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. Players assume the first-person perspective of a customisable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. 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 Ultra preset, DX12 API.

As for Cyberpunk 2077, here we see some bigger performance improvements from the new AMD GPUs. At 1080p, the RX 6650 XT delivers an 8% uplift in performance when compared to the RX 6600 XT, while the RX 6750 XT is actually 10% faster than the reference 6700 XT. The 6950 XT does see the biggest relative improvements however, with a 12% boost over the RX 6900 XT.

Those trends stay very consistent as we step up to 1440p. The 6650 XT starts to struggle a bit more at this resolution, but it's still 7% ahead of the 6600 XT. Meanwhile, the 6750 XT delivers a solid 56FPS on average, while the 6950 XT is neck and neck with the RTX 3090 Ti at the top of the chart.

Up at 4K, we can see similar improvements from the 6650 and 6750 XT, however both are still well below 30FPS and are definitely not suited to this resolution. The RX 6950 XT is once more 12% faster than the RX 6900 XT, but it falls short of the RTX 3090 Ti, just squeaking ahead of the RTX 3090.
