The First Descendant benchmark on RTX 3050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The First Descendant FPS with a RTX 3050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 46FPS min 40Acceptable | 30FPS min 27Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| High | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Medium | 78FPS min 68Good | 52FPS min 46Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| Low | 101FPS min 89Good | 67FPS min 59Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 27% | GPU 51% | GPU 79% |
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 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3050. There is 10% 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 The First Descendant 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 | 46 | 58 | 67 |
| 1440p | 30 | 41 | 50 |
| 4K | 13 | 19 | 24 |
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 The First Descendant. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 3050 Enough for The First Descendant?
The RTX 3050 delivers 46 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The First Descendant. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 30 FPS and at 4K 13 FPS at Ultra quality.
