Ace Combat 8 PC Benchmarks Test RTX 5090 at 4K
The published recommended specs top out at RTX 4080 for 4K, so the practical question for PC players is which preset and DLSS level to pick rather than whether the top card can hold 60fps.

A PC benchmark of Ace Combat 8, the 30th anniversary entry, tests graphics settings on an RTX 5090 ahead of release. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 with cloud rendering technology. Steam lists RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6800 with 32GB of memory as recommended for 1080p at 60fps on Medium settings; the official 4K/60fps table lists RTX 4080 or above.
Ace Combat 8 arrives on PC with Unreal Engine 5 and a proprietary cloud rendering technology behind its sky. The settings menu offers four presets, ULTRA, HIGH, MEDIUM and LOW, and the game defaults to TSR, the Unreal Engine upscaler, rather than DLSS. Switching to DLSS ties the upscaler quality to the preset: ULTRA uses Quality, HIGH and MEDIUM use Balanced, and LOW uses Performance. The game does not support frame generation at present, so frame rates were measured by DLSS setting and by preset separately.
