Estimated average fps by resolution and preset.
Our estimate puts the GeForce RTX 3050 at about 221 fps on High at 1080p in How to Fish, which means it runs comfortably. On Low the same card manages about 300+ fps, and on Ultra about 159.
The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.
For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: Ultra (about 159 fps); 1440p: Ultra (about 114 fps); 4K: Ultra (about 64 fps).
How to Fish lists 8 GB of RAM and a processor of the Intel Core i5-5257U class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce RTX 3050, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.
For reference, the next card up in our list, the GeForce RTX 2060, is estimated at 232 fps on High at 1080p, so you have room to raise settings or resolution on the GeForce RTX 3050.
Our estimate is about 221 fps on High at 1080p, and about 300+ fps on Low. Verdict: Yes, runs great.
At 1080p, Ultra holds about 159 fps. At 1440p, Ultra holds 60 fps. Even 4K is possible on Ultra.
How to Fish lists 8 GB as its minimum. The graphics card does not change that: with less memory than the minimum the game can stutter or fail to start whatever card you have.
