Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. The story takes place in Night City, an open world set in the Cyberpunk universe.

Cyberpunk 2077 was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: REDengine 4. We test using the High preset, DX12 API.

Unfortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 shows us the exact same thing. Performance is really no better than what we get from a GTX 1060 6GB, and it is actually 13% worse than the 5500 XT 4GB, a GPU which launched at £160 over two years ago. And then when we test at PCIe 3.0, you can knock off another 25% of the 6500 XT’s performance, for a lovely 24FPS experience…
