✅ Yes — easily

~162 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 (laptop, 16GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 16GB of VRAM, and Valheim is a relatively light game to run. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 162 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 162 FPS with everything on High.

Resolution	All-High FPS	Optimized FPS
1080p	162	162
1440p	134	134
4K	76	76

CPU-bound: in Valheim, a Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU caps you near 162 FPS regardless of graphics settings.

💡 Valheim: Runs on modest hardware, but big built-up bases tax the CPU and point lights — lower those before world detail.

At 1080p expect around 162 FPS, at 1440p about 134 FPS, and at 4K roughly 76 FPS with optimized settings. Its 16GB of VRAM is plenty for Valheim. Valheim doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
