AMD RX 7800 XT Review

Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. The story takes place in Night City, an open world set in the Cyberpunk universe. Players assume the first-person perspective of a customisable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. Cyberpunk 2077 was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: REDengine 4. We test using the Ray Tracing: Ultra preset. DLSS/FSR are disabled. DXR API.

As expected, Cyberpunk 2077 using the RT Ultra preset is another matter entirely, and even at 1080p, the RX 7800 XT struggles to break past the 40FPS barrier. It is still a 12% improvement over the RX 6800 XT, but it lags behind the RTX 4070, coming in 31% slower.

1440p is out of the question without some form of upscaling too, with just 25FPS delivered on average.
