Not that big: impact: https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-amd-rx-6800-xt-vs-nvi...

So, in lower resolutions/level of details AMD wins. In 4k Ultra NVidia leads by 4/5 fps. But you for 4k you probably want 6900XT/RTX3090...

I’ve been playing this game with and without RTX (2k, 27 inches, HDR) and the difference is “night and day”, especially if it's raining or it's a night in the game and you are in the city (where most of the neon lights are located). The only thing which is not better with RTX is direct, non-ambient shadows (surprisingly), but the overall image is much better with RTX on (I really wish I could say there is no difference because it would let me save 20-30 FPS, but image quality is more important than FPS).

Maybe a comparison of still images is not the best tool for “measuring” RTX impact.

Are people really buying new mid/top-tier graphics cards to play at low resolutions and levels of detail though?
