Note

This setup aims for 30fps cap at native 800p with no upscaling, with decent frame pacing, but some drops while driving.

First, install some mods.

First, install "General Performance Improvements (ini Tweaks) - Updates for 2.0" (the version with async).
Then, install Config Overhaul, and use it to disable long-distance ambient occlusion. For this, right click and open the .exe with ProtonTricks and select the Cyberpunk 2077 prefix. I had to update ProtonTricks to stop a Python error.
Next, perform the A.B.T. tweaks (search Google for it) - I did all except the last one with the security risk.
Optionally, install the skip intro videos mod.

Next, set the game's Steam launch options to:

--launcher-skip -skipStartScreen

Then, in the in-game settings, Graphics tab:

Disable Resolution Scaling, Frame Gen and Ray Tracing
Set Crowd Density to Low
Under Basic, set to personal preference
Enable Contact Shadows and Improved Facial Lighting Geometry
Anisotropy to 4
Local Shadow Mesh Quality to Medium
Local Shadow Quality to Medium
Cascaded Shadows Range to Low
Cascade Shadows Resolution to Medium
Distant Shadows Resolution to Low
Volumetric Fog Resolution to Low
Volumetric Cloud Quality to Off
Max Dynamic Decals to Medium
Screen Space Reflections Quality to Low
Subsurface Scattering Quality to Medium
Ambient Occlusion to Low
Color Precision to Medium
Mirror Quality to Low
Level of Detail to Low

Under the Video tab:

VSync off
Maximum FPS on at 30
Fullscreen
1280x800
HDR mode on either - unsure the difference currently

Under the Utilities tab:

Enable HDD Mode
Enable AMD Simultaneous Multithreading

Optionally, also set Accessibility > Difficulty > Additive Camera Motions to Reduced. I find the normal running bob too intense at 30fps. I also set Graphics > Basic > Field of View to 90 because of the portable screen.

Make sure to disable the QAM frame limiter and allow tearing.

Note

From /u/kestononline on Reddit:

I’ll only include the relevant lines. The below settings yield 40-50 FPS.

Video Settings 1:

• VSync: OFF | Max FPS: OFF | Windowed Mode: Fullscreen | Resolution: 1200x800

Graphics Settings 1 | Settings 2 | Settings 3:

• Texture Quality: High (seen from Main Menu settings, not in-progress game)

Resolution Scaling >

• Dynamic Resolution Scaling: OFF
• AMD FSR 2.1: Performance
• AMD FSR 2.1 Image Sharpening: 0.50

Basic >

• Film Grain: OFF
• Chromatic Aberration: OFF
• Depth of Field: ON
• Lens Flare: ON
• Motion Blur: OFF

Advanced >

• Contact Shadows: ON
• Improved Facial Lighting: OFF
• Anisotropy: 1

All in Advanced setting to MEDIUM except the following:

• Distant Shadow Resolution: Low
• Mirror Quality: Low

Steam Launch Options:

• –launcher-skip –intro-skip -skipStartScreen
• (not sure if all of those above do something, but I’ve been using for a while)

Hope this helps some people.

Cheers~ 👍🏽
