The GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile is a very low performing piece of gaming hardware and can probably only run indie system requirements.

All games with system requirements of DirectX 12 or lower are met by this card.

Lets look at the GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile game performance guide for some of the biggest games played in 2023. In particular we will see how well this graphics card runs on Ultra settings on 1080p resolution as well as 1440p and 4K. This graphics hardware can run 247 of the 1000 most demanding PC games played today.

A GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile card at 1080p is seeing a weak frame rate when running Resident Evil 8 on Ultra - 9 FPS. Lets look at the performance its getting on Forza Horizon 5 which is 9 FPS. To add a bit more variety lets see how the popular FIFA 22 performs on this hardware, which gets a good 62 FPS.

Increasing resolution to 1440p is something a number of PC gamers are doing today. We tested the GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile at 1440p with Resident Evil 8, which got a weak set of FPS results. These were, Low: 18 FPS, Medium: 14 FPS, High: 10 FPS and Ultra: 7 FPS. We then checked out Forza Horizon 5 which had a set of graphics results as followed, L: 18FPS, M: 14FPS, H: 10FPS, U: 7FPS. And another popular game was FIFA 22 that returned L: 125FPS, M: 98FPS, H: 66FPS, U: 47FPS at 1440p. Running games at 1440p with a GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile is not ideal and its more advisable to run modern games at 1080p resolution. But if you really want to play games at 1440p then you will likely have to make some graphical adjustments to improve game FPS stability.
