Dark Souls III benchmark on RTX 4050 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dark Souls III FPS with a RTX 4050 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 99FPS min 69Good | 60FPS min 52Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| High | 128FPS min 90Excellent | 77FPS min 67Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Medium | 167FPS min 117Excellent | 101FPS min 88Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Low | 217FPS min 152Excellent | 131FPS min 114Excellent | 59FPS min 52Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 29% | balanced | GPU 57% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 4050 Laptop. There is 16% 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 4050 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 99 | 124 | 144 | 211 |
| 1440p | 60 | 81 | 99 | 138 |
| 4K | 27 | 39 | 50 | 66 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4050 Laptop 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.
With that CPU, the RTX 4050 Laptop has headroom to spare in Dark Souls III: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 4050 Laptop Enough for Dark Souls III?
The RTX 4050 Laptop delivers 99 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 60 FPS and at 4K 27 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Dark Souls III with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RTX 4050 Laptop or RTX 2070 Laptop for Dark Souls III?
In Dark Souls III at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 99 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
