Dear Diary on GeForce RTX 5050
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5050 is well above Dear Diary's recommended spec. We estimate ~129 fps at 1080p high (range 103–154, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~90 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 219 | 153 | 92 |
| medium | 167 | 117 | 70 |
| high | 129 | 90 | 54 |
| ultra | 103 | 72 | 43 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 5050 back.
- Processor needed for ~129 fps: Core i7-10700K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 5 2600): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 129.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 5050: 8 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (+4 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+0 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
