Cyberpunk 2077 is CD Projekt Red's open-world action-RPG set in Night City, a dystopian, neon-lit megalopolis. Players control V, a cyberware-augmented mercenary caught up in a plot to steal an implant that offers a shot at immortality, dragging them into the city's criminal underworld, corporate conspiracies, and gang wars. The game is defined by Keanu Reeves's Johnny Silverhand, a digital ghost implanted in V's mind who reshapes the story as it unfolds. After a troubled 2020 launch, the Phantom Liberty expansion and major technical overhauls (like the 2.0 update) transformed the game, with ray tracing and DLSS 3 support making it one of today's most visually advanced RPGs.

In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Cyberpunk 2077 recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
