The Nvidia GTX 1650 and 1650 Super aren't good GPUs for playing Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty since they are entry-level 1080p gaming graphics cards from a couple of generations ago. These GPUs replaced the insanely popular GTX 1050 Ti. However, years after release, the cards aren't the fastest in the market. Although they can handle the latest and most demanding games, gamers need to crank down the settings for the best experience.

Moreover, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most demanding games available in the market, and now it is getting a 2.0 update that brings better visuals and gameplay mechanics. Therefore, 1650 players will have to tweak their in-game settings for a decent experience during gameplay. We will list the same in this article.
