FAQ

FAQ: Subnautica 2 x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

What is the optimal setting for playing Subnautica 2 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

A setting of "1080p / low Quality / FG: N/A" is the most practical choice. Since Ultra settings fall below 60FPS, lowering settings ensures a stable frame rate.

Can NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti run Subnautica 2 on Ultra settings?

Ultra settings average 25 FPS. We recommend low settings to achieve 60FPS (61 FPS).

Can I play Subnautica 2 at 4K resolution with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

4K is not recommended for this setup. The game averages only 13 FPS at 4K even on Standard settings. We suggest playing at 1440p or 1080p for a better experience.

Can I use Frame Generation (DLSS 3 / FSR 3) in Subnautica 2 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

No. Although Subnautica 2 supports Frame Generation, your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti lacks the necessary hardware features to enable it.
