Some of the big things to note is that playing on Ultra will require that Cyberpunk 2077 or the Phantom Liberty expansion is installed on an NVME drive. Additionally, these visuals at 4K will need an RTX 3080 or RX 7900 XTX at a minimum. If you’ve been waiting to do an update, now might be the time.

For a point of reference, here are the old system requirements from when Cyberpunk 2077 first released. As you can see, the update to the CPU and GPU requirements are rather eye-watering.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0 PC system requirements are certainly demanding. Check your rig and ensure that it’s ready to go.

      These specs also reaffirm that the game’s download speed will be a modest 70 GB.

      Download "speed"?

      So, when this game says 4k RT Ultra does that mean at 30fps? It'd be rad as hell if I could crank this game to its max and get 60fps, though...

      Details on FPS targets and whether that's using DLSS would be useful for sure. Either way I'm glad I'll be able to crank everything up yessssssssss

        I assume DLSS is implemented - the performance gains are just too good and it allows a lower recommended spec.
