Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.

Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for Cyberpunk 2077 by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't offer it, use the level from the previous table.

At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory, hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

Questions
Cyberpunk 2077 at a glance
Which graphics card do I need for Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p?
The publisher recommends: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or Radeon RX 5700 XT or Arc A770. By our conservative estimate, high settings hold 60 frames per second at 1080p with a Radeon RX 7600, and a GeForce GTX 1660 Super gets there with lower settings.
What are the best graphics settings for Cyberpunk 2077 on an RTX 4060?
For 60 frames per second at 1080p, ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick High settings: between 58 and 80 frames per second according to our conservative estimate.
Can I run Cyberpunk 2077 on an RTX 3060?
By our estimate, a GeForce RTX 3060 runs Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on medium settings, between 64 and 88 frames per second.
Can I run Cyberpunk 2077 on an RTX 4060?
By our estimate, a GeForce RTX 4060 runs Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p on high settings, between 58 and 80 frames per second.
How much RAM does Cyberpunk 2077 need?
The publisher recommends 16 GB of RAM (minimum: 12 GB).
How much storage does Cyberpunk 2077 take?

How are these estimates worked out?
The publisher's recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
