When it comes to graphical quality, Cyberpunk 2077 has become a benchmark for comparing the limits of different technical components. Developed by CD PROJEKT RED, this game had a very rough start due to being released as an incomplete technical mess. However, over the years, the developers have continued to update the title and have made it a standard among other games. 

With the upcoming launch of Nvidia’s RTX 5060, gamers can enjoy a complete graphical treat. The RTX 5060 card features DLSS 4 technology, which utilizes AI-generated frames to provide a much higher framerate compared to previous-generation graphics cards. Combined with its low price, the RTX 5060 becomes a superb choice for anyone looking to build a budget PC.

Best Settings for Cyberpunk 2077 With RTX 5060

The RTX 5060 isn’t the best of the entire series, but it still holds up quite well for Cyberpunk 2077. The game can run smoothly with a stable 60–80 fps at 1080p resolution. However, do not expect maximum quality settings to be possible when playing with Ray Tracing, as it takes a heavy toll on the 8 GB VRAM. You can also achieve a similar framerate while playing at 1440p, though with lowered settings.

  • These settings should give you an average of 60–80 fps if you play with Ray Tracing enabled. Ray Tracing is what makes this game visually stunning and unique, especially with the reflected lighting in Night City.
  • If you want a higher framerate, we recommend turning off Ray Tracing while keeping the rest of the quality settings the same. Doing so can easily boost your framerate by another 20–40 fps.
