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 Ultra preset, FSR disabled, DX12 API.

Moving onto Cyberpunk 2077, at 1440p the RX 9070 is a good 10% faster than the RTX 5070, despite this game being used as a focal point of Nvidia marketing for years.

Even at 4K we're looking at RX 7900 XT-like performance, with 51fps on average, and that makes the 9070 14% faster than the 5070.
