The GTX 1650 and 1650 Super are among the most powerful cards on the market. They are much faster than their last-gen counterparts, the GTX 1050 and the 1050 Ti, and the only Nvidia offering at under $300.
The 1650 recently overtook the GTX 1060 market share on the Steam Hardware Survey charts. Thus, it is no wonder that multiple gamers are still playing the latest AAA titles with this entry-level card.
Since the GPUs do not pack a ton of computing power, figuring out the best settings for a steady 60 FPS gameplay can be a bit of a chore. Thus, this guide will list the best settings for the 1650 and the 1650 Super.
The GTX 1650 and 1650 Super handle Hogwarts Legacy, but with some hiccups
It is worth noting that the GTX 1650 and the 1650 Super are not the most powerful graphics cards on the market. These entry-level GPUs were launched in 2019 and are based on the Turing architecture.
Thus, gamers cannot max out Hogwarts Legacy with either GPU, even at 1080p. The game can run at a decent framerate with the following tweaks applied.
