Wallpaper Engine benchmark on GTX 1050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Wallpaper Engine FPS with a GTX 1050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 67FPS min 54Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| High | 87FPS min 71Good | 53FPS min 47Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 114FPS min 93Good | 70FPS min 62Good | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Low | 148FPS min 120Excellent | 90FPS min 79Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 10% | GPU 34% | GPU 81% |
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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1050. 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.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Wallpaper Engine 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 GTX 1050 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 67 | 84 | 97 |
| 1440p | 41 | 55 | 68 |
| 4K | 12 | 17 | 22 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1050 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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 GTX 1050 has headroom to spare in Wallpaper Engine: 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 GTX 1050 Enough for Wallpaper Engine?
The GTX 1050 delivers 67 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Wallpaper Engine. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 41 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.
