Duke Nukem 3D FPS questions

Does Duke Nukem 3D have an FPS cap?
Yes. Duke Nukem 3D caps the frame rate at 60 FPS by default, so a faster graphics card will not show more than 60 FPS.
What graphics card do I need for 60 FPS in Duke Nukem 3D at 1080p?
By our estimate (±30%), the GTX 1650 is the least powerful of our 10 reference cards to reach 60 FPS at 1080p High, at about 60 FPS. No published benchmark of Duke Nukem 3D at that setting is in our data to confirm it.
Can a GTX 1650 run Duke Nukem 3D?
By our estimate it gets about 60 FPS at 1080p Low (smooth) and 60 FPS at 1080p High (smooth), each ±30%.
What are the minimum system requirements for Duke Nukem 3D?
Steam lists Any GPU graphics and Intel 486DX2 66 MHz as the minimum.
