Geralt of Rivia looks best in The Witcher 3. The game was developed as a PC title and the optimization is on another level. On most machines, the Witcher 3 runs smooth like butter but of course, if you select the appropriate setting for your hardware.

The game was released back in 2015 and even today it looks up to date, especially on Ultra. Speaking of which, when the settings are bumped to the max, the mid-range GPUs are struggling to reach the 60 FPS mark. So, for today’s comparison, we are about to see the FPS result of the GeForce GTX 1650 [40W, 896 CUDA, GDDR6] and the GeForce GTX 1650 [50W, 1024 CUDA, GDDR5].

Stay tuned!

Verdict

Let’s start like this – both video cards are worthy performers when we are talking about The Witcher 3. If you need at least 60 FPS with GeForce GTX 1650 [40W], you must aim at the Medium preset – 71 FPS is just fine. For the ones who always want the best possible graphics quality, the 40W GPU can handle the game with 39 FPS and we can consider this as a good result for a video card with a decreased TGP.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 [50W] can give you even more FPS. No matter the settings, this GPU is always faster – 71 FPS on High and 47 FPS on Ultra are decent values for a mid-ranger like this one.
