Horizon Zero Dawn benchmark on GTX 1650 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Horizon Zero Dawn FPS with a GTX 1650 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 31FPS min 27Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |
| High | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 23FPS min 21Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| Medium | 53FPS min 47Acceptable | 30FPS min 27Acceptable | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| Low | 68FPS min 60Good | 39FPS min 35Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 51% | GPU 72% | GPU 90% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Horizon Zero Dawn, it is not worth it. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Horizon Zero Dawn at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1650 Laptop with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 31 | 39 | 45 |
| 1440p | 18 | 24 | 30 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1650 Laptop has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1650 Laptop is what caps the frame rate in Horizon Zero Dawn. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1650 Laptop Enough for Horizon Zero Dawn?
The GTX 1650 Laptop delivers 31 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Horizon Zero Dawn. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 18 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
