Cyberpunk is still the game that decides how much GPU you actually need. The measured numbers below are for the card alone; the builds under them are what the engine recommends around it.
| Graphics card | 1440p high | 1440p ultra | 2160p high | 2160p ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Eagle OC 8G | 61 | 44 | — | 24 |
| ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 OC | 61 | 44 | — | 24 |
| Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Twin Edge OC 12GB | 92 | 70 | — | 38 |
| PNY GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC Verto | 118 | 96 | — | 52 |
| ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER OC | 118 | 96 | — | 52 |

Ray tracing is the whole story. With it off, a mid-range card holds 1440p comfortably; with path tracing on, the same card falls off a cliff and no CPU upgrade brings it back. VRAM matters more than raw shader count at 1440p and above — 8 GB cards start swapping textures where 12 GB cards do not. The CPU only becomes the limiter below 1440p, where frame rates climb past what the game's crowd simulation can feed.
