RTX 2060 and Ryzen 1700 works without problems on Proton-Experimental with the settings in the screenshots and hex fix.

Use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe.
Replace "75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08" with "EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08".
Replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8".

Quoting: ShmerlI tested that patch - no change, likely because it's already GPU bottlenecked. Also, I don't have any trouble with audio.
Not surprising. You have 3900x.

1.Rename Cyberpunk2077.exe to Cyberpunk2077.exe.bak
2. Use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe.
3. Replace "75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08" with "EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08".
4. Replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8".
This turns the bad AVX call into a return and increase perfomance for AMD processors.
DISCLAIMER: May be breaking things under the hood, but seems stable.

Signature of AVX bug is as follows:
Game crashes at and beyond these locations:
Take a seat for Corpo
Exit bar for Street Kid
After cutscene for arrival at city for Nomad   

You can do this mod yourself trivially. Simply use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe,
and replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8". 
This simply turns the bad AVX call into a return.

Probably solves the problem with hangs. I haven't been able to get any hangs yet. Checking.

Quoting: CatKillerNvidia had the opportunity to create a means to utilise the DLSS library that they include with their driver in their own open source game, and they explicitly refused to.

It's entirely within their means to be more helpful, but they don't want to; that's why lots of people have a low opinion of them.
No problem. AMD FidelityFX CAS does not feel bad on Nvidia video cards. For example, in Cyberpunk it shows itself well. 80-100% to 60 fps. :)

Quoting: ShmerlWine developers (vkd3d-proton more exactly) said they won't bother with DLSS, so I don't expect that to happen.
I think if Nvidia herself takes on helping the developers of VKD3D, then anything is possible. But this is fantastic. :)

Quoting: ShmerlI tried that patch, it didn't make any difference in my case, probably the game is GPU bottlenecked.
It seems to me that there are fewer friezes when the camera turns and fast movement. Yes, the game runs into the GPU. Nvidia should release a driver, best of all with support for DLSS in WINE. :)

Users and reviewers noticed that Cyberpunk 2077 has problems utilizing the full potential of the AMD Ryzen CPUs, in particular the SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading) technology. The issue can easily be observed in Windows Task Manager, where the game is locked to the CPU’s physical cores, rather than logical. This problem is not present on the Intel processors, indicating that the code might have not been optimized for AMD CPUs.

User UnhingedDoork provided a quick solution to this problem, which appears to improve multi-threading support by the game, and as a result, increase minimum and average framerate and overall gaming experience. The solution requires a modification in the game executable file, which appears to affect how the game recognizes the CPU. Do note, it has nothing to do with kernel optimization for Intel.

It is unclear how the game, which was delayed so many times, has not been optimized for AMD Ryzen processors. Whether it was an oversight from the game developer or something that was supposed to work at launch, it remains unclear. Hopefully CD Projekt Red will be able to improve multi-threading performance and provide further optimizations for not only AMD Ryzen processors but also AMD Radeon GPUs which still lack raytracing support.

Cyberpunk 2077 AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Thread Utilisation, Source: u/BramblexD

A quick guide has been provided by a Redditor chaosxk. We do not recommend tinkering with the executable files unless you are absolutely certain of what you are doing.

Step by Step:
1. Download HxD hex editor
2. Find your Cyberpunk2077.exe, i have GOG so mines was in Cyberpunk 2077binx64
3. Make a backup copy of Cyberpunk2077.exe just in case
4. Drag Cuberpunk2077.exe to HxD, a bunch of hex numbers should appear (like 01 FF 0D, etc)
5. Press CTRL+F, change column to Hex-Values
6. Put in “75 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08” in the search string without quotes, those values should be highlighted
7. Copy “EB 30 33 C9 B8 01 00 00 00 0F A2 8B C8 C1 F9 08” without quotes
8. Back in HxD right click the highlighted values and select “paste insert”
9. Now go to top bar and click the save icon logo

There is also a video guide available here.

Quoting: scaineIt's rare, but sometimes the Steam overlay can work, but still cause issues. It's a good shout to try disabling if you're seeing issues. Probably not the case here though - more likely just the demands of the game itself.
Yes. Did not help. We are waiting for the nvidia driver. :)

Spoiler, click me
well for sure you can disable it but
i have no hangs ^^

i just test the win 10 version and the game with linux steam proton

its a fact that with the same hardware same machine on linux it do now perform as good as with windows
but well nvidida did highly tune up the new windows driver for the game ^^

i play the game with my crappy gpu on windows in 2560 x 1440 native
with a mix of low medium high settings
and get fps between 35-45 and

so i fire up my linux and with the same settings i get "17 fps"
ups
so no driver optimisation anyway from nvidia
well with lower screen resolution to 1920x1080
and settings low / medium
i get 30 fps and can play the game smooth

the only thing i was not able to fix is this missing sound issue

when games start to freez , and that for both os, it most of the time because the settings to ambitios for the hardware ^^
This is all great. But why did you quote my message?
