Many of us here at PCWorld are just as excited to dive into Cyberpunk 2077’s futuristic story as you are, and very interested in how well those densely packed crowds and cutting-edge ray tracing effects perform on a GeForce RTX 3080 (though the surprisingly modest requirements should run on most gaming rigs).
