On a NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), A Plague Tale: Requiem runs at roughly 91 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 92FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, and A Plague Tale: Requiem is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs great at 1080p — about 91 FPSwith 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 91 FPS at 1080p and 73 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. A Plague Tale: Requiem supports ray tracing and the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) can technically run it, but it's the single most expensive option here — we keep it off to hit a smooth frame rate and suggest turning it on only if you have frames to spare. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for A Plague Tale: Requiem, so textures can stay maxed. The biggest free win is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 92 | 91 |
| 1440p | 55 | 73 |
| 4K | 31 | 62 |
