Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 BEST Settings for FPS & Quality (In-Depth Optimization Guide)

The correct settings literally make or break the game in my opinion, its amazing how well it looks and plays after following your recommendations, I'd argue it even looks better than just using the stock high / ultra preset, was really sleeping on the dlss sharpness slider. Thank you :)

Thank you so much, went from 60 to 100+ fps after these settings with quality staying pretty much the same

Update 2.1 reduced my performance by 60%. Going default helped a little bit this video made it run like butter. Thank you!

RESULTS: Ok, as I said below, I was already close to these settings, but I changed everything accordingly to match exactly - except my FOV is on 80, and my sharpness is on 75 (which I actually moved up from 50). The result was that YES, I did get an FPS boost, probably between 5-10, enough to notice in dense areas. As for how the game looks - it actually looks BETTER than it did before. So, with these adjustments, both the look and performance improved. It's all about knowing which settings give you the most bang for the buck, and adjusting accordingly. I really thought I had it locked in, but these recommendations gave me a notable improvement all around. Thank you!!!

You explained how a lot of these settings work in such a clear and understandable way that really demystified how things work for me. Thank you

wow okay ! Thank a bunch for the video. As for my end of the bargain, I went from around 60-80 to 110-125 fps, with believe it or not better visuals in some areas, because I had some settings tuned lower than what you suggested. My CPU is intel 13600K (running at base speeds) and RTX 3070 (8GB, modestly OC'ed). Cheers !

Amazing video dude! I've struggled to find that quality/fps sweet spot since this game came out, but these settings were perfect. I'm on a 3060, and went from running 40-50 frames in crowds and I'd hit 60 at best normally, to 90-100 normally, and 70-80 in crowds.

This worked great for me. I'm running a RTX 3070 / I5-13600k combo at 1440p and was averaging 61 fps on the benchmark with my ill considered and badly understood config. Following your settings albeit with contact shadows off I'm now getting 119 fps average, with a lowest of 89, and the experience is great in terms of graphics quality and immersion. So glad to get this nailed just as I'm getting back to the game to experience phantom liberty. Fine work sir, you have another subscriber.

Absolutely best video. Went from 33fps avg to 98 in bench before and after. Game still looks incredible.

Thanks for the detailed explaining of each setting, great video!

Killer video breakdown! I was already pretty close in my settings, just from a lot of experimentation, and this video will save people a LOT of that time I used. I run on a 3070ti mobile, so I went a little more on the FPS side, like having contact shadows off. The one that I have off, that I'm immediately going to toggle on, is Lens Flare. I just don't typically turn it on, but the mention of all the neon has me curious to see. Plus, my current FPS floats between high 70s, in the most dense areas, to mid 100s, meaning I have room to add a little more.

I spent so long trying to work out the best settings and failed. Wish I'd found this video earlier, it was super helpful. Thanks for making it.

My FPS shot up from 65fps to 90fps on the "Run Benchmark" test inside video settings in-game. That's a 38% FPS boost! I too have a 3090 GPU like the video poster (as well as a i7-10900k CPU), and I more-or-less did exactly what the video poster did except for maybe 3 options which I did different (put on more demanding of setting). This video is gold to get your FPS to skyrocket while also, surprisingly, making the game look even better! Hats off to FourEyes for posting this!

I was using these settings before update 2.1 dropped (running a Ryzen 5 5600G & RTX 3060) and my FPS went from 30-40 to 80-90, then 2.1 seemed to throw my settings out the window. Glad I was able to come back to this!

Awesome changes. I have been fiddlingwith setting for some time and best i got was 40-50 fps but with your suggested settings i get 70-90. Huge jump dogtown is not a stuttershow anymore. Thx for the video.

so easy to follow along with thank you so much

I appreciate you! <3 -Looks and feels amazing!

This worked a lot for me! TY!!!!

This is great seen a few optimisation tutorials now I get a proper boost! And thanks for the ray tracing tips that really make it. Thanks again

Thank you for this video. It really helped me
