Path of Exile benchmark on RTX 3050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Path of Exile FPS with a RTX 3050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 92FPS min 65Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| High | 119FPS min 84Good | 74FPS min 64Good | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Medium | 156FPS min 110Excellent | 97FPS min 84Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| Low | 201FPS min 142Excellent | 125FPS min 109Excellent | 55FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 28% | balanced | GPU 60% |
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 3050. There is 24% 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 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 | 92 | 115 | 133 |
| 1440p | 57 | 77 | 94 |
| 4K | 25 | 36 | 46 |
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 Path of Exile: 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 Path of Exile?
The RTX 3050 delivers 92 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Path of Exile. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 57 FPS and at 4K 25 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Path of Exile with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RTX 3050 or RTX 2060 Laptop for Path of Exile?
In Path of Exile at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 92 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
