NBA 2K27 on GeForce RTX 4080
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4080 is well above NBA 2K27's recommended spec. We estimate ~169 fps at 1080p high (range 135–203, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~118 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.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 287 | 201 | 120 |
| medium | 219 | 154 | 92 |
| high | 169 | 118 | 71 |
| ultra | 135 | 95 | 57 |
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 4080 back.
- Processor needed for ~169 fps: Core Ultra 7 270K Plus or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 169.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 4080: 16 GB
- Minimum spec: 5 GB (+11 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+8 GB headroom)
