I mean it's obviously not a high end card but it's still pretty good. I gamed on a GTX1050Ti on 3440x1440 for a while and even GTAV ran okay (granted on lower settings). 

Maybe you can squeeze a little more for a 1650Ti, that would help a lot. You should definitely look at the used market too.

Get a 1650 Super it's $10 more and has quite a bit faster. Or get a RX 570 or RX 580, these are older cards but will be equal to the GTX 1650, and might be cheaper.

Welcome to the forum!

 

The 1650 is decent enough for 1080p and High details I'd say in most games, but the two games you mentioned are not yet released and we've yet to see any official system requirements for them, so who knows how a 1650 will fare with them.

I would suggest also checking pricing for the 1650 Super, as it offers quite a notable performance boost for not much added cost. Also, check the used market for GTX 1070s and 1070Tis. If you can find any good deals on those, they'll outperform even the 1650 Super.
