Even if you have the best hardware you can buy, Cyberpunk 2077 is more than the new Crysis in terms of PC hardware requirements. Hell, the game is so next-gen that it practically melted the PS4 and Xbox One consoles to the point where Cyberpunk 2077 is taken off those platforms.
But what if you want more performance without having to do much? That’s exactly what programmer CodeZ1LLa has done with its new EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077 which will provide up to 30FPS more in-game performance.
How does it work? EZ Optimizer adjusts hidden developer settings that aren’t normally available to you, and it’s super easy because you can just move it to the root folder of your Cyberpunk 2077 installation. From there, you have 4 options to choose from:
- Max. Boost: Provides the best possible image fidelity and significant performance improvement. This option is highly recommended for GeForce GTX 1060 and below.
- Balanced: Provides a sensible balance between image quality and performance. Owners of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti through the GeForce RTX 20 series (Turing) should use this option before trying the Max Boost preset.
- Standard: Return the settings to the default configuration of the game.
- Disable Async Compute: This option helps improve the performance of GeForce GTX SKUs and is not recommended for NVIDIA’s newer RTX models.

When using EZ Optimizer for Cyberpunk 2077, the performance of CodeZ1LLa’s new software pushed its GeForce GTX 1070 Ti from an average of 42-51 FPS with the default settings. Running Balanced mode boosted performance from 54FPS to 71FPS while Max Boost mode boosted performance from 51FPS to a much higher 80FPS.
Performance obviously varies 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 it out maybe rerun some of my 8K benchmarks and finish my 1080p / 1440p / 4K benchmarks.
