RTX 4050 laptop question

[SSJ Rick ム]

Hey!

I'd like to buy a "gaming" laptop in the next month and No Man's Sky is one of those games I would like to play on it. Has anyone played this game on a laptop with an rtx 4050 and could tell me how it works? is 60 fps on high settings possible?

pc Desktop RTX 4070 super 12 gb questa potrebbe andare bene

I'm using an HP Victus laptop with a 4060 8GB, i7-14650HX, 16 GB DDR5-5600 144Hz display and can run everything on max (ultra) and get over 100FPS @1080P usually (Worlds Pt 2 update has dropped it below 100 occasionally).

I have an Asus AMD Ryzen 7 laptop with a 4050 RTX and play on Ultra with Super Resolution enabled. Runs like a hot knife through butter.

Keep in mind a laptop 4050 isn't the same as a desktop 4050. I recommend you watch some youtube vids comparing laptop GPUs to desktop GPUs.

But from what I can remember is, a laptop RTX 4050 is comparable to the desktop GTX 1660 Ti and slightly outperforms the desktop RTX 2060.

Hope that helps.

PC is always better but I don't have space

Well, Your laptop is much stronger and better than laptop I want to buy but glad to hear that even 100 fps is possibile but what about the temperatures? Does the laptop get very hot? People often joke that you can fry scrambled eggs on the laptop because it's so hot, but idk haha

I know that, but what you're saying can't be true. The RTX 4050 in a laptop is more powerful than the GTX 1660ti, I've heard opinions that it's as powerful as the rtx 2060 or even more powerful.

sir there is no rtx 4050 on desktop rtx 4050 is officialy laptop gpu dont be misstaken

You do know that this is an 8 year old game that was optimized for hot cpu and gpu ... as of 8 years ago ... Right?

ANYTHING that you buy in the way of a "gaming laptop" currently will be FINE with it.

That's why I quoted the full specs rather than just saying "a 4060 can run it on ultra".
Heat hasn't really been a problem, but I do have a cheap (US$25) two-fan cooling pad that I usually sit it on, just in case.

FWIW, I've run it since Worlds Part 2 on high settings at a stable 50-60 FPS on my old desktop (AMD FX8370 and AMD RX580) and on low-medium settings on my even older desktop (AMD PhenomII and a GTX 1060).

Unless you are at the very budget end of laptops (Intel Celeron CPU or AMD integrated crud), any laptop CPU is going to walk all over that FX8370. And a RTX 4050 should also outperform the old RX580 quite easily too.

Back in 2016 I ran it on that Phenom II with an AMD R9 280 3GB GPU with high settings. The game has advanced quite a bit in 8 years, and that GPU would struggle on low today.

Thanks bro, I remember No Man's Sky from 2016 - at that time this game was too powerful for all gaming laptops, but now it has changed. Well, cooling pad is always a good idea for a laptop. Btw, that's pretty impressive that you have almost 9000 hours in No Man's Sky, congratulations? I guess so.

I live in memories from 2016 when this game was too powerful for gaming laptops, it's hard to believe how much technology has developed

[SSJ Rick ム]

Btw, do you also have the impression that the game looks 100x better on ultra than on high settings?

[catch22atplay]

The 4050 laptop is more then capable of maintaining 60fps with Ultra settings at 1080p. The problem is the limitation of 6gb of vram. Some games have major issues with only 6gb vram and some just getting the game to run can be extremely frustrating. At least a 4060 mobile has 8gb vram so way less issues. So just a heads up.

I'd never get a 4050 mobile gpu myself as the hardware limitation kills it for me. I'd rather wait an extra month or 2 or whatever to save up for the added cost of getting a 4060 mobile gpu. And that's just the absolute minimum gpu i'd get. But ya money and time can dictate what you can get. And a 4050 mobile is still a pretty good gpu.
