The Forest benchmark on RTX 3080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The Forest FPS with a RTX 3080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 347FPS min 169Excellent | 289FPS min 151Excellent | 165FPS min 106Excellent |
| High | 451FPS min 220Excellent | 376FPS min 196Excellent | 214FPS min 138Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 244Excellent | 491FPS min 256Excellent | 280FPS min 180Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 244Excellent | 500FPS min 261Excellent | 363FPS min 234Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 66% | CPU 60% | CPU 39% |
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 RTX 3080. There is 5% 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 The Forest 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 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 347 | 434 | 503 |
| 1440p | 289 | 390 | 477 |
| 4K | 165 | 239 | 305 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 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 has headroom to spare in The Forest: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 3080 Enough for The Forest?
The RTX 3080 delivers 347 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The Forest. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 289 FPS and at 4K 165 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
