Here we test Cyberpunk 2077, using the Ray Tracing: Ultra preset. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Moving onto look at ray tracing performance, Cyberpunk 2077 is a tough ask for any DXR-capable GPU, and at 1440p the RX 7900 XT can't maintain a frame rate above 30FPS, with the 1% lows hitting 26FPS. It's slightly worse than an RTX 3080 10GB here.

Of course that means 4K is a no-go, though only an RTX 4090 can hold above 30FPS at this resolution.
