Can a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 run RaceRoom Racing Experience?

Yes — with compromises

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 clears the minimum bar for RaceRoom Racing Experience but sits under the recommended spec. It is playable at around 1175 FPS at 1080p on high, and you will get a smoother result on the ultra preset.

Recommended settings

For 60 FPS at 1080p

Use the ultra preset. You already clear 60 FPS on high, so this leaves headroom for dips in busy scenes.

At 1440p

Comfortable — around 729 FPS on high.

At 4K

Around 423 FPS on high — genuinely viable.

VRAM headroom

At 4GB you are under the 8GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.
