7 Days to Die on GeForce RTX 3060 8GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3060 8GB is well above 7 Days to Die's recommended spec. We estimate ~132 fps at 1080p high (range 106–158, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~92 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |

| medium | 172 | 120 | 72 |
| high | 132 | 92 | 55 |
| ultra | 106 | 74 | 44 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings

- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 3060 8GB back.
- Processor needed for ~132 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 132.
Video memory
