The NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and The Last of Us Part I is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 32 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 43 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 24 FPS at 4K. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in The Last of Us Part I at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
