Pathologic 3 benchmark on RTX 3080 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Pathologic 3 FPS with a RTX 3080 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 114FPS min 75Good | 96FPS min 69Good | 58FPS min 51Acceptable |
| High | 148FPS min 98Excellent | 124FPS min 89Excellent | 75FPS min 65Good |
| Medium | 194FPS min 128Excellent | 163FPS min 117Excellent | 98FPS min 86Good |
| Low | 251FPS min 166Excellent | 211FPS min 152Excellent | 127FPS min 111Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 36% | CPU 26% | 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 3080 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 Pathologic 3 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 | 114 | 143 | 165 |
| 1440p | 96 | 130 | 158 |
| 4K | 58 | 84 | 107 |
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 Pathologic 3: 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 3080 12GB Enough for Pathologic 3?
The RTX 3080 12GB delivers 114 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Pathologic 3. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 96 FPS and at 4K 58 FPS at Ultra quality.
