The time has finally come that I can offer some insight into what I have experienced with my 2 different gaming systems. I am a technophile and aware of the new system components but currently can't find afford and competitive rates on gaming system components for Bitcoin, Hive or Zcash. If you missed my blog earlier this year, I had my Canadian bank accounts closed by HSBC without explanation... So in order to enjoy Cyberpunk without stressing about importing, I was limited to the 2 dated systems I have, partially comprised of mining rig components.

System A and System N. To differentiate between my 2 builds. Ram in both is DDR3 and the fastest each Motherboard could run, forgot specifics for now. Both system have modern SSD via sata.

System A

CPU : AMD FX-4300 (2 cores, 4 threads @ 4.55 ghz OC)
GPU : AMD Sapphire VEGA 64 (8gb HBMII, 16gb expandable video memory onto system drives with HBCC)

System N

CPU : Intel i5-4690K (4 cores, 8 threads @ 3.5ghz)
GPU : Nvidia MSI Duke 1080ti (11GB 352 bit GDDR5)

System A is downtuned to Low settings aside from GPU only functions.
System N is running all Ultra settings aside from Ambient Occlusion

Menu Framerates

System A is getting menu frame rates of up to 900 FPS, averages around 650 FPS. This is very high and likely due to the way large displays are rendered well in the VEGA HBMII memory Type. Runs at 65°C.

System N is running at 450-600 FPS, much more stable. Runs at 57°C.

As usual you can cook a Egg on the AMD build, but thats nice here in 🇨🇦 during the winter, the Nvidia is just great at cooling. So much so that the Nvidia is in a Micro ATX build, while the AMD is in a Full ATX Tower case.

Loading Screen Framerates

Both systems average around 60 FPS at loading screen, the AMD build drops to under 50 as the game loads, while the Nvidia build stays at 60 FPS until you engage in gameplay.

Sometimes the Nvidia system will run at 80 FPS after the loading screen for a while.

In Game in Combat

System A averages about 24 FPS, with lows around 15, this is painful and why I originally tried to use my Nvidia mining rig components.

System N runs at around 45 FPS in combat with lows around 20-30 FPS. Under 20 FPS is rare.

All this considered, the game will run on dated systems fine, the AMD build has more work around but I am enjoying playing this game on ultra settings on system N at the moment. System A can be optimized with better overclocking but its running so stable at 4.55ghz I am okay leaving it if I have the Nvidia option.

Don't let the console reviews effect your OC gaming experience, the game plays like any other modern high res shooter with a high frame rate on a technical level.

Next technical post will be about graphic quality and settings, the developer is working on a patch for graphics so I might be polite and wait for that patch to review textures.

What is your average FPS on CP77?
