I’ve been looking at Cyberpunk 2077 benchmarks, and my MSI RTX 5060 seems to be performing around 20fps less than what I’ve seen in the videos. My CPU is an i5-12400F. I’m wondering what might be causing this discrepancy and if my GPU is the issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Are you sure you’re comparing the same game settings? Even small differences can make a big impact on performance. Also, check that your game version, drivers, and Windows are the same. If your parts aren’t identical to those in the benchmarks, that can also be a major factor.
Cyberpunk 2077 is quite CPU intensive. Are the benchmarks you’re watching running on a similar CPU? There is a noticeable difference in performance between an i5 and a higher-end CPU like the 9800X3D. Also, ensure your BIOS settings are optimized, like XMP and resizable BAR.
Thanks for the tip! I think my CPU might be the real issue here.
If you’re running into CPU limitations, and your base framerate is decent, consider enabling DLSS frame generation. It’s effective in Cyberpunk, and it significantly improves performance without adding much latency.
Yeah, I’ve matched everything up except for the GPU itself.
