Dude, THANK YOU!! I run a Ryzen 7 5800x and RTX 3080 and these settings keep me at 100-120 in most cases, between 80-90 on the lower side. so much better now, I was having some issues with streaming it to twitch, those issues are now gone. YOU'RE A HERO CHOOM
For reference, before I was getting 45-60, sometimes even in the 30s, especially in Dog Town, so sitting over 100 without issues is game changing, staying around 90 even with RT reflections on : )
The correct settings literally make or break the game in my opinion, its amazing how well it looks and plays after following your recommendations, I'd argue it even looks better than just using the stock high / ultra preset, was really sleeping on the dlss sharpness slider. Thank you :)
RESULTS: Ok, as I said below, I was already close to these settings, but I changed everything accordingly to match exactly - except my FOV is on 80, and my sharpness is on 75 (which I actually moved up from 50). The result was that YES, I did get an FPS boost, probably between 5-10, enough to notice in dense areas. As for how the game looks - it actually looks BETTER than it did before. So, with these adjustments, both the look and performance improved. It's all about knowing which settings give you the most bang for the buck, and adjusting accordingly. I really thought I had it locked in, but these recommendations gave me a notable improvement all around. Thank you!!!
wow okay ! Thank a bunch for the video. As for my end of the bargain, I went from around 60-80 to 110-125 fps, with believe it or not better visuals in some areas, because I had some settings tuned lower than what you suggested. My CPU is intel 13600K (running at base speeds) and RTX 3070 (8GB, modestly OC'ed). Cheers !
Okay... i was wondering. Played on 2.0 and was amazed i ran around 80 FPS and at a stable 58-60 no matter what. came back on 2.12 and i am down to 45-55 in city, and while combat or in high density areas i drop to even 30, no changes what so ever.
Running a Core i5-12600K - 32gb RAM - Gigabyte RTX 4070 12GB card with 1440 monitor. Ran with the exact same settings recommended in the video. Benchmark ended up at 166 FPS average.
Well then I'd probably higher up the settings, because many of them actually impact the visuals by a lot. And in cyberpunk it is absolutely okay to run the game with just 120 fps or so
Amazing. I have always had issues with Cyberpunk 2077 graphics. No matter how I tweaked it it looked newer impressive. But after changing the settings according to your recommendation, I was blown away by the improvement in graphics. This has been one of the most important UA-cam videos I have ever watched. Thanks a million.
I've got an i9900k & RTX 3060Ti on a 4K native screen (42" Sony TV). Was getting 55 FPS with recommended settings, RTX off & DLSS Performance. Went through your guide and now getting 66 FPS with DLSS Quality and RTX off (38 FPS with RTX on). Very nice improvement in FPS and image quality. Thanks for posting this guide. Cheers.
Amazing video dude! I've struggled to find that quality/fps sweet spot since this game came out, but these settings were perfect. I'm on a 3060, and went from running 40-50 frames in crowds and I'd hit 60 at best normally, to 90-100 normally, and 70-80 in crowds.
This worked great for me. I'm running a RTX 3070 / I5-13600k combo at 1440p and was averaging 61 fps on the benchmark with my ill considered and badly understood config. Following your settings albeit with contact shadows off I'm now getting 119 fps average, with a lowest of 89, and the experience is great in terms of graphics quality and immersion. So glad to get this nailed just as I'm getting back to the game to experience phantom liberty. Fine work sir, you have another subscriber.
How did you get 120 fps?? I am getting around average fps 44 even after doing all the settings in the vid , I have a Rtx 3050Ti and i5-11400H cpu .. any help?
@@Games_canbe_funny I was getting ~60 after tweaking ultra settings, but got about the same with stock ultra and rt. Hope you've tried out the settings in this vid and you're way over 100 now.
Thank you, dude! I have a 3060ti with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x ... this video was so helpful. I'm running the game flawlessly around 77 fps - 85 fps while it still looks absolutely stunning with the same exact setting selected as your chose for your PC.
I thank UA-cam algorithm for recommending this video. By following this video my FPS went from 65-70fps to now 125-135 fps. Since I didn't fiddle much around with settings when I reinstalled Cyberpunk I just went with the high settings preset with a couple of tweaks like motion blur off etc and it did not turn on DLSS and I was only getting that 65-75fps while at the city now I have stable 125-135 fps sometimes reaching my max 144fps which feel awesome in combat and exploration.
came back to this video after the newest update reverted my settings, glad to say this is still update to date, all i changed was adding the new AMD Super resolution 3 and turned on the new FSR frame generation. went from 110~fps, stuttering, pixelated mess, to 180+ beautiful game. 10/10 video
Commenting from 2024 and this guide has proven informative and extremely helpful. I've got a beast of a setup but it has dramatically improved my Cyberpunk 2077 experience as I'm on my first Corpo run through (2nd game playthrough). Thanks! :)
About the setting "crowd density", it has a very large impact on fps, cause I tested it out with a config, where all NPC's and cars got removed and I got more fps, a lot more... and no stuttering
So the trade off is either a beautiful ghost town, or an ugly living city, this game was really fun until phantom liberty broke it for me, now things just don’t stop popping in and breaking things.
Yeah I started off high than eventually found switching to medium really helped me stay at 60 in areas such as the Mega building safe house but then I realized how much better it was with high so now I just deal with it dipping into the high 40s for brief moments in high populated area it just makes it feel better
That is incredible, and thank you. I am running an i5-12600K with the venerable 1080Ti, (so no DLSS or Ray Tracing) and previously on High settings. This is 1080p, and I was getting about 64fps on benchmark. I do like motion blur so set this back to High. The rest of the changes, I cannot tell the difference. I'm now getting 84fps with 109 high and 64 low on v2.1, too. This is a brilliant video, thank you again.
Great video! Glad you explained what each setting does too. I have a I7-13700 and a 4070. The game auto maxed everything and was getting normally 90-100 frames and down to 60 in more graphical intense areas. Now I get 180 and 140 in intense areas.
good video man i recently upgraded from a 1070 to a 3060ti i had most of the same settings but i tried some u suggested good explaining all the setting and the video wasnt an hour long
Great settings and great video! I just differ on one thing you mentioned about Path Tracing. I've played the game in both rasterized and ray traced modes, the visual upgrade you get with normal ray traced mode is only worth in reflections mostly. But now that I've tried path tracing... OMG it's a totally different experience (visually). Of course you will destroy fps with that setting on, but if you have a nvidia 4070ti or higher, the game is surely playable. I'm running it on that card and getting 50-90 fps without your optimizations! For me the most important thing for any game to look good, is great lighting, and don't get me wrong, cp2077 looks beautiful even in pure rast mode!
100% agree. This is not a game where you need max FPS for latency/accuracy like you would in competitive FPS games. This game is so beautiful and if you have hardware that can run it, it's a crying shame not to use it. I'm lucky to have X3D CPU with 4090, so can max everything (path tracing) and still keep perfectly playable frames. I could care less about getting 20-30 more FPS and losing the visual experience this game has to offer.
Yeah, I’m running a 4070ti on a ryzen 7 2700. Usually have it on ray tracing low when streaming with a fps of 70-90, and without streaming can run ray tracing ultra, even overdrive with 60+ fps.
I had serious trouble finding settings that both look good, are free of stutters and with which the game is stable with my hardware. I started with your settings and the experience is soooo smooth, thanks a lot!
Running CP77 2.2 here with an almost identical hardware setup. Before: avg 89 fps After: avg 144 fps (G-Sync is on so it would likely go higher with it off, v-sync is on in nv control panel) Game looks sharper. Runs much better. Now I can air dash without noticing fps drops. A small trick that fixed 99% of my stutters: Windows power plan set to balanced but set to maximum in nvidia profile for CP77. There's a mod on Nexus that disables autosaves which further eliminates stutters you just have to remember to press F5 a lot. Now game runs buttery smooth. Thank you and thumbs up.
I was using these settings before update 2.1 dropped (running a Ryzen 5 5600G & RTX 3060) and my FPS went from 30-40 to 80-90, then 2.1 seemed to throw my settings out the window. Glad I was able to come back to this!
this video made my gameplay more awesome, i do enjoy looking for the details, and this settings makes them look insane, i do have a RTX 4060 and it goes around 110-130 fps using all the ray tracing on, has been so long for this video but still works with the 2.2 update haha
Killer video breakdown! I was already pretty close in my settings, just from a lot of experimentation, and this video will save people a LOT of that time I used. I run on a 3070ti mobile, so I went a little more on the FPS side, like having contact shadows off. The one that I have off, that I'm immediately going to toggle on, is Lens Flare. I just don't typically turn it on, but the mention of all the neon has me curious to see. Plus, my current FPS floats between high 70s, in the most dense areas, to mid 100s, meaning I have room to add a little more.
Oh my god thank you. This saved my gameplay. I streamed last night and it looked like I was recording on a old Nokia phone through a potato lens. So much better now.
I have rtx 3060 card and I was getting around 50-55fps even with almost all setting being at high. After this video, im getting a stable 60 with even better visuals. Thank you so much dude, you helped me a lot. Hope this helps other people too!
Decided to revisit this game with a new monitor 1440p and used these settings with a RTX3060 & I5-11400f gained 20-30FPS from using the base settings and the game looks great. Many thanks for the guide.
Nice. Just got myself an RTX 4060 OC 8GB and while it's not top of shelf by any means, I'm impressed and happy with the results in Cyberpunk, especially so after following this guide. Thank you!
My FPS shot up from 65fps to 90fps on the "Run Benchmark" test inside video settings in-game. That's a 38% FPS boost! I too have a 3090 GPU like the video poster (as well as a i7-10900k CPU), and I more-or-less did exactly what the video poster did except for maybe 3 options which I did different (put on more demanding of setting). This video is gold to get your FPS to skyrocket while also, surprisingly, making the game look even better! Hats off to FourEyes for posting this!
thanks man! i have a 6400 rx and its difficult to me to find balance between performance and quality. your video has helped me to get a smoother game with cool graphics
Awesome changes. I have been fiddlingwith setting for some time and best i got was 40-50 fps but with your suggested settings i get 70-90. Huge jump dogtown is not a stuttershow anymore. Thx for the video.

Increased my FPS from 40 to 90. I really wanted ray tracing reflections so I added it back after your settings. It brought the FPS down to 50. 😢 Thanks mate!
If you're not playing in a competitive FPS tournament frame rates is not that important, especially in a single player game. It's allot more important to get a stable frame rats. You will feel like it lagging if the frame rate bouncing all over the place even if it's between 60 and 120. Some times it's better to cap the frame rate at a lower Hz than try to get as high number as possible.
It's about responsiveness of the game. Mouse input translating into things happening on the screen. Even if you have nvidia reflex on, it will take at least 2 engine frames to change anything on the screen starting with the mouse input, that's 30ms. If you run at 144hz it's closer to 10ms. The game feels more responsive, and you the player feel more immersed. Always aim for more than 60fps. You can get away with much less in something like a slow paced strategy game, but fast shooty action? Aim for 100 at the very least. It feels much better to play.
@@InternetStudiesGuy It's that the AI is too stupid for you to need to be that good in a single player game. Also most players are not skilled enough to even be able to take advantage of that fact. But the higher resolution and the bigger your screen is the higher hertz you need. However If you play on a laptop with a 17" screen, 4k resolution is a total waist of processing power. You need at least 45" or even 50" before 4k at 120 Hz is required. The human eye can't see the difference between 1080p and 2160p on a small screen anyway.
Well I went from "30fps min to 50fps max" after the changes I made with your recommendations a new benchmark test gave me 67 fps min to 113 fps max. (my system is a 13th gen I-7 10-700 with a 3070 ti GPU) Thank you so much for this video I was struggling and thought WTF is wrong. Just a side note here I have to turn my CPU setting down in Intel Extreme tuning utility too even get the game to run, and this was after 6 weeks of support tech from them, and they eventually gave me this workaround. (oh and another brand new MB with no difference)
A little late to this but I just got into cyberpunk heavy. I’ve got a 4070 Super, i5-12600k, 32 gigs of ram, Frame generation and ray reconstruction on. Runs extremely smooth at an average of 185 fps. With DLAA I’m getting a still solid 130 fps both at 1080p (didn’t beef up my monitor yet.) Thanks for the huge help!
Such a helpful video, thank you! I would add: it seems like you could turn on path tracing in photo mode, because then you're not as concerned about FPS
In my experience since release,decreasing the crowd really buffs up the FPS. + points for running over less people if your driving license is from Brazil.
Excellent! Thanks to this video, a game that has always had poor quality and slow operation is now light and clean as if it were a different game. I wanted to express my gratitude even if I had to use a translation site. Thank you.
a quick advice if anyone want to use the fs3 capabilities on an nvdia card just install the dlsstofs3 mod on nexus i gained around 30-40 fps + just using that mod and activating framegeneration dlss after loading the mode
used to play on a i3 12100f and 6600, Finally swapped ot i5 13600kf and a 4070 super sice it was black friday delas and wow these settings plus the hardware make the game just feel so much better!
I just realized that I don't have to decline a feature. I play with the "Ray Tracing Overdrive" preset with path tracing on and 2K ultra-wide screen resolution and get around 100 FPS. My hardware is good, but not the best (for example, the smallest current CPU). But I chose a 4080 graphics card - and oh my god, is that a beast of a card! I will never regret spending €1500 on it. The good thing is that the card will be enough for the next 10 years (as long as the card doesn't break).
Finally some good settings! I havent been able to optimize this game until now and can finally enjoy it. Hardware Unboxed just lost a follower and you just gained one sir.
THANKS A LOT MAN! RTX 3050 4GB-i5-12500H Laptop went from 35 constant to 52 constanr woah, and no noticeable difference in video quality. PS- I didn't turn the RAY TRACING ON(was losing fps), apart from that everything is same! What an optiization!
You explained how a lot of these settings work in such a clear and understandable way that really demystified how things work for me. Thank you

I could care less about getting 20-30 more FPS and losing the visual experience this game has to offer.
Yeah, I’m running a 4070ti on a ryzen 7 2700. Usually have it on ray tracing low when streaming with a fps of 70-90, and without streaming can run ray tracing ultra, even overdrive with 60+ fps.
I had serious trouble finding settings that both look good, are free of stutters and with which the game is stable with my hardware.
I started with your settings and the experience is soooo smooth, thanks a lot!
Many thanks. You’re the best!
Update: I have the 4060. Fps went from 79 to 97.78 avg.
Great video bro, went from avg, 60 fps to avg, 120
went from 60 on average to 110 with the quality staying around the same, incredible and definately earned a like
Man I love you. I went from around 25-35 fps to 50-60 fps and the game still looks great. Im running a Ryzen 5 3600x and a 2070 super at 1080p
0:06 floating car LOL
you're right bro wtf is that shit 😭😭😭
Running CP77 2.2 here with an almost identical hardware setup.
Before: avg 89 fps
After: avg 144 fps (G-Sync is on so it would likely go higher with it off, v-sync is on in nv control panel)
Game looks sharper. Runs much better. Now I can air dash without noticing fps drops.
A small trick that fixed 99% of my stutters:
Windows power plan set to balanced but set to maximum in nvidia profile for CP77. There's a mod on Nexus that disables autosaves which further eliminates stutters you just have to remember to press F5 a lot. Now game runs buttery smooth.
Thank you and thumbs up.
I was using these settings before update 2.1 dropped (running a Ryzen 5 5600G & RTX 3060) and my FPS went from 30-40 to 80-90, then 2.1 seemed to throw my settings out the window. Glad I was able to come back to this!
In the end of the vid when you said comment ur fps and ur specs, really helps from a person pov who tryna buy the game. gained a sub !
this video made my gameplay more awesome, i do enjoy looking for the details, and this settings makes them look insane, i do have a RTX 4060 and it goes around 110-130 fps using all the ray tracing on, has been so long for this video but still works with the 2.2 update haha
Only vid that was clear and helped me get the best looks
A written list of this would be great. My game settings resets every time I boot it up :p
Great video, the first optimization that´s actually helpful
My fps took a huge tank in dogtown but these settings made it indistinguishable in terms of fps from other areas in the game, thank you so much!
Killer video breakdown! I was already pretty close in my settings, just from a lot of experimentation, and this video will save people a LOT of that time I used. I run on a 3070ti mobile, so I went a little more on the FPS side, like having contact shadows off.
The one that I have off, that I'm immediately going to toggle on, is Lens Flare. I just don't typically turn it on, but the mention of all the neon has me curious to see. Plus, my current FPS floats between high 70s, in the most dense areas, to mid 100s, meaning I have room to add a little more.
Oh my god thank you. This saved my gameplay. I streamed last night and it looked like I was recording on a old Nokia phone through a potato lens. So much better now.
Great video. Increased not only my fps drastically but my game also looks wayyyy better.
Thank you so much my game looks and feels way better
Liked and subbed went from 50 fps to 80 just like that. Thank you good man.
Dude, Monstrously helpful video, much appreciated! 🔥
I have rtx 3060 card and I was getting around 50-55fps even with almost all setting being at high. After this video, im getting a stable 60 with even better visuals. Thank you so much dude, you helped me a lot. Hope this helps other people too!
Decided to revisit this game with a new monitor 1440p and used these settings with a RTX3060 & I5-11400f gained 20-30FPS from using the base settings and the game looks great.
Many thanks for the guide.
Amazing, bro. You helped so much. I gained on average 20 fps as high as 30 . low-end 10. Thank you so much.
This worked a lot for me! TY!!!!
running a 3060 ti and a ryzen 5 3600 was getting 40-50fps with the recommended settings now getting 80-100 fps 👍
Bro you gave me a major FPS boost went from clocking under 30 to 50 better than before but tryna get more
Nice. Just got myself an RTX 4060 OC 8GB and while it's not top of shelf by any means, I'm impressed and happy with the results in Cyberpunk, especially so after following this guide. Thank you!
My FPS shot up from 65fps to 90fps on the "Run Benchmark" test inside video settings in-game. That's a 38% FPS boost! I too have a 3090 GPU like the video poster (as well as a i7-10900k CPU), and I more-or-less did exactly what the video poster did except for maybe 3 options which I did different (put on more demanding of setting). This video is gold to get your FPS to skyrocket while also, surprisingly, making the game look even better! Hats off to FourEyes for posting this!
thanks man! i have a 6400 rx and its difficult to me to find balance between performance and quality. your video has helped me to get a smoother game with cool graphics
Good job yo. I been suffering with about 45 frames a sec and wishing for more. You made this game better for me. Thank you ❤😊
Awesome changes. I have been fiddlingwith setting for some time and best i got was 40-50 fps but with your suggested settings i get 70-90.

I hate you tubers like this

Dude you are the greatest you have no idea the game still looks phenomenal after your settings ❤
Increased my FPS from 40 to 90.
I really wanted ray tracing reflections so I added it back after your settings. It brought the FPS down to 50. 😢
Thanks mate!
This is great seen a few optimisation tutorials now I get a proper boost! And thanks for the ray tracing tips that really make it.
Thanks again
This is one awesome guide to properly running Cyperpunk 2077! Thank you for this man 🙂
omg bro thanks so much!! helped me to get fps from 17 to playable 55
Thanks for the detailed explaining of each setting, great video!
If you're not playing in a competitive FPS tournament frame rates is not that important, especially in a single player game. It's allot more important to get a stable frame rats. You will feel like it lagging if the frame rate bouncing all over the place even if it's between 60 and 120. Some times it's better to cap the frame rate at a lower Hz than try to get as high number as possible.
if you have a pc like his than yeah but i think this helps lower ends pc more, for example my pc goes from around 55 fps to around 75
for shooter games your priority is to target as many fps as possible but for AAA singleplayer games at the very least 60fps and you are good to go
It's about responsiveness of the game. Mouse input translating into things happening on the screen. Even if you have nvidia reflex on, it will take at least 2 engine frames to change anything on the screen starting with the mouse input, that's 30ms. If you run at 144hz it's closer to 10ms. The game feels more responsive, and you the player feel more immersed. Always aim for more than 60fps. You can get away with much less in something like a slow paced strategy game, but fast shooty action? Aim for 100 at the very least. It feels much better to play.
@@InternetStudiesGuy It's that the AI is too stupid for you to need to be that good in a single player game. Also most players are not skilled enough to even be able to take advantage of that fact.
But the higher resolution and the bigger your screen is the higher hertz you need. However If you play on a laptop with a 17" screen, 4k resolution is a total waist of processing power. You need at least 45" or even 50" before 4k at 120 Hz is required. The human eye can't see the difference between 1080p and 2160p on a small screen anyway.
i need fps for immersion cuz i got some sort of mental disorder
Well I went from "30fps min to 50fps max" after the changes I made with your recommendations a new benchmark test gave me 67 fps min to 113 fps max. (my system is a 13th gen I-7 10-700 with a 3070 ti GPU) Thank you so much for this video I was struggling and thought WTF is wrong. Just a side note here I have to turn my CPU setting down in Intel Extreme tuning utility too even get the game to run, and this was after 6 weeks of support tech from them, and they eventually gave me this workaround. (oh and another brand new MB with no difference)
Good guide, got me to a solid 70ish fps 1440p ultrawide w ryzen 9 and 3060ti
A little late to this but I just got into cyberpunk heavy. I’ve got a 4070 Super, i5-12600k, 32 gigs of ram, Frame generation and ray reconstruction on. Runs extremely smooth at an average of 185 fps. With DLAA I’m getting a still solid 130 fps both at 1080p (didn’t beef up my monitor yet.) Thanks for the huge help!
best settings, ty it's really upgraded my fps and my game graphics still good :D
TY for guaid i love it i got 180 fps insted or 30 and image is grate. you earn SUB
Such a helpful video, thank you! I would add: it seems like you could turn on path tracing in photo mode, because then you're not as concerned about FPS
In my experience since release,decreasing the crowd really buffs up the FPS.
+ points for running over less people if your driving license is from Brazil.
I appreciate you!
Excellent!
Thanks to this video, a game that has always had poor quality and slow operation is now light and clean as if it were a different game.
I wanted to express my gratitude even if I had to use a translation site. Thank you.
Absolutely bonkers guide, thank you so much dude!
Wow! This is the first guide that I watched and I gained 30-40 fps, thanks so much dude!
RTX 4060
Ryzen 5 5600
32 GB DDR4 RAM
a quick advice if anyone want to use the fs3 capabilities on an nvdia card just install the dlsstofs3 mod on nexus i gained around 30-40 fps + just using that mod and activating framegeneration dlss after loading the mode
...and with this video YOU earned my SUBSCRIPTION...good one keep 'em comin'...
Adapted your advice and jumped from 31fps to 75fps. Game still looks good in the benchmark tool. Nice video!
Yooo thanks for the details and dislclosures
Well done, it worked for me way better than the default Low Medium High settings. Your recommendations are a real functioning optimozation
I had some improvement, about 20 fps I think and I'm running the game on a 4070 super! Thank you so much for this video, really appreciate it!
Helped my FPS a looot. Thank you!
thx , ur an amazing person u explain everything very clear
used to play on a i3 12100f and 6600, Finally swapped ot i5 13600kf and a 4070 super sice it was black friday delas and wow these settings plus the hardware make the game just feel so much better!
I just realized that I don't have to decline a feature. I play with the "Ray Tracing Overdrive" preset with path tracing on and 2K ultra-wide screen resolution and get around 100 FPS. My hardware is good, but not the best (for example, the smallest current CPU). But I chose a 4080 graphics card - and oh my god, is that a beast of a card! I will never regret spending €1500 on it. The good thing is that the card will be enough for the next 10 years (as long as the card doesn't break).
Thank you brother 🤛🏼
Nice guide dude, well done!! Clearly it does look better to me.
This video actually went so hard my game looks so clear now
Finally some good settings! I havent been able to optimize this game until now and can finally enjoy it. Hardware Unboxed just lost a follower and you just gained one sir.
THANK YOU. I needed something line this.
Thanks for the explanation, i like to know such things.
I’ve got a 3060 ryzen 7 5700x and this really helped my fps
Bro you're life save! GODSPEED to you! 🔥🔥
Thank u this was awesome I went from about 60-80 to 170 with FG with a 4070 super and 7800x3d
Running a 4060ti, got almost 100fps over the ultra with DLSS active
THANKS A LOT MAN!
RTX 3050 4GB-i5-12500H Laptop went from 35 constant to 52 constanr woah, and no noticeable difference in video quality.
PS- I didn't turn the RAY TRACING ON(was losing fps), apart from that everything is same! What an optiization!
