Don't Starve Together benchmark on RTX 4080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Don't Starve Together FPS with a RTX 4080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 117FPS min 77Good | 101FPS min 73Good | 70FPS min 61Good |
| High | 152FPS min 101Excellent | 131FPS min 94Excellent | 91FPS min 79Good |
| Medium | 199FPS min 132Excellent | 171FPS min 123Excellent | 119FPS min 104Good |
| Low | 257FPS min 170Excellent | 221FPS min 159Excellent | 154FPS min 134Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 36% | CPU 26% | 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 4080. There is 13% 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 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 RTX 4080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 117 | 146 | 170 | 248 |
| 1440p | 101 | 136 | 167 | 231 |
| 4K | 70 | 102 | 130 | 173 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4080 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 4080 has headroom to spare in Don't Starve Together: 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 4080 Enough for Don't Starve Together?
The RTX 4080 delivers 117 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Don't Starve Together. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 101 FPS and at 4K 70 FPS at Ultra quality.
