Subnautica benchmark on RTX 3050 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Subnautica FPS with a RTX 3050 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 65FPS min 57Good | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| High | 84FPS min 73Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Medium | 110FPS min 96Good | 67FPS min 59Good | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| Low | 143FPS min 124Excellent | 87FPS min 77Good | 32FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 37% | GPU 77% |
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 i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050 Laptop. There is 22% 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 Subnautica 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 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 65 | 81 | 94 |
| 1440p | 40 | 54 | 66 |
| 4K | 14 | 20 | 26 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3050 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.
The RTX 3050 Laptop and that processor are well matched in Subnautica: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3050 Laptop Enough for Subnautica?
The RTX 3050 Laptop delivers 65 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Subnautica. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 40 FPS and at 4K 14 FPS at Ultra quality.
