Can the NVIDIA RTX 2080 run The Outer Worlds 2? (2026)

✅ Yes

~65 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 2080 is a mainstream 1080p card with 8GB of VRAM, and The Outer Worlds 2 is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 65 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 65 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	65	65
1440p	39	61
4K	22	60

💡 The Outer Worlds 2: Unreal Engine 5 - upscaling is basically required at 1440p and up.

At 1080p expect around 65 FPS, at 1440p about 61 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. The Outer Worlds 2 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
