Black Desert on GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is well above Black Desert's recommended spec. We estimate ~106 fps at 1080p high (range 85–128, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~74 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 181 | 126 | 76 |
| medium | 138 | 97 | 58 |
| high | 106 | 74 | 45 |
| ultra | 85 | 60 | 36 |
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: low 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 Ti back.
- Processor needed for ~106 fps: Core i3-10100 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 106.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3060 Ti: 8 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Black Desert; usually the cheapest.
