Core Ultra 5 245K + Radeon RX 7900 XT 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

Mild CPU limit

Expected frame rate: 106–106 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core Ultra 5 245Kceiling ~106 fps on its own

GPU Radeon RX 7900 XTceiling ~157 fps on its own

The CPU side is lower by about 32.6%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.

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

1440p

Radeon RX 7900 XT was not measured at 1440p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 50–50 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Core Ultra 5 245Kceiling ~106 fps on its own

GPU Radeon RX 7900 XTceiling ~50 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 52.7%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range sits under a smooth 60 in this game at the tested preset — expect to trade settings for frame rate.

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

CPUs measured in this game that clear this GPU:

Ryzen 7 5700X3D — ceiling ~92 fps (smallest step that removes the limit) · full result
