Cyberpunk 2077 on Radeon RX 6500 XT
Yes, at lower settings. The Radeon RX 6500 XT meets Cyberpunk 2077's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~37 fps at 1080p medium (range 29–44, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 4 GB of video memory is below the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. 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.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 48 | 34 | 20 |
| medium | 37 | 26 | 15 |
| high | 28 | 20 | 12 |
| ultra | 23 | 16 | 9 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
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 RX 6500 XT back.
- Processor needed for ~37 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, ~28 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 6500 XT: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 6 GB (2 GB short)
