RTX 4050

Can you play this with a RTX 4050?

Don't bother.

Currently, it's not so much an issue of hardware as it is the game itself being technically broken. I've got a 4090 and it's a galaxy of stutters and dropped frames.

I completed the game on an AMD Radeon RX 6600M (8GB). User Benchmark reports that my GPU is typically 30% weaker than your RTX 4050.

I completed the game prior to Patch 9 on the Medium Graphics preset, at 720p*. I rarely needed the full performance of the GPU, and could probably scale the graphics higher if I had more VRAM.

The game seems to be heavily CPU bound on my 8-Core / 16-Thread, 4.4GHz Boost, Zen 3, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, wherein the typically lower frame rate of my CPU constrains the performance of the game (even constraining it down to only 4 cores at the worst points).

The game will be playable, but don't expect a high quality AAA experience.

* The game typically gets unstable without any upscaling, and so I upscaled using FSR Quality to the 1920x1080 resolution of my monitor, from 720p internal rendering resolution.

I am curious as to why I did not suffer these problems when I played it

The game received mixed reviews, so presumably, not all players "suffered".

This may be down to some level of sensitivity, particularly with regards to frame rates and stuttering. Those with higher sensitivities to frame rate may prefer the PC with the potential for 60 FPS, over the console standard of 30 FPS.

The "PC Gamer Master Race" has long valued personal effort in optimizing systems, like mechanics often tune automobiles, which presumably heightens sensitivity to frame rate. You might have heard of medical doctors who could "smell" disease, or mechanics who could diagnose issues just buy listening, likewise PC "gamers" are typically more sensitive to frame rates.

This is especially true, when you move from the "master race" into the "Pro Gamer" category of highly competitive e-sports, where 200+ FPS provides nominal gains of diminishing returns for a competitive edge. 90 FPS could be considered to be the minimum, with allowances for 60 FPS 1% Low minimum frame rate due to "tradition".

The casual gamer often doesn't tune video games to their personal gaming computers, just sticking with the unoptimized default graphics the game sets, which results in more uneven frame rates. The experience for which more sensitive players complain, may well be the typical experience of more casual gamers.

Jedi: Survivor raised the cost of new AAA experiences, which carries with it an expectation of being "formal" release to dress up for / demonstrate the quality of an enthusiast build. When attending such a formal "function", one is expected to enlist the services of a professional tailor in regards to one's outfit (game) (a.k.a. "achieve butter smooth FPS"). A step beyond grabbing a scruffy something off the rack or shelf.

Jedi: Survivor showed up to a formal function looking like a "Scruffy looking nerf herder".
