Can the NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) run The Outer Worlds 2? (2026)

✅ Yes

~64 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 5050 (laptop, 8GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB 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 i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 64 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	48	64
1440p	29	62
4K	16	44

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

🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Quality) — about +35% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 64 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 44 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB 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.
