Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements: Can my PC run it?

List of Cyberpunk 2077 PC requirements

Cyberpunk 2077 is now available worldwide. While there are console ports, the next-generation versions aren't ready yet, so the best way to play is on a beefy PC. Emphasis on beefy.

Here's what you'll need to run Cyberpunk 2077 at minimum specifications, which CD Projekt Red notes is 1080p with Low settings.

• 64-bit Windows 7 or Windows 10
• Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310
• 8 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon RX 470
• DirectX Version 12
• 70 GB space (SSD recommended)

Now, here's the hardware you'll want to get the game to the recommended settings, which is still at 1080p but with High settings overall without ray-tracing:

• 64-bit Windows 10
• Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
• 12 GB RAM
• NVIDIA GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 590
• DirectX Version 12
• 70 GB space (SSD)

Finally, there are the highest-spec options needed if you want to play Cyberpunk 2077 with ray-tracing and Ultra settings at 4K.

• 64-bit Windows 10
• Intel Core i7-6700
• AMD Ryzen 5 3600
• 16 GB RAM
• NVIDIA RTX 3080 or 3090
• DirectX Version 12
• 70 GB space (SSD)

Regardless of where your system falls, if you want to use ray-tracing, we strongly recommend enabling DLSS if your GPU supports it. At the "Quality" setting, you won't lose much detail, and the benefit to your framerate will be extreme.
