[FPS Benchmarks] Cyberpunk 2077 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (150W) and RTX 3070 Ti (150W) – RTX 3080 is 8% faster on average

Cyberpunk 2077 is a real gaming hit despite the fact that it had one of the toughest debuts in terms of players’ negative feedback. Now, after numerous patches, the game is in a good state. Other than that, the title offers a really long single-player campaign, a lot of main and side quests, good graphics, and a nice soundtrack.

Visually, the game looks good and it supports features like ray-tracing and DLSS, and believe it or not, the game isn’t that heavy if don’t use ray-tracing. For 60 FPS on Ultra quality, you’re going to need a decent mid-range GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 [Laptop, 100W].
