Dune: Awakening benchmark on RTX 3080 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dune: Awakening FPS with a RTX 3080 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 74FPS min 58Good | 62FPS min 54Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| High | 96FPS min 75Good | 81FPS min 70Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Medium | 125FPS min 98Excellent | 105FPS min 91Good | 71FPS min 62Good |
| Low | 162FPS min 127Excellent | 136FPS min 118Excellent | 92FPS min 81Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 15% | balanced | GPU 33% |
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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 12GB. There is 20% 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 Dune: Awakening 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 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 74 | 93 | 107 |
| 1440p | 62 | 84 | 102 |
| 4K | 42 | 61 | 78 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 12GB 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 12GB has headroom to spare in Dune: Awakening: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RTX 3080 12GB Enough for Dune: Awakening?
The RTX 3080 12GB delivers 74 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dune: Awakening. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 62 FPS and at 4K 42 FPS at Ultra quality.
