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.
