GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is built on the Turing architecture with the TU117 chip. It contains 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. The base clock is 1485 MHz, the boost clock is 1665 MHz, and memory runs at 2001 MHz, rated as 8 Gbps effective. The card has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, producing 128.1 GB/s of bandwidth. Peak FP32 throughput is 2.984 TFLOPS, and FP16 throughput reaches 5.967 TFLOPS. The GPU's launch MSRP was 149 USD.

In Minimum, the measured data sets the GTX 1650 clearly as a 1080p-oriented part. At 1920x1080, the preset range goes from 78.9 FPS on Low to 62.4 on Medium, 51.2 on High, and 41.1 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the same card produces 53.3 FPS on Low, 43 on Medium, 33.1 on High, and 27.8 on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 29.5 on Low, 25.1 on Medium, 17.4 on High, and 13.4 on Ultra. This steep decline matches the modest memory bandwidth and shading resources of the card. The GTX 1650 sits at the 43rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 8713.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling in Minimum is severe for this combination. On Low settings, the measured average FPS is 78.9 at 1920x1080, 53.3 at 2560x1440, and 29.5 at 3840x2160. On Medium, the progression is 62.4, 43, and 25.1. On High, it is 51.2, 33.1, and 17.4. On Ultra, it is 41.1, 27.8, and 13.4. Every preset loses a substantial amount of performance when moving from 1440p to 4K.

This pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component. The CPU's benchmark profile is strong enough that resolution changes should not disproportionately punish the whole system if the processor were the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 78.9 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 29.5 FPS. Since the same CPU and GPU are used at every resolution, the frame-rate collapse is best explained by the GTX 1650's inability to keep pace with the increasing pixel load. The 4K results, regardless of preset, stay near or below the 30 FPS mark, which reinforces the conclusion that this pairing is not suited for 4K gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data includes only average FPS values; the min and max fields are not reported for these rows.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 78.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 62.4 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 51.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 41.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 53.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 43 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 33.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 27.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 29.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 25.1 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 17.4 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 13.4 |

At every resolution, the ordering is consistent: Low is the fastest preset, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra as the slowest. At 1080p, the spread is about 37.8 FPS between Low and Ultra. At 1440p, the spread narrows to 25.5 FPS. At 4K, the spread is only 16.1 FPS, showing that even Low settings cannot free the GPU from being overwhelmed at that resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, based on Zen 3 with the Cezanne codename. It has a 3.60 GHz base clock and a 4.20 GHz boost clock, with a 65 W TDP. The cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory over a dual-channel bus, with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The processor is built for AMD Socket AM4 and connects through PCIe Gen 3. The CPU's launch MSRP was $159.

Benchmark results show a capable processor. In Cinebench R23, it scores 16429 in multicore and 2319 in single-core. In 3DMark, it scores 5411 with max threads and 836 in the single-thread test. PassMark results show 19330 in multithread and 3058 in single-thread. The CPU is placed in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20875. Its nearest rivals are closely grouped: the Intel Core i5-12500 averages 20897, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE averages 20900, the AMD EPYC 7J13 averages 20845, and the Intel Core i5-12600T averages 20917.

In Minimum, the CPU does not appear to be the main constraint. The 1080p Ultra result of 41.1 FPS and the 1080p High result of 51.2 FPS are well below what the CPU's strong multithreaded scores would suggest as a processing ceiling. The large frame-rate drops tied to resolution changes point to the GTX 1650 as the limiting component. The processor's 12 threads and 4.20 GHz boost clock provide enough headroom for this game's measured results to be governed by the GPU.

Settings Recommendations

The best measured experience in this data set is 1920x1080 with Medium settings. That preset delivers 62.4 FPS, which is above High's 51.2 FPS and Ultra's 41.1 FPS, while Low remains available at 78.9 FPS for users who want the highest measured frame rate. Medium is the strongest balance in the measured rows because it stays above the 60 FPS mark while still offering more graphical workload than Low.

At 2560x1440, Low is the only measured preset above 50 FPS, with 53.3 FPS. Medium falls to 43 FPS, High to 33.1 FPS, and Ultra to 27.8 FPS. If 1440p is the target resolution, the data points to Low as the usable option, but even that preset is noticeably slower than 1080p Medium.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 30 FPS in the measured data. Low averages 29.5 FPS, Medium averages 25.1 FPS, High averages 17.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 13.4 FPS. The data does not support 4K as a viable target for this combination in Minimum.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 + NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 ranks 1654th out of 1733 tested combos in Minimum. That places this combination in the lower portion of the benchmark database for this game.

The low rank is consistent with the GPU's modest standing. The GTX 1650 sits at the 43rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 8713. The CPU, by contrast, sits at the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20875. The CPU's nearest rivals are tightly matched, with the Intel Core i5-12500 at 20897 and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE at 20900. The GPU's nearest rivals are also close, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile at 8746 and the AMD Radeon 550X at 8749.

The measured game data follows the same pattern: the CPU has more headroom than the GPU in aggregate benchmarks, and the actual FPS in Minimum is limited by graphics workload. The combo's rank of 1654 out of 1733 reflects that imbalance. Improving the frame rate in Minimum would require addressing the GPU side of the pairing, since the processor's measured performance profile is far stronger than the graphics card's.
