Counter-Strike 2 on GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU is well above Counter-Strike 2's recommended spec. We estimate 300+ fps at 1080p high (range 279–300+, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~279 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 1 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 300+ | 300+ | 284 |
| medium | 300+ | 300+ | 217 |
| high | 300+ | 279 | 167 |
| ultra | 300+ | 223 | 134 |
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: ultra 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 Laptop GPU back.
- Processor needed for 300+ fps: Ryzen 5 9600 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU: 16 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+15 GB headroom)
