Can the NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) run Phantom Blade Zero? (2026)

⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

~39 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Phantom Blade Zero is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 39 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	39
1440p	9	24
4K	5	14

💡 Phantom Blade Zero: Unreal Engine 5 - turn off ray tracing and lower Lumen GI first for high frame rates.

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

At 1080p expect around 39 FPS, at 1440p about 24 FPS, and at 4K roughly 14 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
