✅ Yes — easily

~100 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The RTX 4050 Laptop is a entry-level card with 6GB of VRAM, and Project Zomboid is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 100 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 100 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	100	100
1440p	100	100
4K	58	61

CPU-bound: in Project Zomboid, a Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU caps you near 100 FPS regardless of graphics settings.

💡 Project Zomboid: Isometric survival - almost entirely CPU-bound; Zombie Population is the biggest performance factor, not your GPU.

At 1080p expect around 100 FPS, at 1440p about 100 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. Project Zomboid doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
