NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Linux Gaming Performance & Benchmarks

These tests are obviously focused on 1080p given the positioning of this $150 graphics card. With BioShock Infinite being quite an old Linux game port at this point, it was still tested as one of the mature Linux OpenGL games. For this game, the GTX 1650 was performing similar to the Radeon RX 580/590.

The GTX 1650 couldn't handle running the Linux port of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at 1080p with high quality settings where the average FPS was just 40, but does show it being better positioned at least than the likes of the GTX 960 and R9 285 Tonga.

The GTX 1650 could run Dota 2 with the Vulkan renderer with ease where for this Intel setup the performance was CPU bound. The Vulkan results put the NVIDIA driver performance still slightly ahead of the RADV driver.

When running under the game's OpenGL renderer, the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver shows off with it seeing overhead reductions recently and in this CPU bound scenario the AMD Polaris RX 580/590 cards coming out frames ahead of the NVIDIA cards tested.

F1 2018 runs on Linux under Steam Play with DXVK. With high quality settings at 1080p, the ASUS GeForce GTX 650 was very much playable and the minimum frame-rate recorded at 91 FPS.
