GeForce GTX 1650 [50W]	225 fps (+7%)	139 fps (+12%)	88 fps (+21%)

Verdict

No surprises here, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 [50W] is just faster, especially when it comes to Epic quality the performance gap isn’t that small – 21%. This means more frames and in online shooters, these things do matter.

The good news is that Overwatch looks good even on Low preset. If your laptop has a 144Hz display you can turn down the visual settings without worrying that you’ll see unpleasant and pixelated graphics. For people who like their games to be always maximum eye-candy, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 [50W] is a good choice while the 40W variant isn’t bad at all but it’s just slower.
