The Last of Us Part I benchmark on RTX 3090 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The Last of Us Part I FPS with a RTX 3090 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 126FPS min 81Excellent | 106FPS min 74Good | 68FPS min 59Good |
| High | 164FPS min 106Excellent | 138FPS min 97Excellent | 88FPS min 77Good |
| Medium | 214FPS min 138Excellent | 180FPS min 126Excellent | 116FPS min 101Good |
| Low | 277FPS min 178Excellent | 233FPS min 164Excellent | 150FPS min 131Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 39% | CPU 29% | balanced |
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 3090 Ti. There is 13% 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 Last of Us Part I 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 3090 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 126 | 158 | 183 |
| 1440p | 106 | 143 | 175 |
| 4K | 68 | 99 | 126 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3090 Ti 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 3090 Ti has headroom to spare in The Last of Us Part I: 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 3090 Ti Enough for The Last of Us Part I?
The RTX 3090 Ti delivers 126 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The Last of Us Part I. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
