Baldur's Gate 3 benchmark on GTX 1080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Baldur's Gate 3 FPS with a GTX 1080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 50FPS min 44Acceptable | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| High | 65FPS min 57Good | 49FPS min 43Acceptable | 23FPS min 20Poor |
| Medium | 85FPS min 74Good | 64FPS min 56Good | 30FPS min 27Acceptable |
| Low | 110FPS min 96Good | 83FPS min 73Good | 39FPS min 35Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 20% | GPU 40% | GPU 71% |
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 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1080. There is 14% 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 Baldur's Gate 3 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 1080 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 50 | 63 | 73 |
| 1440p | 38 | 51 | 63 |
| 4K | 18 | 26 | 33 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1080 is what caps the frame rate in Baldur's Gate 3. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1080 Enough for Baldur's Gate 3?
The GTX 1080 delivers 50 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Baldur's Gate 3. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 38 FPS and at 4K 18 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
