iRacing Studios NASCAR 26 on GeForce RTX 3080 10GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 10GB is well above iRacing Studios NASCAR 26's recommended spec. We estimate ~103 fps at 1080p high (range 83–124, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~72 fps on high). Its 10 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset

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: high 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 3080 10GB back.
- Processor needed for ~103 fps: Core i3-12100 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 9 3900X): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 103.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 3080 10GB: 10 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (+6 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+2 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in iRacing Studios NASCAR 26; usually the cheapest.
