Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 (6GB) run South of Midnight? (2026)

✅ Yes

~65 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 (6GB) is a entry-level card with 6GB of VRAM, and South of Midnight is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 65 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 43 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	43	65
1440p	26	60
4K	14	37

💡 South of Midnight: The stop-motion look is an art style, not a frame-rate problem - it runs smoothly.

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

At 1080p expect around 65 FPS, at 1440p about 60 FPS, and at 4K roughly 37 FPS with optimized settings. With only 6GB 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.
