RTX 3050 Specifications
These are the basic specs. The full RTX 3050 page adds the rest of the technical data and its FPS game by game, not just in Minecraft.

Minecraft benchmark on RTX 3050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Minecraft FPS with a RTX 3050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 191FPS min 99Excellent | 110FPS min 70Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| High | 248FPS min 128Excellent | 143FPS min 90Excellent | 57FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Medium | 324FPS min 167Excellent | 186FPS min 118Excellent | 75FPS min 66Good |
| Low | 420FPS min 217Excellent | 241FPS min 152Excellent | 97FPS min 85Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 61% | CPU 41% | GPU 26% |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050. There is 17% 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 Minecraft 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 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 191 | 239 | 277 |
| 1440p | 110 | 149 | 182 |
| 4K | 44 | 64 | 81 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 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 3050 has headroom to spare in Minecraft: 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 3050 Enough for Minecraft?
The RTX 3050 delivers 191 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Minecraft. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 110 FPS and at 4K 44 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably

RTX 3050 or RTX 2060 Laptop for Minecraft?
In Minecraft at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 191 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
