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 129 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 102 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 59 to 105 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Cyberpunk 2077. The EPYC 9115 is 41% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-12700).
The EPYC 9115 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 5090 still has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $3426. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 129 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 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 1080p low, the EPYC 9115 sets the ceiling at about 259 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 could reach 551 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 53% (FPS gap: 292 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your EPYC 9115 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 5090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 46% | CPU Limits GPU 46% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 45% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 48% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 45% |
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 EPYC 9115 paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 102 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 41% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3426 ($726 CPU + $2700 GPU). Your EPYC 9115 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the EPYC 9375F is a great upgrade option for around $5306 (Rank #5 for value).
Your EPYC 9115 is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Cyberpunk 2077 performance right now. CPU 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 EPYC 9115 and GeForce RTX 5090 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.
