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 35% | GPU Limits CPU 41% | GPU Limits CPU 42% | GPU Limits CPU 42% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 40% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 44% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4080 can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 84 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 109% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 0% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1178.13 ($378.13 CPU + $800 GPU). Your GeForce RTX 4080 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5090 D for around $1999 (Rank #374 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 4080 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Cyberpunk 2077 performance right now. GPU fully utilized 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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4080 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
