Life is Strange 2 benchmark on RTX 3080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Life is Strange 2 FPS with a RTX 3080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 289FPS min 149Excellent | 241FPS min 134Excellent | 137FPS min 95Excellent |
| High | 376FPS min 194Excellent | 313FPS min 174Excellent | 179FPS min 124Excellent |
| Medium | 491FPS min 253Excellent | 409FPS min 228Excellent | 233FPS min 161Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 258Excellent | 500FPS min 278Excellent | 302FPS min 208Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 61% | CPU 54% | CPU 31% |
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. There is 5% 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 3080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 289 | 361 | 419 |
| 1440p | 241 | 325 | 398 |
| 4K | 137 | 199 | 253 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 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 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.
Is the RTX 3080 Enough for Life is Strange 2?
The RTX 3080 delivers 289 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Life is Strange 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 241 FPS and at 4K 137 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
