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 ultra, the Xeon 6724P sets the ceiling at about 74 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 96 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 23% (FPS gap: 22 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon 6724P is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 17% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 23% |
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 Xeon 6724P + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 23% and 94% and GPU utilization between 61% and 100%. Xeon 6724P stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 75% at 1080p to 97% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 71% to 44%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Medium, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 98% usage (97-99%), while the Xeon 6724P stays at 49% (35-63%). 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 71% and GPU 75%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 71% and GPU 95%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 44% and GPU 97%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 72% (53-92%) and GPU 93% (91-95%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon 6724P remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon 6724P and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
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.

Yes, the Xeon 6724P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 74 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 11% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $5271 ($3622 CPU (Rank #482 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Xeon 6724P 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 Xeon Platinum 8571N is a great upgrade option for around $599 (Rank #60 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your Xeon 6724P 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 Xeon 6724P and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
