Can the NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) run Elden Ring? (2026)

👍 Yes, with tuned settings

~47 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Elden Ring is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 47 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 23 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	23	47
1440p	14	28
4K	8	16

💡 Elden Ring: Engine-locked to 60 FPS — aim for a rock-solid 60 rather than more.

At 1080p expect around 47 FPS, at 1440p about 28 FPS, and at 4K roughly 16 FPS with optimized settings. Elden Ring doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
