Can the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super run South of Midnight? (2026)

✅ Yes

~85 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and South of Midnight is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 85 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 86 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	86	85
1440p	52	70
4K	29	60

💡 South of Midnight: The stop-motion look is an art style, not a frame-rate problem - it runs smoothly.

At 1080p expect around 85 FPS, at 1440p about 70 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. South of Midnight doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
