Call of Duty: Warzone 2 brings a plethora of new additions and upgrades over its predecessor. It expands on the previous title and improves upon numerous fronts. Warzone 2's map, Al Mazrah, is big and contains varied terrains. Several aspects of this map shine through the latest graphical upgrades and beautifully designed waterways.

The GTX 1650 is a low-to-mid-range GPU that was launched back in 2019. While it is targeted at consumers who want a casual gaming experience, it outdid itself and is capable of running many titles at 1080p with decent framerates without comprising much of the visual aspects of the games.

Being a next-generation title, Warzone 2 takes up a lot of the system's resources. While the Nvidia GTX 1650 performs brilliantly in esports titles, it falls behind when it comes to triple-A games in 2022. This article takes a closer look at the settings that owners of the GTX 1650 should be using to play Warzone 2.

Warzone 2 on GTX 1650 isn't a pleasant experience

The highly anticipated Warzone 2 has been taking the gaming world by storm, but its graphics-intensive gameplay poses a challenge for the GTX 1650, straining to maintain satisfactory framerates without sacrificing the game's rich, immersive graphics. But all is not lost. Warzone 2 offers a plethora of customizable settings, enabling users to fine-tune visual fidelity and optimize performance.

Each setting presents an opportunity to extract the maximum potential from your gaming session, transforming what may initially seem like a daunting task into a solvable puzzle. By adjusting these intricate details, users can construct an exceptional gaming experience, uniquely tailored to the capabilities of the GTX 1650.
