Cyberpunk 2077 PC Patch/Hotfix 1.05 tested on Ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1070
Greetings, everyone.
A new update / hotfix has been released this weekend for CP 2077 on all systems, so let’s check if things have improved or not here on my usual PC specs:
-CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (stock settings) with Coolermaster Hyper 212 Black RGB (w/2 fans, push-pull).
-Mobo: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC.
-GPU: Inno3D Twin X2 GTX 1070 (stock) and WHQL driver 460.89.
-RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (2x8GB) CL16 DDR4@3200 Mhz.
-Storage: PNY XLR8 CS3030 1TB NVMe (O.S. and game), Samsung 750 EVO 500 GB.
-Case: Fractal Design Meshify S2 (Intake: 2x140 Front, 1x120 Lower Front - Exhaust: 1x140 Rear, 1x120 Top/VRM Area).
-PSU: Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold.
-O.S: Windows 10 Pro 64bit (v.2004).
-Monitor: AOC AGON AG251FG 1080p-240Hz.

As we can see in the video, and comparing to my previous one testing the 1.04 patch, I don’t experience any substantial performance differences, at least not for average FPS. You can check my previous patch video here: • Cyberpunk 2077 PC Patch 1.04 - Testing FPS... and, apart for small differences because this game does not have an “on rails” benchmark, there’s nothing substantial to claim it runs better or worse: it’s basically the same, but now my Ryzen 5 3600 is making more use of SMT and the load is better balanced across all threads.
I suspect that those people with similar, or better CPUs than mine (as in the 5600xt, also a 6/12 piece), and more powerful GPUs, may have seen better results from this fix for SMT, and also because I’ve seen the benchmarks from Gamersnexus testing this at Low/1080p on an RTX 3080, and they get improvements, but then they get zero performance increases pre and post fix at 1440p with better settings…as expected and it’s the same applied to my results: I am very GPU bound even at 1080p on this GTX 1070, so at best maybe the min FPS have “improved”, don’t measure those unless there’s some serious stutter or frame-pacing, which I’m not having in CP 2077, so If they have improved, those 0.1 and 1% lows…it’s not doing much for me as I don’t really experience any hard FPS drops because I’m already at relatively low’ish FPS, anyway, unless I play at Lo settings.
In any case, a fix that may help other people is welcome, and I anticipate more fixes and stuff in the coming days, hopefully I also get a patch to make all the keys usable instead of me having to edit xml files or using mods. Now that, to me, would be a decent improvement, lol, and other Quality of Life features this game seriously needs.
As usual, I hope this can be useful to any of you, and I’ll see you in the next one : )
