CyberPunk 2077 – 40 GPUs Benchmarked!

This likely doesn’t come as much of a surprise, given that the most expensive and high-end graphics cards are at the top and the oldest and less expensive cards are sitting around at the bottom. However, it how close to many of the cards are that surprised us the most. Cards that are a bit faster than others at 1080p can then be slower than the next card in 1440p or 4K. It seems to mostly come down to VRAM though, which is what gives the RTX 3090 cards an advantage at 4K, even if they’re easily matched at 1080p.
The best from AMD and Intel had no trouble with 1080p, scoring around 130 FPS each. It is a visually demanding game to run though, and a GTX 1080 or 1660 Ti was required to get around 60 FPS using High settings. The same for AMD, requiring the VEGA 64, with the older RX 5xx series cards just lacking the power to get up to 60 FPS.

The coolest advantage of many of the modern Nvidia graphics cards has to be DLSS. This renders the game at a lower resolution, then uses an algorithm that has been trained on that specific game using AI to upscale the image to the higher resolution. The end results speak for themselves, with a large uptick in performance across the board. Keep in mind, this is in 4K mode using High preset and quality DLSS. Even the bottom of the charts, with the RTX 2080 Super scoring around 10 FPS more than it did without DLSS.
However, it’s not until we get to the 3060 Ti that we see 60 FPS on the board. That card only scored 31.48 FPS with DLSS off, virtually doubling its FPS with it enabled!
Of course, AMD have their own similar feature in the works, and we look forward to testing that soon enough too.
