Best Until Dawn settings for the RTX 3050 Laptop (2026)

On a RTX 3050 Laptop (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Until Dawn runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 33FPS 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 Until Dawn is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 33 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 62 FPS at 1080p and 41 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 23 FPS at 4K. Until Dawn 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 Until Dawn 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.

💡 Until Dawn: Unreal Engine 5 remake - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up; turn off RT reflections and lower Lumen GI first.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
