Can the NVIDIA GTX 1630 (4GB) run The Outer Worlds 2? (2026)

⚠️ Barely — only with upscaling and low settings

~42 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1630 (4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 42 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	42
1440p	10	26
4K	5	15

💡 The Outer Worlds 2: Unreal Engine 5 - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.

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

At 1080p expect around 42 FPS, at 1440p about 26 FPS, and at 4K roughly 15 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.
