The Nvidia GTX 1650 and 1650 Super can play Counter Strike 2 with ease. According to the Steam Hardware Survey, these cards still rank among the most popular GPUs in the market. You can crank up the settings in the game with these GPUs. However, some tweaks are necessary for a good experience.

The settings in CS2 have changed only a bit when compared to CS:GO. Valve has added many video customization options in the new game particularly because it bundles a lot more visual effects than the last-gen.

Let's go over the best settings combination for the 1650 and 1650 Super.

The Nvidia GTX 1650 can play Counter Strike 2 with a mix of medium and high settings. The main option you need to crank down is multisampling anti-aliasing (MSAA). 4x is recommended since cranking it up to 8x will take off a bunch of performance from your game.

Our recommendation for the best settings combination in Counter Strike 2 is as follows:

Counter Strike 2 will run well on most modern gaming PCs without major performance hiccups.

Although performance on the GTX 1650 and 1650 Super is a bit less than what you could have gotten in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, you can still maintain close to 100 FPS with the above setting combinations applied.
