Where Winds Meet on GeForce RTX 5080

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The GeForce RTX 5080 is well above Where Winds Meet's recommended spec. We estimate ~171 fps at 1080p high (range 137–205, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~120 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 16 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. 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: high 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 ~171 fps: Core i9-13900K or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
  • With the recommended CPU (Core i7-10700): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 171.

Video memory

  • GeForce RTX 5080: 16 GB
  • Minimum spec: 6 GB (+10 GB headroom)
