Valheim on GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is well above Valheim's recommended spec. We estimate ~122 fps at 1080p high (range 98–147, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~85 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

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: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium 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 1080 Ti back.
- Processor needed for ~122 fps: Core i5-9400F 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 122.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: 11 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
