Squad benchmark on RTX 2080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Squad FPS with a RTX 2080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 85FPS min 62Good | 65FPS min 57Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| High | 111FPS min 80Good | 84FPS min 73Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Medium | 145FPS min 105Excellent | 110FPS min 96Good | 62FPS min 55Good |
| Low | 187FPS min 136Excellent | 142FPS min 124Excellent | 80FPS min 71Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 25% | balanced | GPU 42% |
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 i7-13700K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 2080. There is 27% 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 Squad 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 2080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 85 | 106 | 123 |
| 1440p | 65 | 88 | 107 |
| 4K | 36 | 52 | 67 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2080 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 2080 has headroom to spare in Squad: 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 2080 Enough for Squad?
The RTX 2080 delivers 85 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Squad. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 65 FPS and at 4K 36 FPS at Ultra quality.
Want more FPS in Squad?
Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Squad with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RTX 2080 or Intel Arc B580 for Squad?
In Squad at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 85 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
