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 62 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 45 to 76 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 23 to 50 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6600 is 8% below recommended, but 50% above minimum for Cyberpunk 2077. The Ryzen 5 5600X is 36% below recommended, but 78% above minimum.
The Radeon RX 6600 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 5 5600X still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $315. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 62 FPS, equivalent to 0.2 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 1440p medium, the Radeon RX 6600 sets the ceiling at about 69 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 5600X has headroom up to 278 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 75% (FPS gap: 209 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 6600 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 5 5600X frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 66% | GPU Limits CPU 66% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 75% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 74% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 75% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 36% below recommended and your GPU is 8% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the Radeon RX 6600 can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 62 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 8% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 36% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $315 ($135 CPU + $180 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 3070 for around $499 (Rank #137 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Cyberpunk 2077, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6600 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 5 5600X still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth 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.
