System requirements

[D = b² − 4ac]

Hello, on the main game page it says that the system requirements:
processor: Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD FX-8310
random access memory : 8 GB ОЗУ
video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon RX 470

When completely different ones are written for phantom liberty:
processor: Core i7-6700 or Ryzen 5 1600
random access memory: 12 GB ОЗУ
video card: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB or Radeon RX 580 8GB

how will it work?

The new district as part of phantom liberty and its missions will be more much more demanding than the base game. They are ditching last gen consoles and aren't releasing the DLC on it stating they are pushing what they can do with the DLC. So depending on your rig you may run the base game well, but struggle to run the new expansion content.

That's why the requirements are significantly higher for the DLC.

Well, I guess I'm out then until ultra potato mods drop.

I played it on a GTX 1080. Now I have a RTX 3060 :)

I was planning on a complete system upgrade late next year...so It looks like I'll be moving that up to hit summer sales at my favorite shop. I just hope my upgrade lasts for a full five years...that's my usual schedule for upgrading.

This is honestly what they should've done for the base game.

its not only the addon, its for the entire game after an update

Exactly, update will screw people with lower specs, that could run the game decently enough.

Question is, if you got a pc between cyberpunk and phantom liberty system requirement, after the update (even without the dlc, i guess we WILL got another update), will you still be able to launch the base game, even in potato mode (and maybe base game + dlc but without garanties and without support), or nothing at all. No dlc and no base game.

old requirements are tied to the PS4 generation. it has to be scaled THAT low for parity.

now the game is un-hindered and is better for it, we can safely IGNORE the old requirements, but i would not recommend anything lower than a ryzen 5 3600. game is a CPU HOG already.

Cyberpunk never really ran well on PS4 or low end min PC system reqs.

30-45 FPS, low settings on PC was not actually cool, may as well have had a console for gaming it would have been largely the same experience.

Due to the newer consoles having the NVME drive much closer to the GPU and RAM, well the new consoles can stream assets faster than most if not nearly all PC's now. The way to overcome that on PC is simply have enough RAM/VRAM so that the assets are already in the buffer waiting for use and of course have an NVME drive on your PC.
So you need about 32 gigs of RAM and 11+ gigs of VRAM, just to play optimal in 1080p and some 1440p might be possible for some time.

CPU wise, almost all games are going to use about 8 cores because the game devs are allowed to use up to 8 cores on the new consoles, so expect that from here on out.

Yes and no.
Yes, you maybe able to potato mod the basegame after the patch (1.7) but that patch requires you to have the new minimum specs.
So no....you may not be able to run the base game on potato mods, since even the base game is getting upgraded.

Recommend you do what I'm doing. (Already did, actually XD. I'm still playing patch 1.61)
Set steam to "only update when I start the game" in settings, then make a shortcut to 'Cyberpunk2077.exe' on your desktop.
Use this to start your game, bypassing both steam launching the game and the gog launcher.
This stops it patching you.

Back up your 1.6 (1.62?) version of the game before letting it patch to 1.7
(Just copy the whole Cyberpunk folder to another harddrive or external if you have space. Does not matter if it's a SSD if it's just a backup)

If 1.7 fubars your ability to play, this way you have the older version to go back to.
I'm going to look into a smallish SSD Internal drive just for Cyberpunk.
That way, I can still play the 1.61 version, and maybe also the 1.7.
Cheaper than upgrading my 1660 graphics card lol....

The new System Requirements make no sense and are a jumbled mess. Saying you need a Ryzen 9 7900X for 4K 60 is like saying you need a golden table spoon to enjoy good tea.

Then for non RT 4K 60 Ultra settings they list you need 12GB of VRAM, but then list a RTX 3080 which has 10GB, and a RX 7900 XTX as a counterpart... How about a 6900XT, because the 7900XTX eats both the 3080 and the 3090 in raster like a breeze.

Then for RT Minimum (1080p 30) they list a RTX 2060, RX 6800XT & Arc A750. Again utter nonsese. The 6800XT on RT low 1440p (not 1080p) runs around 70 frames average, neither the RTX 2060 nor the A750 come close to that.

Seems like they just threw some random GPUs and CPUs in there when they asked around the office who owns what and how it plays on their system. The only thing that makes sense with these new requirements is ditching mechanical drives.

You need to understand that the original minimum requirements were a big fat lie.You can't even reach consistent console-like 30fps on a CPU like i5 3570K.Check some benchmarks on youtube.8gb RAM is a lie too.Cyberbug can consume more than 10 gigs in 1080p.Updated specs are more adequate for this game/port(cuz technically it's a poorly optimized console port)
