The time has finally come, CD Projekt Red have officially revealed the PC system requirements for Cyberpunk 2077 during the most recent episode of Night City Wire, giving us a chance to see whether now is the time to upgrade to Nvidia's brand new RTX 30 series of graphics cards.
CDPR unfortunately didn't supply any ray tracing requirements, so hopefully we'll get some more info on that soon enough. The good news though, is that it looks like we won't be needing to upgrade our hardware to anything crazy in order to get the best experience.
Though they did not supply any performance expectations, so considering the size and scope of CP2077, we can assume these specs will get us 30fps performance, or if anything at least on the minimum requirements side.
So with that out of the way, let's jump right into the official Cyberpunk 2077 PC system requirements...
Cyberpunk 2077 minimum system requirements
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310
- RAM: 8GB
- GPU RAM: 3GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon RX 470
- HDD: 70GB
- DX: 12
Cyberpunk 2077 recommended system requirements
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
- RAM: 12GB
- GPU RAM: 4GB
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon R9 FURY
- HDD: 70GB
- DX: 12
In order to play Cyberpunk 2077 you will need at least a GeForce GTX 1060 or Radeon R9 FURY graphics card paired with either a Core i7-4790 or Ryzen 3 3200G processor in order to meet the recommended system requirements and run on High graphics settings at 1080p resolution. For your PC setup to completely match the recommended speccs you will also need 12GB of RAM.
For the minimum Cyberpunk 2077 system requirements you will need at least a GeForce GTX 780 or Radeon RX 470 GPU, this should then be coupled with a Core i5-3570K or FX-8310 CPU as well as 8GB of system memory. This setup should then deliver aroun 30fps on Low graphics settings at 1080p resolution.
Make sure that your GPU is able to run DirectX12 in order to play Cyberpunk 2077 smoothly.

No way... A new game that actually has less than 6GB VRAM for recommended settings?
I call BS. This must be some kind of elaborate ruse to get my hopes up before smashing my head against the cold hard reality of me being forced to play anything remotely recent on low and with 30fps.
But if it's legit... thank you CD projekt red
PC Specs
What if they kept delaying it until 2077? Lmao?!
PC Specs
Cyberpunk2077 delayed to 10th December!!!
PC Specs
because cyberpunk 2077 is not a next gen triple A title
PC Specs
This does legitimately surprise me. Like, especially with the scope of this game. I was legitimately thinking this game was gonna be PS5/X:SX exclusive. When I finally get my hypothetical build purchased and made I might actually play this.
PC Specs
Well, I still play at 1080p, so I hope to move this game in high quality, damn I'm falling behind with my processor.
PC Specs
can't wait!i'm glad i can play this
PC Specs
I find the minimum quite high actually, considering it also runs at ps4 and xbox one. which are more like gtx 760.
PC Specs
Noob question but DX12 and Windows 7? I'm missing something
PC Specs
Windows 7 has directx12 support kinda aswell now, if I'm not mistaken it's not eniterly the same but it's enough to get some games working.
PC Specs
It is kind of funny, but MS did add DX12 support to Win7, but not Win8. Because if my memory serves, there was a lot of pressure from devleopers and gamers, I think first one supported was WoW, likely due to pressure from Acitvision Blizzard, plus there might have been pressure from China, where a lot of people were playing from Win7 machines. Plus it incentivizes more developers to use DX12.
PC Specs
I mean Whitcher3 looked stunning and without a big performance need so why not?
PC Specs
This is very nice!
PC Specs
Witcher3 had on recommended req a 770 (later i believe, devs said it was for 1080 30fps high set) but in order to play at 1080 ultra 60fps NO HAIRWORKS stable, you needed a 980 which was the most powerful gpu in the market at that time! I remember having a 970 and at 1080 ultra no hairworks i was hitting 60fps but not stable. 980TI was the first gpu that was able to max out and have 60fps stable.
PC Specs
Happy to see my GPU is still relevant
PC Specs
yay we have the same pc
hug xD
PC Specs
If I can get High settings 60fps @ 1080p I'm happy:-) A wise man once said, Ultra is for screenshots, high is for gaming. That's the way I roll:-)
PC Specs
Ultra is for screenshots, high is for showing off, and medium with 60 fps is for gaming. XD
PC Specs
GTX 1060! Yes I am pre-ordering this. I was not hopeful at first so didn't bother with the pre-order as I couldn't run it but now I am getting it.
This is a testament to CDPR that they can deliver us a fantastic experience and do it in a way that no gamer is left behind. The Witcher 3 looks so amazing and runs smooth as butter on my dated system at 60 fps with Hairworks off and with Shadows and Foliage visibility set to High instead of Ultra.
PC Specs
of course you can run it with a 1060! Keep in mind that the ps4 has equivalent to a GTX 760. The 1060 is like 80% more powerfull!
PC Specs
That just makes me feel good inside
PC Specs
Not sure if lucky but the recommended specs are identical to my rig. Banzai.
PC Specs
My CPU is the same, GPU a little more powerful.
PC Specs
So a RX 570 is needed to run at low 30fps but yet it only takes a Geforce 1060 that is only around 20% faster to not only be able to run at 1080p but 60fps. I'm highly sceptical of that.
PC Specs
It is RX 470 not 570, and nowhere does it say 30fps for low
PC Specs
At least it is a good news for older PC's owners :)
PC Specs
hi can i run it at the lowest settings with decent fps
specs:
i3 6100u 2.3 ghz
amd r5 m335
8 gb ddr3
(it can run gta 5 at low settings @ 60fps)
PC Specs
Sorry, but I dont think so. Maby with some lags on lowest settings...
PC Specs
Guys, now i think of it..
Think about this.. Take witcher 3 as a base, with all expansions is 50gb.. Engine is redengine3..
Cyberbpunk uses redengine4, which should be an upgraded version of version 3, and enables rtx functions.
But because witcher 3 didnt had very high system requirements, i think that now we look back on it, we might could guess that the requirements for non RTX werent that >
