How this number was derived
- · 8 GB of VRAM against the 10 GB this title wants at these settings
- · Modelled from catalog performance scores — an estimate, not a measurement
Frame rates vary with drivers, memory speed, game version, background apps and in-game settings. Use these numbers to compare builds, not as a promise.
CPU vs GPU balance
Mostly GPU-limited
In Cyberpunk 2077 at these settings, the GPU side is the lower ceiling.
Scale up to 292 FPS · goal 60 FPS
Both sides clear your 60 FPS goal in this scenario.
This can change with the game, resolution, preset and ray tracing. Switch any setting above and both panels recalculate.
