The Nvidia GTX 1650 is limited in terms of graphics rendering quality. The GPU just packs 4 GB of VRAM, a major problem even when trying to play at 1080p. However, The First Descendant supports AMD FSR with frame generation, and that comes in handy to deliver a playable framerate in the game.

A mix of Medium and Low graphics settings works best for the game. It doesn't look the best with these settings, but it ensures a stable framerate.

The detailed settings list for the game is as follows:

• Graphics: Custom

Performance

• Upscale type: AMD FSR
• Upscale mode: Balanced
• Vsync: Off
• Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: On
• Frame generation: On
• Frame rate limiter: Unlimited

Advanced settings

• Visibility: Medium
• Anti-aliasing: High
• Post-processing: Medium
• Shadows: Low
• Global illumination: High
• Reflections: Low
• Textures: Low
• Effects: High
• Vegetation: Medium
• Shader quality: Medium

The Nvidia GTX 1650 Super is slightly more powerful than its non-Super sibling. However, we don't recommend any higher graphics options than for the 1650. The Low and Medium settings with FSR frame generation turned on delivers a smooth 40-50 FPS experience.

The detailed settings list for the game is as follows:

• Graphics: Custom

Performance

• Upscale type: AMD FSR
• Upscale mode: Balanced

• Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: On
• Frame generation: On
• Frame rate limiter: Unlimited

Advanced settings

The Nvidia 1650 and 1650 Super are some of the weakest GPUs today. Gamers on these entry-level cards need to crank down the settings in most 2024 releases to maintain a decent framerate. However thanks to FSR with frame generation, you can get a playable FPS with some compromises to the visual quality options.
