Similarly, the performance on consoles will be universal, but the game will have enhanced performance on PC. Thus, it is normal for PC players to expect nothing but the best from Cyberpunk 2077.

Players with high-end setups can enjoy the full gameplay with NVIDIA DLSS 2.0 and Ray Tracing. Simultaneously, Cyberpunk 2077 will also require DirectX 12 to run smoothly.

PC specifications required to run Cyberpunk 2077

The official description mentioned that Cyberpunk 2077 is both graphics and processor intensive. Thus, players have to make sure that these components meet or exceed the minimum requirements.

Likewise, the minimum requirement is crafted with low settings, keeping in mind that there are several players with 1080p gaming setups.

CDPR have been trying their best to make Cyberpunk 2077 an all-inclusive game. However, it is going to be quite strenuous for low-end devices.

Note: These are the minimum requirements for the game, and thus players should target the optimal specifications.

The Minimum specifications required for Cyberpunk 2077:

Processor - Core i5-3570k or AMD FX-8310
GPU - GTX 780 3GB or Radeon RX 470 4 GB
Memory - 8 GB RAM
VRAM - 3 GB
Storage - 70 GB (Solid-State Drive recommended)
Operating System - Windows 7 or Windows 10 64-bit

Players purchasing the brand new GTX 1650 Super or Radeon RX 5500 XT will get a similar performance. However, it is essential to note that GTX 1650 will only have 4GB of VRAM.

Thus, it is advisable to purchase the GTX 1660 Super, not only because of the 6GB VRAM but also since it's faster than the GTX 1060 graphics card.
