The GTX 1050 runs Planet Coaster at ~52 FPS on 1080P High settings — within the 30–60 FPS playable range but below the 60 FPS smooth-play threshold. Switching from High to Medium settings typically recovers approximately 9 FPS on this GPU tier. Warning: Planet Coaster 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.
