Neither a measured verdict nor a direct benchmark covers every figure on this page, so the pair figures below are labelled estimates: calculated from this game's measured results (the measured CPU ceilings and GPU results on the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmarks page), each with its confidence level and the measured parts it is interpolated between. Estimates are badged and styled differently from measured verdicts, and are never presented as measurements. Settings: Ultra preset, raster, no ray tracing, no upscaling, no frame generation. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, flagship GPU (RTX 5090 FE / RTX 4090) - Tom's Hardware CPU reviews at Ultra preset; Ryzen 5 5600X from Gamers Nexus at its High CPU-isolation preset.
Estimated: Strong GPU limit
Estimated frame rate: ~61–61 fps (calculated range, not a measured one).
On the estimated figures, the GPU side is lower by about 37.3% in this game at 1080p. The math, from the two figures above: the pair runs at the lower one (~61 fps), and the gap to the faster side is (97 − 61) ÷ 97 ≈ 37.3% of the faster side's output. That percentage belongs to this game, this resolution and these settings only — no universal bottleneck percentage exists for a pair of parts.
That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.
Estimate — calculated from 23 measured results in this game, not a direct measurement. Confidence: MEDIUM. The CPU figure is interpolated between Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Core i5-14600K — the nearest measured CPUs in this game. If reviewers publish a benchmark for the estimated part, a measured verdict replaces this estimate. How estimates work.
CPU-only figure (estimated ceiling): with a flagship GPU installed, Core i7 12700K is estimated to top out at ~86–109 fps in this game — an estimate calculated from the 23 measured CPU results in this game, not a direct measurement. The CPU figure is interpolated between Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Core i5-14600K — the nearest measured CPUs in this game. GeForce RTX 3060 has no measurement and no supported estimate at 1440p in this game, so there is no pair figure at this resolution.
Estimated: Strong GPU limit
Estimated frame rate: ~19–19 fps (calculated range, not a measured one).
On the estimated figures, the GPU side is lower by about 80.5% in this game at 4K. The math, from the two figures above: the pair runs at the lower one (~19 fps), and the gap to the faster side is (97 − 19) ÷ 97 ≈ 80.5% of the faster side's output. That percentage belongs to this game, this resolution and these settings only — no universal bottleneck percentage exists for a pair of parts.
That range sits under a smooth 60 in this game at the tested preset — expect to trade settings for frame rate.
Estimate — calculated from 23 measured results in this game, not a direct measurement. Confidence: HIGH. The CPU figure is interpolated between Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Core i5-14600K — the nearest measured CPUs in this game. If reviewers publish a benchmark for the estimated part, a measured verdict replaces this estimate. How estimates work.

The pairing figure these options are compared against is the estimate in the card above; every option listed is a measured part.
