Can the NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) run Marathon? (2026)

✅ Yes

~90 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 16GB of VRAM, and Marathon is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 90 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 92 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	92	90
1440p	55	73
4K	31	62

💡 Marathon: Bungie extraction shooter - busy zones are partly CPU-bound; upscaling helps the GPU side.

At 1080p expect around 90 FPS, at 1440p about 73 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Marathon. Marathon doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
