Total War: PHARAOH benchmark on RTX 4080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Total War: PHARAOH FPS with a RTX 4080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 188FPS min 104Excellent | 162FPS min 95Excellent | 113FPS min 79Good |
| High | 244FPS min 134Excellent | 211FPS min 124Excellent | 146FPS min 102Excellent |
| Medium | 319FPS min 176Excellent | 275FPS min 161Excellent | 191FPS min 134Excellent |
| Low | 413FPS min 228Excellent | 356FPS min 209Excellent | 248FPS min 174Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 55% | CPU 49% | CPU 29% |
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 4080. 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 Total War: PHARAOH 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 4080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 188 | 235 | 273 | 400 |
| 1440p | 162 | 219 | 267 | 372 |
| 4K | 113 | 164 | 209 | 279 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4080 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 4080 has headroom to spare in Total War: PHARAOH: 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 4080 Enough for Total War: PHARAOH?
The RTX 4080 delivers 188 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Total War: PHARAOH. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 162 FPS and at 4K 113 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
