Sniper Elite: Resistance on GeForce RTX 3080 12GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 12GB meets Sniper Elite: Resistance's recommended spec. We estimate ~68 fps at 1080p high (range 47–88, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~47 fps on high). Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

- 60 fps at 1440p: medium preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
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 12GB back.
