Return to campus on GeForce RTX 3080 10GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 10GB is well above Return to campus's recommended spec. We estimate ~123 fps at 1080p high (range 86–160, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~86 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 10 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
