The Planet Crafter on GeForce RTX 3080 12GB
Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 12GB is well above The Planet Crafter's recommended spec. We estimate ~200 fps at 1080p high (range 160–240, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~140 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: ultra 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
