The Nvidia RTX 2070 and 2070 Super were launched to play the latest and most demanding video games at 1440p resolutions without any compromises. But these cards are old news now and have long been replaced by much more powerful options like the 3070 and the 4070. Gamers playing on these GPUs now have to crank down the settings to maintain stable framerates.

This is particularly applicable to some of the more demanding video games from recent times like Cyberpunk 2077. The CD Projekt Red first-person shooter is now getting a 2.0 update that promises even better visuals and improved gameplay mechanics. Players on the 2070 and 2070 Super will now have to further fine-tune the settings for the best experience. This article will go over the changes you need to make in Cyberpunk 2077.
