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.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Quadro sets the ceiling at about 4 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 273 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 99% (FPS gap: 269 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Quadro 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 98% | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 98% | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% | GPU Limits CPU 99% |
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Quadro pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 10% and 29% and GPU utilization between 92% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Quadro carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 99% at 1080p to 100% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 20% to 20%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1080p (Full HD) Medium, the Quadro averages 100% usage (99-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 20% (17-24%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 20% and GPU 99%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 22% and GPU 100%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 20% and GPU 100%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 19% (15-23%) and GPU 96% (92-99%), which keeps Quadro well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The Quadro reaches 100% average load at 1080p (Full HD) Medium while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro will struggle to run Cyberpunk 2077 at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 1 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $434 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $50 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU (Rank #6 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Cyberpunk 2077, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D 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 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.
