How to run Cyberpunk 2077 on older hardware? Edit these two files

Cyberpunk 2077 has been in great controversy since its release, especially in terms of performance. Although the game was postponed several times, it eventually made its release in 2020. Although the CD Projekt RED fulfilled its plans and fed investors, after the reactions of fans, they decided to sell their shares massively, which have fallen by more than 35% since its release.

Unfortunately, owners of the older generation of consoles do not have much to choose from and have to settle for low resolution. On the computer, players have a little more options, they can adjust individual settings according to whether their bottleneck is more in the processor or in the graphics. However, if you have AMD Ryzen processors or a graphics card without DLSS support, you can record dips up to FPS units.

However, the Internet has left nothing to chance and is not waiting for the CD Project RED to address the situation. If you experience similar problems, try editing these few files and hope that you are one of the players who solved their failures. The following steps may resolve optimization issues with Ryzen processors:

1. Download the HxD hex editor from the Internet and install it
2. Open the game folder (path Cyberpunk 2077 bin x64) and back up the file “Cyberpunk2077.exe”
3. Open Cyberpunk2077.exe in the HxD editor, hexadecimal number changes should appear
4. Press CTRL + F to switch to Hex-Values
5. Find “75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08” without quotes
6. Replace them with “EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08” without quotation marks
7. Save the file

Another problem is the utilization of memory and graphics memory, which you can solve by the following modification.

1. Open the game folder (Cyberpunk 2077 Engine Config path) and back up the memory_pool_budgets.csv file
2. Open memory_pool_budgets.csv in Notepad
3. Press CTRL + F to find the words PoolCPU and PoolGPU
4. Change the PoolCPU value to the RAM value that you have on your computer
5. Change the PoolGPU value to the VRAM value that your graphics card has
6. Save the file
