Rocket League on GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Yes. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is well above Rocket League's recommended spec. We estimate ~94 fps at 1080p high (range 75–113, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~66 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 160 | 112 | 67 |
| medium | 122 | 85 | 51 |
| high | 94 | 66 | 39 |
| ultra | 75 | 53 | 32 |
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
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 980 Ti back.
- Processor needed for ~94 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 94.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 980 Ti: 6 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Rocket League; usually the cheapest.
