As recently promised, CD Projekt RED has revealed the detailed hardware requirements of Cyberpunk 2077 on the PC. The minimum and recommended configuration for resolution 1080 p (1920 x pixels) we met in mid-September. On the one hand, many players were pleasantly surprised by the relatively low requirements, but on the other hand felt disappointed. Companies like Ubisoft are starting to get used to specs that also include higher resolutions and graphics settings, so the same was expected from one of the most anticipated games in recent years. Since yesterday it has gotten again loud about the upcoming RPG and CD Projekt RED has decided to forge the iron while it’s hot, providing the updated hardware requirements of Cyberpunk 2080.

We learned the detailed hardware requirements of Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt RED has provided the recommended configurations for the resolution 1440 pi 4K and ray tracing. You need the GeForce RTX 3080 for maximum detail.

Cyberpunk 2077 with a rich list of graphics settings in the PC version

Creators released the hardware requirements of Cyberpunk 2077 for resolution 1440 pi 4K and ray tracing. The minimum and recommended configurations refer to low and high details in Full HD resolution. Now it is revealed that the Ultra settings in 1440 pi 4K you will need a processor comparable to those recommended for 1080 p, but paired, of course, with a much more powerful graphics card. I’m talking about GeForce RTX 2060 and Radeon RX 5700 XT to 1440 p and GeForce RTX 2080 S, RTX 3070 and Radeon RX 6800 XT to 4K. To run Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing set to Ultra ( Psycho?) Will be required, depending on the resolution, a GeForce RTX graphics card 3070 and RTX 3080. Here are the full PC hardware requirements for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC:

Gameplay Cyberpunk 2077: Goodbye Night City Wire with a bang

According to the studio CD Projekt RED, to enjoy the effects based on ray tracing on medium settings, all you need is the weakest GeForce from the RTX family, RTX 2060 with 6 GB of VRAM. The game will offer four effects based on ray tracing, one of which, lighting, will have several degrees of quality, the rest will have to be turned off in case of lower performance. We remind you that ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 which is based on on the DXR standard, it should work on both Nvidia GeForce RTX cards and the newly released Radeons RX 6000. True, the example of Godfall shows that it does not have to be that way. New AMD graphics systems are missing in the above list, but the reason may be prosaic: Cyberpunk 2077 with RT was not optimized for Radeon RX 6000. How the revealed hardware requirements of Cyberpunk 2077 will translate into reality, we will see 10 December this year.
