  2. Perfecting Cyberpunk 2077 Performance: Overview

Bad performance with Cyberpunk 2077 or even stutter? Don’t worry, in this guide we will show you the perfect PC settings that improve your performance, without making the game look worse!

Our test environment: The performance of Cyberpunk 2077 in our test results is based on an internal resolution of 1440p. We chose this because it represents the sweet spot between Full HD and 4K gaming. The deviations are marginal, however.

It should be said that the general performance should improve even further by February 2021 with two patches announced by CD Projekt Red.

The Perfect Settings for Optimal Performance in Cyberpunk 2077

In the following listing, we will show the settings in the graphics options of Cyberpunk 2077 including the percentage improvement. At the end of the guide, you will find the perfect Cyberpunk 2077 settings in a short overview.

The following images are sorted from left to right (Low – Ultra). But first, here are the pre-sets of the game:

Cyberpunk-2077-Pre-Set-Low
Cyberpunk-2077-Pre-Set-Medium
Cyberpunk-2077-Pre-Set-High
Cyberpunk-2077-Pre-Set-Ultra

1. Screenspace Reflection

cyberpunk-2077-screenspace-reflections
Left Low. Right Ultra.
Low Medium High Ultra Psycho
+13,6 % +8,9 % +3,8 % 00% -32,6 %

Recommended settings: We recommend low here to increase Cyberpunk 2077 performance tremendously. In the picture above you can see that the graphic quality is not affected by this. We urgently have to advise against the “Psycho” setting here, as this is as demanding as ray tracing, but hardly looks any better.

2. Ambient Occlusioncyberpunk-2077-ambient-occlusion

Low Medium High
+7,1 % +3,7 % 00 %

Recommended setting: The same applies to Ambient Occlusion. Visually they hardly differ, but on low, they give you a few frames on top.

3. Volumetric Cloudscyberpunk-2077-volumetric-clouds

Low Medium High Ultra
– +10,84 % +8,64 % 00 %

Recommended setting: Can you see a difference in the picture above? We neither. It should be said, however, that the clouds on low or no longer treated as 3D objects, but as sprites. Medium is therefore the best option!

4. Colour Precision

off
Medium High
+2,1 % 00 %

Recommended setting: Since it makes no visible difference at all, you should turn it off to get some extra performance in Cyberpunk 2077. As the name suggests, this option is intended to improve color accuracy. However, it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

5. Local Shadow Quality

cyberpunk-2077-shadows

Low Medium High
+0,05 % +0,00 % 00 %

Recommended setting: This graphics effect uses low-resolution shadows already at the highest settings. On the lower settings it looks
