Here are the optimal settings for playing Cyberpunk and the Phantom Liberty DLC, with an RTX 5080 at 1440p and 4K resolutions.
The RTX 5080 is a drop-in replacement for the RTX 4080 Super. It offers more than 25% performance improvement when tuned, compared to the 4080 Super. Some even say that the RTX 5080 can be tuned to match the likes of a 4090. However, not everyone is willing to risk such levels of customization. Review outlets expressed dissatisfaction with the performance uplift that the game delivered out of the box. That said, here are the settings that everyday users can apply to play the base game and the Phantom Liberty DLC seamlessly.
Note:The RTX 5080 requires a CPU level of 7800X3D to avoid being CPU-bound when users decide to tune it and unleash its full potential. Otherwise, at stock settings, a 13700K tier CPU works fine.
