Even if you have one of the best hardware you can buy, Cyberpunk 2077 is beyond being the new Crysis in terms of PC hardware requirements. Hell, the game is so close that it practically melted the PS4 and Xbox One consoles to the point that Cyberpunk 2077 was pulled from those platforms.
But what if you want more performance without having to do a lot? That’s exactly what the programmer CodeZ1LLa did with his new EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077 that will offer up to 30FPS more in-game performance.
How it works? EZ Optimizer adjusts hidden developer settings that are not normally available to you and is very easy, as you can simply move it to the root folder of the Cyberpunk 2077 installation. From there, you will have 4 options to choose from:
- Max Boost: Offers the best possible image fidelity and a substantial increase in performance. This option is highly recommended for GeForce GTX 1060 and below.
- Balanced: Provides a reasonable balance between image quality and performance. Owners of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti to the GeForce RTX 20 series (Turing) should use this option before attempting the Max Boost preset.
- Standard: Restores the settings back to the game’s default configuration.
- Disable Async Compute: This option helps to boost performance for GeForce GTX SKUs and is not recommended for the latest NVIDIA RTX models.

When using EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077, the performance of CodeZ1LLa’s new software pushed its GeForce GTX 1070 Ti by an average of 42-51FPS with default settings. When running Balanced mode, performance increased from 54FPS to 71FPS, while Max Boost mode increased performance from 51FPS to much higher 80FPS.
Performance obviously varies from GPU to GPU and CPU to CPU, across an entire system depending on the SSD, etc. But the performance seems to be very good with the new EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077, I think I’ll need to try it out and maybe run some of my 8K benchmarks again and finish my 1080p / 1440p / 4K benchmarks.
