Cyberpunk 2077 on Radeon HD 7870

Below minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

No. The Radeon HD 7870 is below Cyberpunk 2077's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 1060 6GB). Our model still estimates ~31 fps at 1080p low (range 25–37, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon HD 7870 back.
Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-12700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~18 fps.
