Subnautica 2 benchmark on RTX 2060 12GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Subnautica 2 FPS with a RTX 2060 12GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 61FPS min 54Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 80FPS min 70Good | 60FPS min 53Good | 28FPS min 25Poor |
| Low | 104FPS min 91Good | 77FPS min 68Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 24% | GPU 44% | GPU 74% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 2060 12GB. 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.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Subnautica 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 RTX 2060 12GB with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 47 | 59 | 68 |
| 1440p | 35 | 47 | 58 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2060 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RTX 2060 12GB is what caps the frame rate in Subnautica 2. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RTX 2060 12GB Enough for Subnautica 2?
The RTX 2060 12GB delivers 47 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Subnautica 2. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 35 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
