Path of Exile 2 on GeForce GTX 1650
Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1650 meets Path of Exile 2's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~37 fps at 1080p medium (range 30–45, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 4 GB of video memory covers the 3 GB the game requires at minimum. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 49 | 34 | 20 |

| high | 29 | 20 | 12 |
| ultra | 23 | 16 | 10 |
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: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
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 ~37 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~29 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1650: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 3 GB (+1 GB headroom)
