Path of Exile 2 benchmark on RTX 3050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Path of Exile 2 FPS with a RTX 3050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 48FPS min 42Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| High | 62FPS min 54Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| Medium | 82FPS min 72Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| Low | 106FPS min 93Good | 70FPS min 62Good | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 23% | GPU 49% | GPU 78% |
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 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050. There is 12% 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 Path of Exile 2 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 | 48 | 60 | 70 |
| 1440p | 32 | 43 | 53 |
| 4K | 14 | 20 | 26 |
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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 3050 is what caps the frame rate in Path of Exile 2. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 3050 Enough for Path of Exile 2?
The RTX 3050 delivers 48 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Path of Exile 2. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 32 FPS and at 4K 14 FPS at Ultra quality.
