Marvel's Spider-Man 2: Best settings for RTX 3080

With the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC, non-console-users can finally play the beloved sequel to the first game. The game's system requirements are a bit forgiving compared to other titles released in the past few months. However, it is heavy on video memory, which can be problematic for those using the Nvidia RTX 3080 with only 10GB of VRAM.

Without the right settings, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 could hit the memory limitation on the RTX 3080 and run terribly. As such, we took it upon ourselves to prepare a list of the best settings to achieve a stable 60 FPS at 4K without degrading the visual fidelity too much.

In this article, we will look at all the best graphics settings to run Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on the Nvidia RTX 3080.

Note: This article is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinions. The settings provided below are based on the game's "High" specs and shouldn't be used for resolutions higher than 3840 x 2160.

This concludes the list of all the best graphics settings for running Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on an Nvidia RTX 3080. We have kept ray tracing completely off, as it increases memory usage, which is not ideal since the RTX 3080 only has 10GB. Nonetheless, the game still looks great, and you will get 60+ FPS at 4K easily as long as you apply the above settings correctly.
