Best F1 23 graphics settings for GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 Super

F1 23 is the latest video game in Codemasters's long-running car racing series. The game is optimized pretty well in some old hardware, namely the GTX 1650 and the 1650 Super. According to the Steam hardware survey charts, the non-Super variant is the most popular video card ever built. Thus, it's no surprise that developers are optimizing their video games for this card.

Gamers should, however, note that they might have to dial down the settings to get a playable framerate in the latest F1 game. The game features all of the latest technologies in graphics rendering, like ray tracing and temporal upscaling. The 1650 and the 1650 Super supports neither of them.

Thus, in this article, we will go over the best settings that will deliver a decent experience in F1 23 with a 50-class card from a couple of generations ago without significant performance issues.

Best F1 23 graphics settings for the Nvidia GTX 1650

The GTX 1650 can efficiently run F1 23 with a mixture of low and medium settings applied in the game. Do note that you might have to rely on some form of upscaling (AMD FSR or dynamic resolution) to hit a stable 60 FPS in the game. However, if you are fine with something around 30-40 frames, you can let the game render at native 1080p.

The best F1 23 graphics settings for the GTX 1650 are as follows:

The GTX 1650 and 1650 Super can still handle some of the latest games without major issues. However, they are pretty much at the bottom of the crop in terms of delivering a decent gaming experience. Thus, we don't recommend it unless you are willing to play video games at 1080p 30 FPS in the lowest settings.
