Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark on RTX 3080 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider FPS with a RTX 3080 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 259FPS min 138Excellent | 216FPS min 125Excellent | 124FPS min 90Excellent |
| High | 337FPS min 180Excellent | 281FPS min 163Excellent | 162FPS min 117Excellent |
| Medium | 441FPS min 235Excellent | 367FPS min 213Excellent | 211FPS min 153Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 267Excellent | 475FPS min 276Excellent | 273FPS min 198Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 58% | CPU 50% | CPU 25% |
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 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 Shadow of the Tomb Raider 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 | 259 | 324 | 376 |
| 1440p | 216 | 292 | 356 |
| 4K | 124 | 180 | 229 |
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 Shadow of the Tomb Raider: 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 12GB Enough for Shadow of the Tomb Raider?
The RTX 3080 12GB delivers 259 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 216 FPS and at 4K 124 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
