ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE on GeForce RTX 5080
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5080 is well above ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE's recommended spec. We estimate ~129 fps at 1080p high (range 103–154, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~90 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
