Can I run Cyberpunk 2077 with a GeForce RTX 4090?

A 2022 card meeting a 2020 game: the GeForce RTX 4090 clears every tier Cyberpunk 2077 defines, finishing 40% above the index its ultra tier asks for.

The GeForce RTX 4090 arrived 2 years after Cyberpunk 2077 shipped, so the game was never designed with it in mind: 7 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Cyberpunk 2077. It sits 2 of 47 on our index.

That readout is the best this card can do in Cyberpunk 2077: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Cyberpunk 2077 the processor beside a GeForce RTX 4090 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
