BeamNG.drive on GeForce RTX 3080 10GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 10GB is well above BeamNG.drive's recommended spec. We estimate ~117 fps at 1080p high (range 94–141, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~82 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 10 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 | 199 | 140 | 84 |
| medium | 152 | 107 | 64 |
| high | 117 | 82 | 49 |
| ultra | 94 | 66 | 39 |
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 10GB back.
- Processor needed for ~117 fps: Ryzen 9 5950X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 117.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3080 10GB: 10 GB
- Minimum spec: 6 GB (+4 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+2 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in BeamNG.drive; usually the cheapest.
