Best Marvel Rivals settings for the NVIDIA GTX 650 (1GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 650 (1GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Marvel Rivals runs at roughly 18 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 8FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 650 (1GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 1GB of VRAM, and Marvel Rivals is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 18 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 8 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 18 FPS at 1080p and 11 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 6 FPS at 4K. Marvel Rivals offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 650 (1GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	8	18
1440p	5	11
4K	3	6

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
