Why This Build for Cyberpunk 2077
On Ultra, ray tracing off at 1080p the RTX 4060 averages 72 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077, 48 under the 120 Hz the title is usually played at. Cap an entry build at 60 Hz and it holds; chase 120 Hz and Ray Tracing (Path Tracing first, then reflections) is what pays for it.
The cheapest step up in our Cyberpunk 2077 numbers is the RTX 5070 TI: 155 FPS at 1080p, 83 more than the RTX 4060 and about 115% in this title. That is the card that takes Cyberpunk 2077 over 120 Hz, which is the honest reason to want it. What it sells for the week you buy decides it; this build caps graphics at $350 and spends the rest where Cyberpunk 2077 will still need it in two years.
Night City layers screen-space and ray-traced reflections over permanently wet asphalt, volumetric fog through every neon sign, and the densest crowd system in any current open world — and switching on RT Overdrive moves the entire lighting solution to path tracing on the GPU, which is why this one title can justify a graphics card two tiers above what its budget bracket would otherwise buy. Cyberpunk 2077 is GPU-bound, so every dollar this entry build can spare goes to the RTX 4060. A quicker processor would not move the 120 Hz number at all.
Video memory is the usual entry-build trap: Cyberpunk 2077 wants near 8 GB on Ultra, ray tracing off at 1080p; the RTX 4060 holds 8 GB. It clears by 0 GB, which makes a future Cyberpunk 2077 texture pack the likeliest thing to date a $800 build.
Cyberpunk 2077 ships DLSS, FSR and XeSS. DLSS on Quality is the cheapest frames an entry build can get in Cyberpunk 2077 — reach for it before you touch Ray Tracing (Path Tracing first, then reflections).
