WARDOGS on GeForce RTX 5080
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5080 is well above WARDOGS's recommended spec. We estimate ~133 fps at 1080p high (range 106–159, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~93 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 225 | 158 | 95 |
| medium | 172 | 121 | 72 |
| high | 133 | 93 | 56 |
| ultra | 106 | 74 | 45 |
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
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 5080 back.
- Processor needed for ~133 fps: Core i7-14700K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-12700K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 133.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 5080: 16 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in WARDOGS; usually the cheapest.
