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 4k medium, the Radeon RX 6950 XT sets the ceiling at about 50 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 130 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 62% (FPS gap: 80 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 6950 XT 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 43% | GPU Limits CPU 43% | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 45% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 53% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 57% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 6950 XT can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 60 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 70% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 0% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1234 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $850 GPU (Rank #71 Value)). Your Radeon RX 6950 XT 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 4090 for around $1599 (Rank #77 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your Radeon RX 6950 XT 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Cyberpunk 2077 supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your Radeon RX 6950 XT is compatible with FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 Radeon RX 6950 XT 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.
