Here are the optimal settings for playing Cyberpunk at 1080p, with or without ray tracing, on GPUs with up to 8GB of VRAM and beyond.
Cyberpunk 2077, released in 2020, is notoriously difficult to run on older systems. With path tracing enabled, a few GPUs, such as the RTX 4090 and RTX 5090, can achieve native 1080p 60FPS in the base game. That said, if you are playing the Phantom Liberty DLC, you too can expect frame drops. The settings below apply to GPU performance tiers starting from the RTX 4070 and above, covering both rasterization and ray tracing settings.
Note:The latest patch updates Cyberpunk to utilize FSR 4 for AMD RDNA 4 GPUs. The recent driver updates from AMD (RDNA 4) have caught up to Nvidia in terms of ray tracing. You can apply the RT settings mentioned here for Nvidia GPUs directly to RDNA 4 cards without issue.

That concludes the recommendation for Cyberpunk: 2077 at 1080p resolution. Depending on your GPU, you will need to customize each setting according to your VRAM and available performance headroom. Since the 1660Ti is mentioned, it means you will be able to play the game with that GPU as well, at 1080p and with RT, and that card is still competitive.
