Life is Strange 2 benchmark on GTX 980 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Life is Strange 2 FPS with a GTX 980 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 61FPS min 53Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| High | 79FPS min 69Good | 56FPS min 49Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Medium | 103FPS min 90Good | 73FPS min 64Good | 32FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Low | 133FPS min 116Excellent | 95FPS min 84Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 31% | GPU 70% |
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 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 980 Ti. There is 17% 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 Life is Strange 2 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 980 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 61 | 76 | 88 |
| 1440p | 43 | 58 | 71 |
| 4K | 19 | 28 | 35 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 980 Ti 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.
The GTX 980 Ti and that processor are well matched in Life is Strange 2: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 980 Ti Enough for Life is Strange 2?
The GTX 980 Ti delivers 61 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Life is Strange 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 43 FPS and at 4K 19 FPS at Ultra quality.
