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 6GB. There is 23% 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 Stellaris 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	147	184	213
1440p	81	109	134
4K	33	48	61

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.

With that CPU, the RTX 3050 6GB has headroom to spare in Stellaris: 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.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Frequently asked questions about Stellaris on the RTX 3050 6GB

How many FPS does the RTX 3050 6GB get in Stellaris at 1080p?

The RTX 3050 6GB averages 147 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 191 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 324 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RTX 3050 6GB manages around 81 FPS at 1440p and around 33 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RTX 3050 6GB run Stellaris at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RTX 3050 6GB averages above 60 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p, 1440p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Stellaris figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no DLSS, FSR or XeSS, and with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 6GB can do both: upscaling pushes the frame rate up, ray tracing pulls it down.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on DLSS in Stellaris?

At 4K, DLSS on Quality mode takes the RTX 3050 6GB from around 33 native FPS to an estimated 48 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RTX 3050 6GB?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RTX 3050 6GB is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
