On a NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), The Outer Worlds 2 runs at roughly 60 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 23FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 60 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 23 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 60 FPS at 1080p and 36 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 21 FPS at 4K. The Outer Worlds 2 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1650 Ti (laptop, 4GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Outer Worlds 2 at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 23 | 60 |
| 1440p | 14 | 36 |
| 4K | 8 | 21 |

Turn on FSR (Balanced), keep ray tracing off for maximum FPS, and ease the heaviest options like Global Illumination (Lumen) and Shadow Quality down a notch. The full per-setting breakdown is above.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
