Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark on RTX 4090: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Cyberpunk 2077 FPS with a RTX 4090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 131FPS min 85Excellent | 115FPS min 81Good | 86FPS min 75Good |
| High | 170FPS min 110Excellent | 150FPS min 105Excellent | 111FPS min 97Good |
| Medium | 223FPS min 145Excellent | 196FPS min 138Excellent | 146FPS min 127Excellent |
| Low | 288FPS min 187Excellent | 254FPS min 178Excellent | 189FPS min 164Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 38% | CPU 29% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 4090. There is 8% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS 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 RTX 4090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 131 | 164 | 190 | 279 |
| 1440p | 115 | 155 | 190 | 264 |
| 4K | 86 | 125 | 159 | 213 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4090 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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.
With that CPU, the RTX 4090 has headroom to spare in Cyberpunk 2077: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 4090 Enough for Cyberpunk 2077?
The RTX 4090 delivers 131 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Cyberpunk 2077. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 115 FPS and at 4K 86 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
