Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice benchmark on RTX 3080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice FPS with a RTX 3080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 273FPS min 141Excellent | 227FPS min 126Excellent | 131FPS min 90Excellent |
| High | 355FPS min 183Excellent | 296FPS min 165Excellent | 170FPS min 117Excellent |
| Medium | 464FPS min 240Excellent | 386FPS min 215Excellent | 222FPS min 153Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 258Excellent | 500FPS min 278Excellent | 287FPS min 198Excellent |
| 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 7% 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 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 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 | 273 | 341 | 396 |
| 1440p | 227 | 306 | 375 |
| 4K | 131 | 190 | 242 |
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 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: 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 Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice?
The RTX 3080 delivers 273 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 227 FPS and at 4K 131 FPS at Ultra quality.
