Destiny 2 on GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
Yes. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is well above Destiny 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~178 fps at 1080p high (range 142–213, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~124 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 11 GB of video memory covers the 4 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 300+ | 211 | 127 |
| medium | 231 | 162 | 97 |
| high | 178 | 124 | 75 |
| ultra | 142 | 99 | 60 |
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: high 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 2080 Ti back.
- Processor needed for ~178 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 178.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 2080 Ti: 11 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+9 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 4 GB (+7 GB headroom)
