Minimum Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements
Below are what CD Projekt Red have deemed the minimum system requirements for Cyberpunk 2077. This means running the game at 1080p on Low graphics settings.
OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or 64-bit Windows 10 DirectX Version: DirectX 12 Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310 Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 3GB or AMD Radeon RX 470 RAM: 8 GB Disk space: 70 GB HDD (SSD recommended)
The fact that Cyberpunk 2077 can run on such a machine is fairly impressive, and explained in part by the fact that the game seems to default to targeting a modest 30FPS.
Recommended Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements
Now let’s turn to CDPR’s recommended system requirements for Cyberpunk 2077, which they’ve stated were selected for gaming at 1080p on High graphics settings.
OS: 64-bit Windows 10 DirectX Version: DirectX 12 Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB or AMD Radeon R9 Fury RAM: 12 GB Disk space: 70 GB SSD
Once again, these specs are quite a bit lower than many were expecting, quite possibly due to the low target framerate. For details on how to beef up your FPS, be sure to take a look at Katharine’s article on Cyberpunk 2077’s best PC settings to improve performance.
Cyberpunk 2077 ray tracing system requirements
If you want to see the effects of ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077, then you’ll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 at the absolute minimum. Even this is unlikely to be sufficient for higher frame rates and resolutions, so really the GeForce RTX 2080 or even the RTX 30 series cards are the best choice - and, of course, a top-tier processor and power supply to help your choice of card reach its full potential. Recommended PC specs for Cyberpunk 2077 1080p Medium Ray Tracing:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit DirectX Version: DirectX 12 Processor: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (or RX 6800) RAM: 16 GB Disk space: 70 GB SSD
Recommended PC specs for Cyberpunk 2077 1440p Ultra Ray Tracing:
OS: Windows 10 64-bit DirectX Version: DirectX 12 Processor: Intel Core i7-6700 or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (or RX 6800 XT) RAM: 16 GB Disk space:70 GB SSD
