Slay the Spire 2 benchmark on GTX 980 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Slay the Spire 2 FPS with a GTX 980 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 110FPS min 71Good | 71FPS min 56Good | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 143FPS min 93Excellent | 93FPS min 74Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Medium | 187FPS min 121Excellent | 121FPS min 96Excellent | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Low | 243FPS min 158Excellent | 157FPS min 125Excellent | 70FPS min 62Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 38% | CPU 13% | GPU 49% |
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 980 Ti. There is 23% 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 980 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 110 | 138 | 160 |
| 1440p | 71 | 96 | 117 |
| 4K | 32 | 46 | 59 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 980 Ti 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 980 Ti 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 980 Ti Enough for Slay the Spire 2?
The GTX 980 Ti delivers 110 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Slay the Spire 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 71 FPS and at 4K 32 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Slay the Spire 2 with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
