Nvidia's GTX 1660 and 1660 Super aren't the best cards for playing Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 since they were launched as cheaper alternatives to the RTX 2060 and 2060 Super a couple of generations ago. Both are by no means the fastest GPUs today. However, they still can run AAA games as well as new titles at comfortable framerates with some tweaks to their settings.

The same goes for Cyberpunk 2077. With the new 2.0 update, this game offers better visuals and gameplay mechanics compared to its previous versions, which only makes it more demanding. The best settings combination for the GTX 1660 and 1660 Super is provided in this article.
