Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark on GTX 960: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Cyberpunk 2077 FPS with a GTX 960 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 13FPS min 12Unplayable | 7FPS min 6Unplayable | 5FPS min 4Unplayable |
| High | 17FPS min 15Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable | 5FPS min 4Unplayable |
| Medium | 22FPS min 20Poor | 13FPS min 12Unplayable | 5FPS min 4Unplayable |
| Low | 28FPS min 25Poor | 16FPS min 14Poor | 5FPS min 4Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 80% | GPU 88% | GPU 97% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the GTX 960 in Cyberpunk 2077 the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Cyberpunk 2077 at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 960 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 13 | 16 | 19 |
| 1440p | 7 | 9 | 12 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 | 9 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 960 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 960 is what caps the frame rate in Cyberpunk 2077. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 960 Enough for Cyberpunk 2077?
The GTX 960 delivers 13 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Cyberpunk 2077. This GPU is not enough for Cyberpunk 2077 at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
At 1440p it gets 7 FPS and at 4K 5 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
