Nvidia's RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti can play Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty with some compromises since they are mid-range graphics cards meant for 1080p gaming. The GPUs are very competent when it comes to running the latest and most demanding titles at Full HD without major performance hiccups.

Cyberpunk 2077 can run pretty well on the last-gen 60-class GPUs, provided you tweak its graphics settings for proper optimization. However, the game offers dozens of customization options that can make fine-tuning a bit of a chore. To help you have an easier time tweaking this title's settings, this article will offer the best options to utilize.

Best Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 3060

Nvidia's RTX 3060 is good for playing Cyberpunk 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty expansion when utilizing a mix of medium and high settings applied at 1080p. The GPU is capable of ray tracing, but we don't recommend using it for Cyberpunk, given how demanding its visual effects can be. We also advise you to make use of DLSS to obtain high framerates.

Best Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 graphics settings for Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti

The RTX 3060 Ti packs considerably more graphics rendering power as compared to its non-Ti sibling. This can allow gamers to crank up the settings slightly higher. However, we still don't recommend ray tracing at 1080p. DLSS should be preferred for this card as well, but at Quality for better visual fidelity.

The best settings for the RTX 3060 Ti are as follows:
