Cyberpunk 2077 2 0 Optimized Settings 2023

What are the best settings to use for Cyberpunk 2077 2.0?

Despite Cyberpunk 2077’s strong optimization, you can still make tweaks in the settings to see an improvement to FPS if you’re on low-end hardware or just want to get every last frame for your high refresh rate monitor. When you are in the Main Menu, head to Settings and apply the changes below. (Note: Ray tracing settings were left out as they tend to be very demanding, but you can enable them on a powerful enough system.) Testing with a GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, and Corsair 16GB 1599MHz RAM, we saw a jump from 103 FPS on the Ultra preset to 122 FPS with our settings, and without a major drop in video quality. This is evidenced by the screenshots below (right-click each image and select ‘Open image in new tab’ to compare them). There are a few other extra choices you can implement, depending on what brand of GPU you have.

Nvidia

If you have an Nvidia GPU, you can download Nvidia Ansel and do the following:

Inside Nvidia Ansel, go to GeForce Experience > Settings > Photo Mode/Game filter, and enable it Open Cyberpunk 2077, press Alt + Z to open Ansel, and change the settings

For details, use these percentages:

Sharpen - 10% Clarity - 6% HDR Toning - 0% Bloom - 6%

For color, use these percentages:

Tint Color - 0% Tint Intensity - 0% Temperature - 0 Vibrance - 21.6

AMD

If you have an AMD GPU, you can download AMD Adrenalin (Radeon Software) and do the following:

Go to Settings Go to Graphics Change the Graphics Profile to eSports Make sure Image Sharpening is enabled and set to a value above 75%

You can also go back into Cyberpunk’s in-house settings and enable Static FidelityFX CAS. These settings should improve your FPS drastically and set you up for a more enjoyable experience. The graphical intensity of the game shouldn’t differ much from the use of lower settings, and in return, you will find way fewer frame drops, as well as fewer GPU performance issues.

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 revised system requirements

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 brought about a lot of new features to just about every aspect of the game, and performance update is no exception. The most notable difference after the 2.0 patch is an HDD support drop. This means you must own an SSD to play Cyberpunk 2077, as the game no longer supports old-fashioned HDDs. This shift seems to be a trend in all the latest games recently, with Starfield having a similar prerequisite as well. Still, I consider it a worthy investment, as Cyberpunk 2077 is now a much better game than it was at launch. Below is a detailed breakdown of all PC-specific changes regarding graphic settings after the Update 2.0. Looking for more Cyberpunk 2077 content?
