Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord on GeForce GTX 1050

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The GeForce GTX 1050 meets Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~30 fps at 1080p high (range 24–36, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 2 GB of video memory is below the 3 GB the game recommends. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3050 6GB (~67 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1050 back.
Processor needed for ~30 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i5-9600K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~30 fps.

Video memory

GeForce GTX 1050: 2 GB
Minimum spec: 2 GB (+0 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 3 GB (1 GB short)
