Slay the Spire 2 benchmark on GTX 1080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Slay the Spire 2 FPS with a GTX 1080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 188FPS min 104Excellent | 128FPS min 81Excellent | 48FPS min 42Acceptable |
| High | 244FPS min 134Excellent | 167FPS min 106Excellent | 63FPS min 55Good |
| Medium | 319FPS min 176Excellent | 218FPS min 138Excellent | 82FPS min 72Good |
| Low | 413FPS min 228Excellent | 282FPS min 178Excellent | 106FPS min 93Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 55% | CPU 41% | GPU 20% |
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 GTX 1080. There is 12% 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.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Slay the Spire 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 GTX 1080 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 188 | 235 | 273 |
| 1440p | 128 | 173 | 211 |
| 4K | 48 | 70 | 89 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1080 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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 GTX 1080 has headroom to spare in Slay the Spire 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 GTX 1080 Enough for Slay the Spire 2?
The GTX 1080 delivers 188 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Slay the Spire 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 128 FPS and at 4K 48 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
