Best A Plague Tale: Requiem settings for the RTX 3050 Laptop (2026)

On a RTX 3050 Laptop (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), A Plague Tale: Requiem runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 36FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The RTX 3050 Laptop is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and A Plague Tale: Requiem is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 36 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 52 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 30 FPS at 4K. A Plague Tale: Requiem supports ray tracing and the RTX 3050 Laptop can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in A Plague Tale: Requiem 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.

Recommended settings
Upscaling — DLSSBalanced+55% FPS
A Plague Tale: Requiem supports DLSS and FSR plus frame generation. A big help - the rat scenes are very demanding.
Ray-Traced Ambient OcclusionOffsaves FPS
Adds ray-traced contact shadows. A nice touch but a real cost - keep Off for high FPS.
Screen-Space ReflectionsOff+6% FPS
Reflections on water and wet surfaces. Low is plenty in the grim countryside.
Shadow MapsMedium+5% FPS
Shadow map resolution and range. High is the value pick.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Effects QualityHighbaseline
Drives the thousands of on-screen rats and fire - the heaviest setting in the swarm scenes. High smooths them a lot.
Volumetric LightsHighbaseline
Atmospheric fog and god rays - core to the look but a real cost. High is a clean trade.
Draw DistanceHighbaseline
How far the world and grass render at full detail. Mild pop-in when lowered.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
Anti-AliasingHighbaseline
Edge smoothing. Medium/High keeps the image clean cheaply.
