Cyberpunk 2077 WILL NOT require an i7-8700k and a GTX 1080 ti to run smoothly.

[Mako Ruu]

First of all, let's clear up some misunderstandings.

The systemrequirementslab website is wrong. These are not the predicted system requirements. These are the PC Specs from the demo at E3 2018. The demo was capped at 1080/30fps for consistency while playing for the press. It was an unfinished chunk of the game on rails, and does not represent the final product. CD Projekt RED has not officially released any system requirements.


The E3 2019 Cinematic trailer that we got this year was pre-rendered CGI, and is not in game graphics or engine. Confirmed by Pawel Sasko (lead quest designer for CDPR) it's not even a cut scene in the game. It's a representation of what could happen of the choices V could make in a mission in the game.


Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out on current gen hardware. Including the Xbox One and PS4, confirmed by Alvin Lui (UI designer for CDPR). There are currently no plans in the works to bring the game to next gen consoles, but may be discussed in the future.

CD Projekt RED has stated on multiple occasions that optimization is a number one priority.

Currently, the most popular GPU among gamers is the GTX 1060. Knowing this, CDPR would target a general area where that falls in terms of performance and graphical capability at 1080p to run between 30 and 60 fps. They would NOT cripple their own sales on PC by making the game so demanding that only a fraction of PC Gamers could play it.

I have created (using various sources) a predicted set of both minimum and recommended system requirements, if you'd like to read them.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be a demanding game. Somewhat more than the Witcher 3, but it won't be so far out of the realm of possibility that not even a 1060 or a 580 could handle it at 1080p.

My predicted MINIMUM System Requirements

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K OR AMD FX-8320

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770/960 OR AMD R9 380x (4GB versions)

RAM: 8 GB RAM

VRAM: 4GB

Storage: 70 - 80 GB Hard drive space

These system requirements should allow you to play the game at 1080p with at least 30 - 60 fps on all low settings.

My Predicted RECOMMENDED System Requirements

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K OR AMD Ryzen R5 1600

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660ti/1070 OR AMD Radeon RX Vega 56

VRAM: 6GB

RAM: 16 GB RAM

Storage: 70 - 90 GB Hard drive space

These system requirements should allow you to play the game at 1080p highest settings and maintain 30 - 60 fps.

It's going to be on the current gen consoles. Nuff said.

It will run on any kind of decent machine with a decent gpu if you don't expect miracles.

That's the message I'm trying to get across to people.

A lot of stress and anxiety out there about this game.

[peremptor]

Certain folk will never run out of things to have anxiety over unfortunately mate.

Not sure who's stating a 1080 and other hardware will be minimum requirements, but you do seem pretty stressed out. Many posts out there, mine included, are using the specs from the demo as a gauge for what kind of hardware we can expect to be able to enjoy the game on when it comes out.

Good list for minimum sys requirements though, appreciate the work you put into it.

That's kind of what I'm saying, though. The 1080 ti is not a good gauge of what you'll need to enjoy the game. And people hearing that will become upset if they maybe have a 1050 ti, or an RX 570. Or an older 970.

Using the 1080 ti as a gauge is like using a formula one race car to time yourself on a drive to the grocery store.

The 1080 alone, agreed, there are other factors that come into play and it's hard to say what Recommended specs will be specifically since none of us, as far as I know, work at CD Project Red. The idea is to give ones self some leeway to keep your machine running through whatever updates and games get pushed out as the years move forward. I can see the 1080 getting closer to the 1060 in costs in the next 1-2 years, unless it's already here and in that case, all the better for the consumer :)

Edit: Wow, even Newegg, in my opinion one of the more expensive online retailers has a Gigabyte 1080 for $469.

Not really my ideal price range, but it's getting there.

*doing a quick search for the costs on hardware real quick*

That's the thing. Not everyone can afford updates. That's why I want to help alleviate some of the stress.

I just spent $300 on a GTX 1660 ti, and it was already stretching my budget further than I should have let it. Money is tight these days for a lot of people.

I still might buy some more RAM before the game releases, though.

It never stops man, just keeping up with the hardware changes can be exhausting at times. Nice find on the graphics card! By the time the game comes out, I'm curious to see what hardware costs will be like, just to seal the deal.

Obviously we shouldn't be using dated specs from last year's demo.

We need to use the specs for this year's demo which means the irrefutable minimum requirement is an 8700k, Titan RTX, and 32 GB Ram. /s

Seriously though I hope people aren't stressing over this, it will run on most modern systems and 10 months is a long time for new hardware to come out and good hardware to become cheaper, I'll probably pick some stuff up on black friday and leave it at that.

A lot of people are worried they are going to spend hundreds of dollars in upgrades, when their computers are more than adequate.

That's all I'm trying to help people with.

Thanks for the detailed thread. I've been seeing too many 'My spec predictions' threads that have been aiming way too high. This isn't going to be Metro: Exodus on Ultra settings w/ Physics and hairworks.

Already said this, but I'm glad you put the effort into detailing the predicted specs for minimum system requirements. I'll admit that it would take me forever to come to some conclusion about what might run at minimum settings. Taking all of this with a grain of salt will absolutely help once the game's official specs get released. I'm drunk right now, so I hope this made sense.

You're good, brother.

The official system requirements probably won't be released until early next year.

i9 9900K@5Ghz with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM, currently using a 1080ti ftw3 OC'd at 2Ghz but i'll be waiting for Nvidia's 7nm Ampere cards before i play Cyberpunk, i want Ray Tracing and high refresh at 2K minimum but i'll accept 60fps in 4K depending on what cards come out. 10 months is plenty of time to save up 2000 schmeckles for the next Titan or 3 series, current 20XXRTX cards still struggle with ray tracing and dont offer enough of a performance increase to warrant my attention..

[gwynbLeidd]

Hope it'll work on my 1060 Mobile.I probably won't be able to upgrade by then, i'm poor lol.
