Core i9-13900K + RTX 5090 in Cyberpunk 2077

Every figure below is a measurement aggregated from published review charts — the CPU's frame-rate ceiling and the GPU's frame-rate ceiling in this game, combined. Settings: Ultra preset, raster, no ray tracing, no upscaling, no frame generation. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, Ultra preset, flagship GPU (RTX 5090 FE / RTX 4090), Tom's Hardware CPU reviews.

1080p

RTX 5090 was not measured at 1080p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

1440p

Strong CPU limit

Expected frame rate: 114–114 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core i9-13900Kceiling ~114 fps on its own

GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~182 fps on its own

The CPU side is lower by about 37.2%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range justifies a 144 Hz monitor in this game.

Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.

4K

RTX 5090 was not measured at 4K in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.
