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.

Next is Cyberpunk 2077, where the RTX 4080 delivers in excess of 110FPS at 1440p. That makes it 21% faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, while it's over 30% ahead of the RX 6950 XT, and 20% slower than the RTX 4090.

Interestingly, at 4K, the 4080 drops off slightly compared to the RTX 3090 Ti. It's still 18% faster than the Ampere flagship, but the margin is smaller than it was at 1440p. It does remain the second fastest card on the chart however, coming in 24% slower than the RTX 4090.
