Can the NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti run Counter-Strike 2? (2026)

✅ Yes — easily

~204 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti is a mainstream 1080p card with 11GB of VRAM, and Counter-Strike 2 is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 204 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 204 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	204	204
1440p	136	136
4K	77	77

CPU-bound: in Counter-Strike 2, a Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU caps you near 204 FPS regardless of graphics settings.

At 1080p expect around 204 FPS, at 1440p about 136 FPS, and at 4K roughly 77 FPS with optimized settings. Counter-Strike 2 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
