Baldur's Gate 3 benchmark on RTX 3080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Baldur's Gate 3 FPS with a RTX 3080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 119FPS min 77Good | 100FPS min 71Good | 62FPS min 54Good |
| High | 155FPS min 101Excellent | 130FPS min 92Excellent | 81FPS min 70Good |
| Medium | 203FPS min 132Excellent | 171FPS min 121Excellent | 106FPS min 92Good |
| Low | 263FPS min 171Excellent | 221FPS min 156Excellent | 137FPS min 119Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 38% | CPU 28% | balanced |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 Ti. There is 16% 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 3080 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 119 | 149 | 173 |
| 1440p | 100 | 135 | 165 |
| 4K | 62 | 90 | 115 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 Ti does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 RTX 3080 Ti has headroom to spare in Baldur's Gate 3: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 3080 Ti Enough for Baldur's Gate 3?
The RTX 3080 Ti delivers 119 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Baldur's Gate 3. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 100 FPS and at 4K 62 FPS at Ultra quality.
