Best Satisfactory settings for the NVIDIA RTX 3050 (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 3050 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Satisfactory runs at roughly 79 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 59FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Satisfactory is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 79 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 59 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 79 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 54 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Satisfactory: Unreal Engine 5 - late-game mega-factories become CPU-bound.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSQuality+35% FPS
Satisfactory (Unreal Engine 5) supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. A free FPS boost - and big factories lean on the CPU, so enable it first.
Texture QualityEpic-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap on FPS if it fits your VRAM.
Global Illumination (Lumen)Highbaseline
Software Lumen bounce lighting - the heaviest setting. High over Epic is a big saving across sprawling factories.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High looks nearly identical to Epic while running faster.
Foliage QualityHighbaseline
Grass and plant density in the wilderness. A real cost early game; lower once your factory takes over.
View DistanceFarbaseline
How far the world renders - also helps see your conveyor sprawl. Far is the value pick.
Screen Space ReflectionsLowbaseline
Reflections on water and metal. Low is plenty around a factory.
VFXHighbaseline
Machine, particle and conveyor effects. Medium keeps big factories smooth.
Post ProcessingHighbaseline
Bloom, motion blur and effects. Cheap; set to taste.
Anti-AliasingMediumbaseline
Edge smoothing across the factory. Medium keeps it clean cheaply.
