    The GeForce GTX 1650 is capable of running some light to decently demanding games at 1080p should you be on a severe budget of $150~160+ for the graphics card. But if you can afford it, going for the Radeon RX 580~590 at dollars above $200 USD or the GeForce GTX 1660 at $219 USD will deliver much greater potential for running Linux games at higher quality 1080p settings than would be possible with the GTX 1650. But for the price the GeForce GTX 1650 is a decent contender and an option that doesn't require an external PCI Express power connector. The Linux support for the GeForce GTX 1650 is in great shape and similar to the other Turing graphics cards, assuming you are okay with using the proprietary graphics driver stack.

    Performance now seems pretty good overall too, with some settings on Ultra it mostly remains at 60FPS and above and it does feel smooth. So with the Linux version, it's really looking good. Not just performance though, graphically it's actually pretty good looking too.

    You can pick it up from Humble Store and Steam.

    The Linux landscape has changed dramatically since we released the initial version of Steam for Linux, and as such, we are re-thinking how we want to approach distribution support going forward. There are several distributions on the market today that offer a great gaming desktop experience such as Arch Linux, Manjaro, Pop!_OS, Fedora, and many others. We'll be working closer with many more distribution maintainers in the future. If you're working on such a distribution and don't feel your project has a direct line of contact with us, by all means, have a representative reach out directly.

    What we’re seeing today is a level of gaming performance on Linux that simply wasn’t happening a year ago. Or even 6 months ago. Parity is being achieved more frequently, and while you still can’t play every Windows game under the sun, the landscape looks brighter as each day rolls on. Plus, this little test was leveraging Nvidia GPUs. I suspect that once Valve’s ACO compiler matures, a similar experiment on Radeon GPUs may show even stronger performance when compared to Windows.
