The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB 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 64 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 61 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 36 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB 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.
