Yes. The GeForce RTX 3080 12GB meets Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~78 fps at 1080p high (range 63–94, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~55 fps on high). Its 12 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. 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: 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.
Processor needed for ~78 fps: Core i7-10700 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 5800X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~78 fps.
