Baldur's Gate 3 on GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is well above Baldur's Gate 3's recommended spec. We estimate ~127 fps at 1080p high (range 101–152, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~89 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 215 | 151 | 90 |
| medium | 165 | 115 | 69 |
| high | 127 | 89 | 53 |
| ultra | 101 | 71 | 43 |
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 1080p: ultra preset
- 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 3080 Ti back.
- Processor needed for ~127 fps: Ryzen 5 5500X3D or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 127.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3080 Ti: 12 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (+8 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+4 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
