Ryzen 9 9950X + RTX 5080 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 5080 was not measured at 1080p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.

1440p

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 104–108 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~104–108 fps on its own

GPU RTX 5080ceiling ~125 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 14.4% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other.

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

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

4K

RTX 5080 was not measured at 4K in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.
