Ryzen 7 7800X doesn't exist

[nekov4ego]

Recommended AMD CPU for Phantom Liberty is a non-existent CPU. Did I miss something?

Think you missed something. :)

Thanks but this is the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. The 3D V cache is the distinguishing feature of all of these variants, e.g. 5800X vs 5800X3D, and a pretty significant omission.

If it were this then it would be nonsense to have it next to an i7-12700 since the 7800X3D would arguably perform better than an i7-13700 even ...

I think they could have meant 5800X but it's hard to tell. It seems very illogical and a poor effort.

Edit: Fixed typo I made on the CPU model myself

Ah, with you now. Yeah, you're quite correct. I assumed that they were just leaving off the 3d .

Then they should have said 7800x3D and not simply 7800x.

What confuses me is how they recommend a rtx 3080 or 7900 xtx for 4k ultra when a 7900xtx is much more powerful.

Yeah its not out, sloppy. Even better, on gog.com it reads as "AMD Ryzen 37 7800X"
zebedees is the kind of person when asked about rig's cpu.. '..uh its an i7'

lol that must be the SKU from actual 2077

They are recommending "this is the minimum to get this result", not "this is the best of the best to get this result".

That doesn't explain how a 7900 xtx is needed to match the performance of a rtx 3080 when it should be way faster. If they said 6800 xt then I could understand.

I'm more the kind of person who assumes that something like a Ryzen 37 is a typo and doesn't really sweat it. :)

No, but "Optimized for nVidia" is likely what explains that..

No, it's not the Ryzen 7 7800X3D that they're referring to. My guess is that was either the R7-5800X or R7-7700X..

What's really stupid is the fact that they listed the R9-7900X when its gaming performance is essentially identical to the R5-7600X (3% faster) and is literally identical to the R7-7700X for the next level.

The CPU requirements listed are an absolute joke because in CP2077, there is an absolute litany of CPUs than can achieve over 100FPS IN CP2077, going all the way back to the R5-3600X from 2019. You can see that in the TechPowerUp review of the i7-11700KF:
TechPowerUp i7-11700K 720p Gaming Chart [tpucdn.com]

There's also a massive log-jam of EIGHTEEN CPUs that can do between 143FPS and 176FPS starting with the R7-5700X and ending with the R9-7900X. That's less than an average of 2FPS uplift per CPU which means that they probably chose their recommendations with a dartboard and a blindfold. Just look at this clusterfrack:

It's pretty clear that CD PROJEKT RED is paying whoever does this job in bananas, because when you pay in bananas, you get monkeys. ;)

These are the new recommendations after the game overhaul. Since the overhaul hasn't been released yet it's a hard to do anything other than speculate about whether they're overkill or not.

These are the recommended specs on the expansion store page.

RECOMMENDED:
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor: Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or Radeon RX 5700 XT or Arc A770
DirectX: Version 12
Storage: 70 GB available space
Additional Notes: Storage: 70 GB SSD

So it does look like it was all just a typo for the 7800X3D as I suggested.

Thank you!

That's a rather wild discrepancy between the Intel CPU and AMD but looking forward to seeing some test results and comparisons online.

i got a question out of curiosity.
looking at the specs on the expansion does a intel core i5 9600KF 3.70GHz work or do i REALY NEED a new CPU?

cuss im kinda scared that i wont be able to play ither the base game or the expansion at this point after the expansion hits

You'll probably (with a high likelyhood) still be able to play it, but if you're worried and want peace of mind, stop updates of cyberpunk, and ask again once the 1.7 patch is released. People will know for sure then.
