Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 was launched to PC in December of 2020 based on the REDengine 4. Cyberpunk 2077 is well known for its continual addition of advanced Ray Tracing and Path Tracing features, including DLSS 4, Ray Reconstruction, and Frame Generation. It also features a highly detailed geometric environment, advanced shadowing and lighting, and global illumination. We are utilizing the game’s built-in graphics presets for selecting graphics quality modes. We will be using the built-in benchmark, but utilizing Frameview to capture 1% Lows.
Native Resolution
In Cyberpunk 2077, we are running at 1080p native resolution with “Ultra” settings enabled, which are the game’s highest settings without Ray Tracing. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB does well in this game, providing over 100FPS average at native resolution, meaning upscaling isn’t needed to enjoy it. That said, if you wanted to use FSR 4 Upscaling, it is possible and will boost performance by nearly 20%. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB is 10% slower than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB. Overclocking the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB improves performance by 4%.
Ray Tracing w/ FSR Upscaling
Of course, we can enable Ray Tracing in Cyberpunk 2077, and so here we have enabled the “Ultra” Ray Tracing setting at 1080p with FSR 4 Quality Upscaling enabled. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB easily allows a playable experience with Ray Tracing at 1080p in Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR 4 Upscaling enabled. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB provides 79FPS average. The XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB is 9% slower than the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, however. Overclocking the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition 8GB improves performance by 1%.
