Can I run this game at 1440p?

[Bruno]

I plan on getting it next fall after the DLC gets released. What kind of FPS can I expect at 1440p? My system: i7 12700k, RTX 4070 Ti, 32GB RAM, would be installed on a NVME drive.

I can't enjoy a game below 60 FPS.

There is no such thing as 2k. What are you talking about? 1440p?

Yes, 1440p. Why do I keep reading 2K?

[easy_going]

OK, long story short: RTX4070Ti will easily allow you to play Cyberpunk 2077 in 1440p, everything on Psycho, BUT if you want to see more than 50 frames on average, you will have to run on DLSS quality.

A disclaimer: I don't have 4070Ti, I have 3080 10GB. BUT I was looking extensively at 4080 and 4070Ti to see if upgrade is worth the price. And in case of Cyberpunk 2077 it isn't. :(
If I had 20xx gen then yes, 4070Ti stands around $800, which is what I payed for my 3080. Unfortunately performance boost is too little for me to settle for 4070Ti, and price is a joke in case of 4080.

ps.: people say "2k" because they can't comprehend PC resolutions, and 4k is such a great buzz-word everybody got used to by now. So someone in marketing came up with "2k" to explain what 1440p kind-of is.

You mean I will have to turn DLSS 3 on to reach 60 FPS and above? I saw that option in other games, I have no idea what it does.

Yes, you will have to run DLSS when playing Cyberpunk at 1440p at its highest details.
Here's how it works and why:

- rendering garaphics at lower resolutions gives you better framerate
- therefore your GPU will render the game at lower resolution. You will get more frames.
- before sending this to your monitor, your graphics card will "upscale" the resolution back to what it should be, which in your case is 1440p
- you end up with more frames than if you didn't run the game with DLSS
- profit with no downsides

DLSS 3 has also additional bonuses to it: it gives you anti-aliasing free of charge, and you can additionally switch on frame generation, making your framerate even higher. Although I don't know how good frame generation really is, I never tested it.

With DLSS, you will get around 80 frames per second. With frame generation you'll probably get something like 100?

Sounds promising to me. I'll get the game bundled with the DLC next fall. Hopefully the base game will be on sale by then.

Don't even have a TI and getting 74fps on max settings with dlss.

[egg fu]

yes

[off1cer yo ass]

RTX 4070ti , Ryzen 3900x, 32GB RAM,
DLSS on Performance, high/ultra settings, mostly 110-120 FPS on 1440p

didn't turn frame generation.

Could you provide short video of your graphical settings, then walk around with framerate visible on screen?


EDIT

Here's 2min of footage from me, using Ryzen 5800x3D and RTX3080 for comparison. I don't use any fancy performance measuring tools, just standard FPS counter in the bottom right corner of the screen.
Resolution: 1440p

i7 13700k and 4070ti here, get 140fps on ultra with dlss, 90 on psycho. visually i can't tell the difference between ultra and psycho

Oh that's interesting. My cpu (12th generation) is 12% slower than your, so logically I should get around 79 fps on ''psycho''. Good enough for me. You play at 1440p though?

Interesting to see the ti having that much more fps over the non ti.

Was looking at comparisons before choosing and was only expecting a ~20% difference.

Ah...this could be the difference, 1080 vs 1440. I run my 4070 on a 1440p.

I ran the benchmark again so can update you with numbers. GPU is barely being used, 25% at most? so, not sure why the FPS is so low.

Average FPS - 80.11
Min FPS - 63.93
Max FPS 102.86

Texture quality high
No vsync
FPS max set to 144 (just in case something bugs out and tries to brick the gpu)

DLSS frame generation off
DLSS on, auto, 0.50
Ray tracing yes and ultra

[Bruno]

Well, those FPS aren't that low.

I'm waiting for the RTX 5080
