Use AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation in Cyberpunk 2077

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

AMD FSR 3 is Cyberpunk 2077's supported upscaling and frame-generation option for compatible hardware. It is not a universal FPS boost: CD PROJEKT RED recommends a 60 FPS baseline and a 120 Hz-or-higher display before enabling Frame Generation, because lower baselines can show artifacts or uneven pacing.

Confirm the supported scope

Use this guide only if Cyberpunk 2077 is already running on a PC and the goal is to try the game's built-in AMD FSR 3 option. It does not endorse custom configuration edits, performance mods, or a guaranteed frame-rate result.

Compare the hardware target

Check the PC against CD PROJEKT RED's current system requirements and keep the intended resolution and ray-tracing mode realistic for the hardware. A frame-generation option cannot make unsupported hardware meet every target.

Measure the baseline first

Run the in-game benchmark or a comparable repeatable scene before changing FSR. CD PROJEKT RED recommends a baseline of at least 60 FPS before Frame Generation, because lower frame rates can produce artifacts or frame-pacing issues.

Check the display refresh rate

Confirm whether the monitor can run at 120 Hz or more. CD PROJEKT RED strongly advises a high-refresh display for Frame Generation, because a lower refresh rate can create frame-time issues.

Open the Graphics menu

In Cyberpunk 2077, open Settings, then Graphics. Find the Quick Preset area rather than modifying external configuration files.

Enable AMD FSR 3 upscaling

Choose AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 in the Graphics settings. FSR Frame Generation is available only when FSR 3 upscaling is enabled.

Enable Frame Generation and test

Turn on FSR Frame Generation, then repeat the same benchmark or scene. Check visual artifacts, frame pacing, input feel, and stability, not only the displayed frame count.

Keep a reversible result

If the image or pacing becomes worse, turn Frame Generation back off and retain the setting that performs best in the tested scene. If low performance persists on a PC meeting the requirements, use CD PROJEKT RED's benchmark-report route.

Video walkthrough

If it does not work

  • If FSR Frame Generation is unavailable, first confirm that FSR 3 upscaling is selected. Do not install an unofficial frame-generation mod or edit a configuration file to expose a hidden control.
  • If the baseline is below 60 FPS or the monitor is below 120 Hz, leave Frame Generation off and use the hardware-appropriate graphics target instead. CD PROJEKT RED identifies those conditions as prone to visual or frame-time problems.
