is a 3050 rtx good enough for dark ages?

[jotchua]

I meet every other requirement, but I'm unsure about my gpu. before you ask, I did try google, but all I got was ai crap and inconclusive answers.

If you have the 3050 8gb yes, the 6gb version no. Since the official minimum requirement is a raytracing capable GPU with 8GB of vram.

And even then you cannot turn everything to ultra.

I already watched a vid with the Indiana Jones game with somebody using a 4060, since that too has only 8GB of vram.

As the Indiana Jones game has almost the same requirements (both minimum and recommended), I'll just use that to predict how the Dark Ages will run.

When everything is set to ultra, the 4060 can only avg about 25 fps, because 8GB of vram isn't enough. However, if you tune the shadows and texture quality down to medium, yet keep all the other settings at ultra, the 4060 avg about 85 fps.

In short, your 3050 rtx can work, but only if you're willing to have all the settings turned to medium.

took a while to respond, but it seems I'm set. I have the 8gb version, so even if I won't be able to crank Dark Ages to it's maximum, It's still probably gonna look great.

Signed in to say thank you for recommending Indiana Jones as a benchmark, had no idea this game was so beefy in it's system requirements. As a doom fanboy since I was 10 years old in December of 93, I had a little anxiety if my system would even run Doom but now at least I have something to compare to, so again, thank you.

What's so surprising about the fact that you can't use 'Ultra' settings with a 3050? 😂😂 Is this really something that needs to be pointed out? 😂
Do you truly think that those who buy **90 cards, spending thousands of dollars just to play at the HIGH END side of the market, are idiots?
Ohhhhh, look—you can't enable extreme settings on a low-end card... Wow, shocking... 😂

Yes, obviously you wont be able to crank up the game to ultra nightmare settings on a 3050, those settings are irrelevant to anyone who just wants to play the game on a 3050.

Sorry, no, even the GTX 1060 can beat this card...

[DINOMAN1337YT TRUMP2025]

any card should be fine as there are ways to optimise games for any piece of hardware and even if you're not getting the fps you desire you can use my lil friend called Lossless Scaling to downscale the game and generate fake frames to give you the illusion that you are actually playing it an extremely high framerate.

The main game i am using it for right now is an indie game called The Elder scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered. With the game set to max graphics and hardware RT set to ultra i am able to get around 160 to 200+ fps at 2560x1600p resolution uncapped framerate . Of course it depends on a multitude of factors like the resolution you play at the fps you're used to getting , and then of course ray tracing and the settings you use in Lossless Scaling personally i prefer to use LS1 as it gives me better performance and higher frames.

according to the game's requirements chart which you can look up, the minimum GPU for 1080p, Low, 60fps is either an RX 6600 or an RTX 2060 Super. specifically, it says 6GB GPU's won't work, you NEED 8GB. as long as you have the 8GB card it should work. the next notch on the chart is 1440p, High, 60fps and it requires an RTX 3080 on an RX 6800. crucially, it says for High, you need at least 10GB of VRAM. so just so your clear, it's loking likely you can play it, but you'll need to play at 1080p on the lowest settings, maybe a dash of medium sprinkled in

if you're rockin an RTX 3050 tho, i would URGE you to have a look at the full system requirements chart (just google it) and check your CPU and RAM is enough too, they made the game disproportionately heavy (thanks ID for forcing RT in your game for no good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, "hit detection" is NOT a good reason and needlessly consumes VRAM in exchange for NOTHING that couldn't have been done with a rasterised fallback that had the exact same feature set)

you should not be running ultra on games on low end hardware. ultra is ment for entry level high end hardware. a 3050 is low entry.

[UNBREAKABLE]

So much obsession with running this game on ultra it seems. Eternal barely looked better on Ultra Nightmare settings compared to medium yet the performance difference was huge.

Probably will be a similar situation here - you shouldn't be maxing the game out anyway if performance is a true concern. If you want it to look like a tech demo with extra details you won't see without staring - sure, max out the settings but don't expect it to run perfectly. Especially for those wanting to play at 4k or have FPS above 100.
