RTX 5090 – Has A New Driver Improved Performance & The 1% Lows?

Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action role-playing game set in the dystopian metropolis of Night City. Developed by CD Projekt Red, it offers a vast and immersive world filled with diverse characters, complex storylines, and a wide range of customization options. Players can create their own unique cyberpunk character and explore the city’s underbelly, completing missions, engaging in cybernetic enhancements, and making choices that shape their destiny.

In Cyberpunk we see some pretty positive things across all the resolutions, with the 1080p and 1440p averages both seeing a 3% increase in performance while 4K saw a slightly better 4% improvement, but what will make a slightly bigger difference to the gameplay experience is the lows here, where at 1080p we saw an increase of 6%.

At 1440p we saw a much bigger 14% increase.

4K saw an even bigger 22% increase in performance, and going from 62 to 76 FPS is enough to significantly affect how smooth the game feels to play.
