Return to campus on GeForce RTX 3070

Well above recommendedEstimate · low confidence, ±30%

Yes. The GeForce RTX 3070 is well above Return to campus's recommended spec. We estimate ~99 fps at 1080p high (range 69–128, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~69 fps on high). Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
