Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on GeForce GTX 1650

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The GeForce GTX 1650 is well above Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition's recommended spec. We estimate ~171 fps at 1080p high (range 137–206, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~120 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 4 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
144 fps at 1080p: high preset

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1650 back.
Processor needed for ~171 fps: Core i7-10700K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 171.
