✅ Yes — easily

~105 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 16GB of VRAM, and DayZ is a moderately demanding game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 105 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 106 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	106	105
1440p	64	63
4K	36	60

💡 DayZ: Enfusion engine - heavily CPU-bound; View Distance is by far the biggest lever on full servers and in towns.

At 1080p expect around 105 FPS, at 1440p about 63 FPS, and at 4K roughly 60 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for DayZ. DayZ doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
