Below are what CD Projekt Red have deemed the minimum system requirements for Cyberpunk 2077. This means running the game at1080p on Low graphics settings.
The fact that Cyberpunk 2077 can run on such a machine is fairly impressive, and explained in part by the fact that the game seems to default to targeting a modest 30FPS.

Once again, these specs are quite a bit lower than many were expecting, quite possibly due to the low target framerate. For details on how to beef up your FPS, be sure to take a look at Katharine’s article onCyberpunk 2077’s best PC settings to improve performance.
If you want to see the effects of ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077, then you’ll need an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 at the absolute minimum.
