Can the NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) run Shadow of the Tomb Raider? (2026)

✅ Yes

~61 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3050 (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 61 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 34 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	34	61
1440p	20	40
4K	12	22

💡 Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Well-optimised with DLSS; ray-traced shadows are the heaviest option - turn them off first.

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

At 1080p expect around 61 FPS, at 1440p about 40 FPS, and at 4K roughly 22 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
