Dark Souls III benchmark on RTX 3050 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dark Souls III FPS with a RTX 3050 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 64FPS min 56Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 84FPS min 73Good | 53FPS min 47Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 109FPS min 95Good | 70FPS min 62Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 142FPS min 124Excellent | 90FPS min 79Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 34% | GPU 75% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050 6GB. There is 18% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Dark Souls III at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3050 6GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 64 | 80 | 93 |
| 1440p | 41 | 55 | 68 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 6GB does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
The RTX 3050 6GB and that processor are well matched in Dark Souls III: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3050 6GB Enough for Dark Souls III?
The RTX 3050 6GB delivers 64 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dark Souls III. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 41 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
