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: Mild CPU limit
Estimated frame rate: ~106–135 fps (calculated range, not a measured one).
On the estimated figures, the CPU side is lower by about 19.3% in this game at 1080p. The math, from the two figures above: the pair runs at the lower one (~120 fps), and the gap to the faster side is (149 − 120) ÷ 149 ≈ 19.3% 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 justifies a 144 Hz monitor in this game.
Estimate — calculated from 23 measured results in this game, not a direct measurement. Confidence: MEDIUM. The CPU figure is interpolated between Core i7-13700K and Ryzen 7 7800X3D — 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.
Estimated: Balanced pairing
Estimated frame rate: ~94–135 fps (calculated range, not a measured one).
On the estimated figures, the CPU ceiling and the GPU's delivered rate sit within 0.2% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other. The gap is calculated between the two figures above: (faster − slower) ÷ faster.
That range justifies a 144 Hz monitor in this game.
Estimate — calculated from 39 measured results in this game, not a direct measurement. Confidence: LOW. The CPU figure is interpolated between Core i7-13700K and Ryzen 7 7800X3D — the nearest measured CPUs in this game. The GPU figure is interpolated between RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 Ti — the nearest measured GPUs in this game. If reviewers publish a benchmark for the estimated part, a measured verdict replaces this estimate. How estimates work.
Estimated: Strong GPU limit
Estimated frame rate: ~47–47 fps (calculated range, not a measured one).
On the estimated figures, the GPU side is lower by about 60.9% in this game at 4K. The math, from the two figures above: the pair runs at the lower one (~47 fps), and the gap to the faster side is (120 − 47) ÷ 120 ≈ 60.9% 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 Core i7-13700K and Ryzen 7 7800X3D — 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.
