Dear Diary on GeForce RTX 4080
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4080 is well above Dear Diary's recommended spec. We estimate ~289 fps at 1080p high (range 231–300+, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~202 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.
