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, DX12 API.

As one of the most demanding games in our suite, it's a great indicator of overall performance to see the RTX 3060 averaging 64FPS in Cyberpunk 2077. This puts it 3% ahead of the RX 5700 XT an 21% ahead of the RTX 2060.

Stepping up to 1440p will reduce average frame rate down to 40FPS, though that's still 5% faster than the RX 5700 XT. It also beats both the RX 5700 and RTX 2060 by another 21% margin.
