The NVIDIA RTX 4050 (laptop, 6GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 6GB of VRAM, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 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 64 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 37 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 64 FPS at 1080p and 60 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 34 FPS at 4K. With only 6GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 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.
