Fallout 4 on GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU meets Fallout 4's recommended spec. We estimate ~74 fps at 1080p high (range 59–89, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~52 fps on high). Its 6 GB of video memory covers the 3 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 126 | 88 | 53 |
| medium | 97 | 68 | 41 |
| high | 74 | 52 | 31 |
| ultra | 59 | 42 | 25 |
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: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: medium preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
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 3050 Laptop GPU back.
- Processor needed for ~74 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-4790): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~74 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU: 6 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+4 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 3 GB (+3 GB headroom)
