Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on GeForce RTX 4080
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4080 is well above Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's recommended spec. We estimate ~131 fps at 1080p high (range 105–157, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~91 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.

- 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 4080 back.
- Processor needed for ~131 fps: Core i7-14700K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-12700K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 131.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 4080: 16 GB
- Minimum spec: 6 GB (+10 GB headroom)
