The RTX 4070 Ti is a 12GB VRAM GPU that can easily play Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty at high settings at native 1440p. When you factor in Ray Tracing requirements, upscaling is necessary to achieve a playable framerate. That said, here are the settings that are best tuned for both the base game and the Phantom Liberty DLC.

Note: The RTX 4070 Ti requires a CPU that is at least within the performance tier, such as the Core i5 13600K or Ryzen 5 7600X, to perform at its best. Anything lower than this may encounter CPU bottlenecks, especially with RT workload, and particularly with the Phantom Liberty DLC.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • Ray tracing is optional at 1440p, as enabling it with these settings will likely increase the chances of maxing out the 12GB VRAM. If you are enabling RT, use upscaling as it will reduce the internal resolution, and the VRAM consumption will compensate.
  • Regarding RT, you can start with reflections and then gradually add other parameters.
  • Use upscaling if the performance falls severely when enabling ray tracing. Conduct a trial-and-error comparison between the CNN and Transformer models to determine which one yields the best image quality and framerate, and use that.
