GTX 1050 runs Nuclear War Simulator at approximately ~6 FPS at 1080p High settings — verdict: CANT_RUN. At 1440p: ~26 FPS (STRUGGLE). At 4K: ~6 FPS (CANT_RUN).
The GTX 1050 cannot sustain playable frame rates in Nuclear War Simulator at 4K High settings (~6 FPS estimated). A minimum GPU tier of 5 or higher is required to run this title. Purchasing before upgrading is not recommended. Warning: Nuclear War Simulator recommends at least 4 GB VRAM. The GTX 1050 has only 2 GB — expect texture pop-in, longer load times, or crashes in high-quality or large-area scenes. Note: Performance in large-scale or late-game scenarios depends heavily on your processor's single-thread clock speed, not just GPU power — a fast CPU matters as much as your GPU here.
