I use a GTX 970, I can play most games just fine.

It's not Windows performance, Cyberpunk 2077 for instance was quite more unstable for me on Arch and it took quite a bit of tweaking to be able to launch it (it's a miracle that I can even play Cyberpunk with a 970 in both cases :P). Generally though I've had a pretty good experience, most games play out of the box with good performance, and I get to daily drive Linux finally

Cyberpunk can run on a 1050 Mobile. We are making the game seem a much larger beast.

It can run yeah, but it's not a playable performance at all. A friend of mine played a bit of Cyberpunk with a 1050 on Windows, all the latest drivers and a relatively good build other than the graphics card, but he quickly got tired from running it with 20-30 FPS (all settings on low with 720p)

Didn't find it myself as an issue. I play a LOT of older 3D titles (3D Nintendo Switch games), and most are locked at 30 or even 25.

But am I mistaken, or I remember Cyberpunk being more about CPU than GPU? I got an Intel i7-8750H

It is very CPU heavy but also made for next gen graphics cards, and 20-30 fps is way too little for a fast paced first person game
