Cyberpunk 2077FPS onEPYC 7351P&GeForce RTX 4090

Cyberpunk 2077

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.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

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.

The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Performance Summary

The EPYC 7351P + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 22% and 90% and GPU utilization between 43% and 100%. EPYC 7351P stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 61% at 1080p to 91% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 68% to 45%.

Bottleneck Analysis

This profile is GPU-bound. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 96% usage (93-100%), while the EPYC 7351P stays at 34% (22-47%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 68% and GPU 61%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 69% and GPU 84%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 45% and GPU 91%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.

Optimal Settings Recommendation

4K (Ultra HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 50% (37-63%) and GPU 90% (81-98%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 7351P remains stable for consistent frame delivery.

Upgrade Insight

Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the EPYC 7351P and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.

Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.

  • The Ideal Scenario (GPU Bottleneck): You typically want to see High GPU Utilization (90%+) and moderate CPU usage. This indicates your system is successfully pushing out graphics as fast as it can, without being held back by the CPU.
  • CPU Bottleneck: If you see High CPU Utilization (85%+) paired with lower GPU utilization, the CPU is struggling to compute game logic and prepare frames fast enough. The GPU sits waiting, often resulting in stuttering, inconsistent frame times, and lower overall FPS.
  • Engine Limits or Capped FPS: If both CPU and GPU utilization are relatively low, it means the hardware is waiting on something else. This could be a game engine limitation, poorly optimized code, or an artificial framerate cap like VSync holding performance back.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the EPYC 7351P and GeForce RTX 4090 run Cyberpunk 2077 well?

Yes, the EPYC 7351P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 62 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 27% below the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Cyberpunk 2077?

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.

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Cyberpunk 2077 performance?

For Cyberpunk 2077, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The EPYC 7351P 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.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Cyberpunk 2077?

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.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Cyberpunk 2077?

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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.

6How accurate are these Cyberpunk 2077 FPS estimates for the EPYC 7351P and GeForce RTX 4090?

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.
