Subnautica 2 benchmark on RTX 3080 Ti Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Subnautica 2 FPS with a RTX 3080 Ti Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 71FPS min 56Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| High | 93FPS min 73Good | 75FPS min 65Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| Medium | 121FPS min 95Excellent | 98FPS min 85Good | 56FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Low | 157FPS min 124Excellent | 126FPS min 110Excellent | 73FPS min 65Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 14% | balanced | GPU 47% |
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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 Ti Laptop. There is 25% 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 3080 Ti Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 71 | 89 | 103 |
| 1440p | 57 | 77 | 94 |
| 4K | 33 | 48 | 61 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 Ti Laptop 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 Ti Laptop has headroom to spare in Subnautica 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 RTX 3080 Ti Laptop Enough for Subnautica 2?
The RTX 3080 Ti Laptop delivers 71 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Subnautica 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 57 FPS and at 4K 33 FPS at Ultra quality.
