How to check if my PC can run Cyberpunk 2077
The easiest way to check if your PC can run Cyberpunk 2077 is to compare it to the benchmark specs laid out by the developers, which we've posted above. However, if this doesn't solve the specs conundrum, there is another method.
The website Can You RUN it, powered by Systems Requirement Lab, can automatically check to see if your device can run any game of your choosing.
Simply enter Cyberpunk 2077 into the website search bar and click 'Can You Run it'. This will prompt a Detection.exe program to download, which can check your PC specs against Cyberpunk 2077, and tell you if you can run the game.
If you're worried about downloading Systems Requirement Lab's program, the site is endorsed by some of the largest tech companies out there, including NVIDIA, AMD, and EA.
