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 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1080. There is 8% 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 Don't Starve Together 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.

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 Don't Starve Together. A faster processor would hardly change the result.

Frequently asked questions about Don't Starve Together on the GTX 1080

How many FPS does the GTX 1080 get in Don't Starve Together at 1080p?
The GTX 1080 averages 42 FPS in Don't Starve Together at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 54 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 92 FPS.
What about 1440p and 4K?
On Ultra, the GTX 1080 manages around 32 FPS at 1440p and around 15 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.
Can the GTX 1080 run Don't Starve Together at 60 FPS?
Not on Ultra — it averages below 60 FPS at every resolution. Dropping to Low at 1080p gets the GTX 1080 to about 92 FPS in Don't Starve Together, and AI upscaling helps close the gap to 60.
Do these Don't Starve Together figures include upscaling or ray tracing?
No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.
How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Don't Starve Together?
At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the GTX 1080 from around 15 native FPS to an estimated 22 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.
What processor do I need to pair with the GTX 1080?
The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the GTX 1080 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
