Best Rocket League settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1080 (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1080 (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Rocket League runs at roughly 156 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 156FPS 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 Rocket League is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it flies at 1080p — about 156 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 156 FPS at 1080p and 94 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Rocket League doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.
