Even if you have some of the best hardware you can buy, Cyberpunk 2077 is not the new Crysis in terms of PC hardware requirements. Hell, the game is so next generation that it has virtually melted the PS4 and Xbox One consoles to the point that Cyberpunk 2077 is being pulled from those platforms.
But what if you want more performance without having to do much? This is exactly what programmer CodeZ1LLa did with his new EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077 which will offer up to 30FPS more in-game performance.
How does it work? EZ Optimizer adjusts the hidden developer settings that are not normally available to you, and is very easy because you can just move it to the root directory of your Cyberpunk 2077 installation. From there you have 4 options to choose from:
- Max Boost: Provides the best possible image fidelity and significant improvement in performance. This option is highly recommended for the GeForce GTX 1060 and below.
- Balanced: Provides a meaningful balance between image quality and performance. Owners of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti up to and including the GeForce RTX 20 Series (Turing) should use this option before attempting the Max Boost preset.
- Default: Resets the settings to the default configuration of the game.
- Disable Async Compute: This option helps increase performance for GeForce GTX SKUs and is not recommended for NVIDIA’s newer RTX models.

Using EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077, the performance on CodeZ1LLa’s new software pushed its GeForce GTX 1070 Ti averaging 42-51FPS with the default settings. When using a balanced mode, the performance increased from 54FPS to 71FPS, while the Max Boost mode increased the performance from 51FPS to a much higher 80FPS.
Performance will of course vary from GPU to GPU and CPU to CPU, to an entire system, depending on the SSD, etc. But the performance seems to be damn good with the new EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077, I think I should try to run it and maybe run some of my 8K benchmarks again and finish my 1080p / 1440p / 4K benchmarks .
