Best Devil May Cry 5 settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Devil May Cry 5 runs at roughly 98 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 99FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Devil May Cry 5 is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs great at 1080p — about 98 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 98 FPS at 1080p and 79 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Devil May Cry 5 offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1080 isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
