If you're not satisfied with the performance you're getting with your rig, do like Digital Foundry and get a RTX 3090. Then it will run 4K@60fps with Ray Tracing like a dream. You're also in luck, since RTX 3090 is so expensive, it's actually in stock in quite a few stores. Win-win situation.

You don't need a 3090 to be honest for it to look amazing, but unfortunately you probably have to be satisfied with locked 30. I am running this at 1440p balanced, RT ultra and just lock it 30. Game looks pretty darn incredible though. Certainly above RDR2 and AC Valhalla for instance graphically.

Absolutely, I was joking. Digital Foundry did an article which highlights the technical achievements of the game and how insanely gorgeous it looks using a RTX 3090 and their best-in-class PC. Insane setup to achieve that outrageous result, something far, very far for most people in the world. Though I'm very glad Drift got the joke.

In that same DF article, they call Cyberpunk 2077 the new/modern "Crysis", which I agree with. I believe that in 10 years from now, people will still be using Cyberpunk 2077 as a benchmark for new CPUs and GPUs. Just like Crysis 3 and The Witcher 3 all these years later.

I'm waiting to get RTX 3060 Ti before diving into it, I had planned to buy it December 2nd when it released, but the store I buy from jumped the gun 1 day earlier and by the time I read their message and went to the store, all models were sold out... even the over 1000 bucks more expensive ones, which at that point they matched the RTX 3070 price and were of spitting distance of RTX 3080's price. BUT those were all out of stock as well.

I'm mentioning that hardware scarcity because it's quite interesting - maybe even ironic - that probably the most demanding game ever made, if you include Ultra Settings + Max Level Ray Tracing at 4K@60fps, was launched in a moment where the most powerful hardware both for PCs and consoles, are almost impossible to buy. Which I find quite amusing, I must admit. Gotta have a sense of humor in 2020, at the very least.
