Life is Strange 2 benchmark on RTX 2060 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Life is Strange 2 FPS with a RTX 2060 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 103FPS min 71Good | 69FPS min 60Good | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 134FPS min 92Excellent | 90FPS min 78Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Medium | 175FPS min 121Excellent | 117FPS min 102Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Low | 226FPS min 156Excellent | 152FPS min 132Excellent | 70FPS min 62Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 31% | balanced | GPU 49% |
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 2060 12GB. There is 16% 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 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 RTX 2060 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 103 | 129 | 149 |
| 1440p | 69 | 93 | 114 |
| 4K | 32 | 46 | 59 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2060 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 2060 12GB has headroom to spare in Life is Strange 2: 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 2060 12GB Enough for Life is Strange 2?
The RTX 2060 12GB delivers 103 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 69 FPS and at 4K 32 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Life is Strange 2 with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
