Upscaling — XeSSBalanced+55% FPS
Cyberpunk supports DLSS (RTX), FSR and XeSS, plus Frame Generation. The biggest single FPS gain available — enable it before touching anything else, especially if you want ray tracing.
Ray Tracing / Path TracingOffsaves FPS
Cyberpunk’s ray tracing is the most demanding in any game — Path Tracing (the "RT: Overdrive" mode) can cut your FPS by more than half. Stunning, but only realistic on high-end RTX cards with DLSS + Frame Generation on.
Screen Space Reflections QualityLow+13% FPS
Reflections on glass, cars and puddles. "Psycho" is hugely expensive for a barely-visible upgrade over High — one of the first things to lower.
Volumetric Fog ResolutionLow+10% FPS
The thick neon haze that defines Night City’s look. Costly — Medium/High is an easy, near-invisible saving.
Cascaded / Volumetric Shadow QualityMedium+6% FPS
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Ultra across Night City while running noticeably faster.
Subsurface Scattering QualityLow+4% FPS
Soft, realistic skin and translucent materials. Minor cost; mostly noticeable on faces in cutscenes.
Crowd DensityMedium+3% FPS
How many NPCs populate the streets. This one leans on your CPU — lowering it helps most in busy areas where you’re CPU-limited.
Level of Detail (LOD)Medium+3% FPS
How far full-detail geometry renders before simplifying. Lowering causes mild pop-in on distant buildings.
Distant Shadows ResolutionMedium+2% FPS
Shadow detail far from the camera. Cheap to lower with little visible difference during gameplay.
Motion Blur / Film Grain / Chromatic AberrationOff+2% FPS
Cheap on FPS and pure preference — many players switch these off for a cleaner, sharper image.
Texture QualityHighbaseline
Surface sharpness. Almost free if it fits your VRAM — Cyberpunk can exceed 8GB at 1440p/4K with RT, which causes stutter, so we ease off on smaller cards.
Anisotropic Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps road and ground textures sharp into the distance. Effectively free — leave it at 16x.
