⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 (2GB) is a entry-level card with 2GB of VRAM, and 007 First Light is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 38 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 16 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	16	38
1440p	10	23
4K	6	13

💡 007 First Light: Glacier engine (the Hitman engine) is well-optimised - upscaling plus High settings hits high frame rates comfortably.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 38 FPS, at 1440p about 23 FPS, and at 4K roughly 13 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
