Can the NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) run Marathon? (2026)

👍 Yes, with tuned settings

~57 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 2050 (laptop) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Marathon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 57 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 25 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	25	57
1440p	15	34
4K	8	20

💡 Marathon: Bungie extraction shooter - busy zones are partly CPU-bound; upscaling helps the GPU side.

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

At 1080p expect around 57 FPS, at 1440p about 34 FPS, and at 4K roughly 20 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 DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
