The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 16GB 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 74 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 75 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	75	74
1440p	45	69
4K	25	61

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

At 1080p expect around 74 FPS, at 1440p about 69 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for The Outer Worlds 2. The Outer Worlds 2 doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
