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, FSR disabled, DX12 API.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a punishing test using Ultra settings but the 4060 still manages 72FPS on average at 1080p. That makes it 5% slower than the RX 7600 while it's just a hair faster than the RX 6650 XT. Against the 3060, we're looking at a 16% uplift.

Performance falls back slightly at 1440p however, as a result of the narrow memory bus, and the 4060 is now 10% slower than the RX 7600. It's also bested by Intel's Arc A750, though the margins are very slim. Perhaps most disappointing is the fact the 4060 is now only 8% faster than its predecessor, the RTX 3060.
