Space Engineers 2 on GeForce RTX 3050 6GB
No. The GeForce RTX 3050 6GB is below Space Engineers 2's minimum spec (Radeon RX 5600 XT). Our model still estimates ~40 fps at 1080p low (range 32–48, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB (~62 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 40 | 28 | 17 |
| medium | 31 | 21 | 13 |
| high | 24 | 16 | 10 |
| ultra | 19 | 13 | 8 |
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: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 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 6GB back.
- Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~24 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3050 6GB: 6 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
