Life is Strange 2 benchmark on RTX 2080 Super: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Life is Strange 2 FPS with a RTX 2080 Super and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 177FPS min 104Excellent | 130FPS min 86Excellent | 59FPS min 52Acceptable |
| High | 230FPS min 135Excellent | 169FPS min 112Excellent | 76FPS min 66Good |
| Medium | 300FPS min 176Excellent | 221FPS min 146Excellent | 99FPS min 86Good |
| Low | 389FPS min 228Excellent | 286FPS min 189Excellent | 129FPS min 113Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 49% | CPU 36% | GPU 11% |
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 2080 Super. There is 8% 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 2080 Super with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 177 | 221 | 257 |
| 1440p | 130 | 176 | 215 |
| 4K | 59 | 86 | 109 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2080 Super 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 2080 Super 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 2080 Super Enough for Life is Strange 2?
The RTX 2080 Super delivers 177 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Life is Strange 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 130 FPS and at 4K 59 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
