GeForce RTX 3080

The slowest CPU that will not hold it back

Resolution	Minimum processor	Estimated FPS
1080p	Core i3-14100T	126
1440p	Core i3-10320	97
4K	Core i7-2600	62

Notice how the requirement drops as resolution rises. At 4K this card is working so much harder per frame that a far slower processor keeps up without trouble. The search starts at four cores and eight threads: below that a game stutters whatever the average frame rate says.

The processors it lands closest to

The 24 processors whose frame rate limit sits nearest this card's, fastest first. The tag after each number says which part hits its limit first. For any other combination, use the calculator.
