Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG released on April 24, 2025. The game is visually stunning, featuring a moving storyline and intense combat mechanics. It's available on different platforms, like Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
According to the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 minimum system requirements, the game requires at least a GTX 1060 to run smoothly. However, the GTX 1650 is not very far off in performance and can still handle the title at optimized settings. Those who own the GTX 1650 Super are more in luck, as it is slightly better than the GTX 1060.
This article lists the best settings for Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on the Intel GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Super, to help you get the best performance, without compromising too much on visual quality.

The GTX 1650 is slightly underpowered to run Clair Obscur Expedition 33 at recommended settings. Thus, we have to go with the lowest graphics preset. Luckily, the card can handle the game at 1080p, especially with the lower graphics settings. We've also enabled XeSS image upscaling and set it to Quality mode, which should grant you more visual quality and performance.
With the settings mentioned, you should be able to see upwards of 50-55 FPS. We recommend you only turn on VSync if you don't own a monitor that features Nvidia G-Sync or AMD FreeSync technologies.
