Best Starfield graphics settings for Nvidia GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Super

The Nvidia GTX 1650 series continues to be the most popular graphics card ever launched, according to Steam hardware survey charts. These GPUs are entry-level 1080p gaming-focused entries from a couple of generations ago. With massive improvements over the last-gen GTX 1050 and 1050 Ti, these cards quickly became a fan favorite. The best part is they continue to deliver to date.

Both the 1650 and the slightly faster 1650 Super are able to handle Starfield, the latest and most demanding entry from Bethesda at FHD. However, do note that gamers will need to sacrifice the visuals to maintain a decent experience.

In this article, we will go over the many graphics settings for the upcoming space explorer. We will be targeting a 1080p 60 FPS experience in the title.
