is the RTX 3050 laptop GPU capable of running the last of us games?

4GB vram is it possible for the last of us?

it should be playable at low to medium settings. depends how you balance the settings. resolution and dlss vs. textures. 4 GB vram is on the low end. framerate and general performance depends on your cpu. you should have a 6c/12t cpu for more then 60 fps. it will be lower on less. some lower cpu setups reportedly got it over or close to 60 tho.

change to laptop? still the same. should be playable. laptop just lowers the resolution. and maybe framerate. depends on the display. i reckon it's a 60 Hz display? the only vsync bump down is 30 fps on the that. shrugs

Na the GPU is the most important not CPU.
4Go VRAM is very low and i think you will stutter.
Also keep in mind laptop can't cool like a desktop so your GPU is around -20% perf vs desktop 3050.

I agree with the comments above, it seems kinda iffy whether or not a 3050 laptop is going to give you an enjoyable game-play experience, even at low/med settings.

the cpu is more important for asset management and rendering setup. it moves data around. and it's got a bit to move with just 4 GB vram. the gpu is just rendering. the higher the resolution the more it's stressed. dlss saves alot for performance.

i'm also comparing to my setup. a 6c/12t cpu and a 3060 with 6GB. running in cool and quiet mode. very "on brand" for amd. 900p with dlss and medium. throttled cpu at ~70% and gpu at ~50%. note: throttled from max turbo it runs consistent. 48 fps locked to vsync correcty to 144 Hz. there are 3050 laptops out there, that could run this spec too and have a 144 Hz panel to run it 48 fps locked. which is the best tradeoff for running it on a laptop like this, imho.

i play on a 3070 and even on low ettings i average 40 frames

what cpu you got? what section you looking at? and what's the graphics settings? might just tweak the settings until it runs 60 or more. what's wrong with that?

maybe 30 fps on 480p all on ULTRA low .

Dell G5 (GTX 1660Ti)

• Medium Graphics (no raytrace)
  
• 60fps capped

The word 'maybe' does a lot of heavy lifting to justify inaccurate info.
And looking at your other posts, it looks deliberate.

As someone with a 3050ti laptop, I can say that it is playable at 1080p around mediumish settings 60-80fps. Before version 1.0.4 (I believe that was when it got better), it was 100% not playable even at 720p 30fps. For reference, my PC has 32GB of DDR4 3200 and an i5-12500h and my 3050ti is configured at 95w. I have some capture footage if you'd like to see it, about 10 minutes of gameplay with MSI overlay turned on so that you can see what the system is doing the whole time.

I agree with this comment, A LOT of people will tell you the game is unplayable with 4GB of VRAM but that isn't true anymore not to mention that half the people in these discussions are intent on spreading misinformation or are just ignorant and don't know any better.

You might be able to play it but why would you want too? Why spend $60 on the type of experience you will get from such low end hardware?

Take the money you'd spend on these games, put it in a jar, and use it to build a dedicated gaming PC or buy a PS5 down the road when you have money saved up.

[Jedimindtrickonyou]

We shouldn't make assumptions, maybe they travel a lot and want to play it on-the-go. I have a 3050ti laptop as well as a PS5 and a desktop PC with better hardware than than either my laptop or PS5.

The game still has issues.

But a lot of negativity is borne from grievance at how they see this game as a 'social justice' boogeyman.
* they'll cite 10y old game, then coo over RE4R
* they'll cite remake vs remaster, when the engine is different while other 'remakes' are on the same platform(PC)
* they'll claim 'muh joel' but George RR Martin's GameOfThrones exists.

They didn't like it when they heard Abby was Trans.
Then didn't like it when Abby - though not trans - was muscular instead of big tiddied anime girl.

They jacket a myriad of excuses because of these issues.

I don’t think that’s where most of the complaints are coming from in regards to performance, at least I hope not. It did have severe problems at launch and still could be better in that sense. Part 2 is a great game if you go into it with an open mind and don’t listen to those mouth breathers. It’s 93 on Metacritic for a reason, and I am so sick of these people trying to reduce games to these single syllable words like “woke”, “mid”, etc. Most of the people who complain about part 2 (the ones who haven’t played it but are first to say it’s part of a “woke agenda”) legitimately believe that Abby is a trans because she has muscles and isn’t feminine.

So does this game work yet or should i wait?
