Fortnite benchmark on RTX 3080 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Fortnite FPS with a RTX 3080 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 288FPS min 147Excellent | 240FPS min 131Excellent | 139FPS min 94Excellent |
| High | 374FPS min 191Excellent | 312FPS min 170Excellent | 181FPS min 123Excellent |
| Medium | 489FPS min 250Excellent | 408FPS min 222Excellent | 236FPS min 160Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 255Excellent | 500FPS min 273Excellent | 306FPS min 208Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 62% | CPU 56% | CPU 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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 12GB. There is 6% 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 Fortnite 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 | 288 | 360 | 418 |
| 1440p | 240 | 324 | 396 |
| 4K | 139 | 202 | 257 |
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 Fortnite: 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 12GB Enough for Fortnite?
The RTX 3080 12GB delivers 288 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Fortnite. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 240 FPS and at 4K 139 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
