Best The First Descendant graphics settings for Nvidia GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 Super

The Nvidia GTX 1660 and 1660 Super are only good for 1080p gaming these days. These cards play the latest games like The First Descendant with some compromises to the settings lists. The shooter isn't the best optimized on PC. But, it supports AMD FSR with frame generation, which comes in handy on older cards to maintain a playable framerate.

In this guide, we have listed the ideal settings lists for the Turing-based mid-range GPUs. You can get started quickly in the game with a decent framerate at 1080p resolutions.
