DayZ benchmark on RTX 3080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
DayZ FPS with a RTX 3080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 209FPS min 114Excellent | 174FPS min 102Excellent | 102FPS min 76Good |
| High | 272FPS min 148Excellent | 227FPS min 133Excellent | 132FPS min 98Excellent |
| Medium | 355FPS min 194Excellent | 297FPS min 174Excellent | 173FPS min 128Excellent |
| Low | 460FPS min 251Excellent | 384FPS min 225Excellent | 224FPS min 166Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 56% | CPU 49% | CPU 22% |
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. There is 10% 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 DayZ 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 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 209 | 261 | 303 |
| 1440p | 174 | 235 | 287 |
| 4K | 102 | 148 | 189 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 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 has headroom to spare in DayZ: 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 Enough for DayZ?
The RTX 3080 delivers 209 FPS at 1080p Ultra in DayZ. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 174 FPS and at 4K 102 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
