I can play CP2077 on Linux on a 7900 XTX with RT at max (not path tracing though), at almost 4k at about 60fps with no frame gen.
On Windows, with the lowest RT settings I get 10-12fps.
This has been the case for months. I look forward to the new Mesa and hope to be able to go all the way to 4k!
THen your drivers are borked, or something else is horribly broken, cause I played Cyberpunk on Windows with a ~~6700~~ on a rx580 Red Devil (I didnt get the 6700 until later), on mostly medium settings, and got playable FPS, way back when the game released, when it was far less optimized and far more buggy.
I consider Windows borked by definition. I don’t even have it installed any longer.
I also don’t know what you consider “playable FPS”, and I never had anything on medium. On Linux the only setting I have that’s not at its highest is that I don’t activate path tracing.
