Can the NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti run Squad? (2026)

✅ Yes

~73 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA GTX 980 Ti is a mainstream 1080p card with 6GB of VRAM, and Squad is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 73 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 74 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	74	73
1440p	44	68
4K	25	60

💡 Squad: 100-player Unreal Engine 5 mil-sim - heavily CPU-bound in big battles; upscaling helps the GPU side but won't fix a CPU limit.

At 1080p expect around 73 FPS, at 1440p about 68 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. Squad doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
