The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and the RX 6950 XT are flagship-grade graphics cards from the last-gen RDNA 2 lineup. These GPUs are built to play the latest games at the highest settings at 4K resolutions without any sacrifices. Although they have been replaced by the much more capable RX 7900 XT and the 7900 XTX, they remain superb options for playing the most demanding titles like Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077.

However, players with the RX 6900 XT will have to tweak the settings to get decent framerates at 4K in Cyberpunk, especially now that the 2.0 update is out and brings better visuals and gameplay mechanics. We know how frustrating it can be to manually adjust the settings, and hence will list the best combinations in this article.
