Nvidia's RTX 3070 and 3070 Ti can easily run Cyberpunk 2077 since they were designed to play the latest and most demanding video games at 1440p. Years after their initial release, these GPUs continue to be solid options for playing modern titles. However, it's time to crank down some of those settings to maintain a decent framerate

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update has introduced better graphics to the first-person shooter alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion. The game has a whole bunch of graphics settings that can be customized to ensure an optimal experience on Nvidia's 3070 and 3070 Ti GPUs. This also means performance will go down, and you'll have to be ready to sacrifice more visual settings.

This article will list the best settings to use in Cyberpunk 2077 when it's running on either of the mentioned GPUs.
