This GeForce GTX 780 Inno3D iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition graphics card is considered budget with poor modern game performance when playing anything more demanding than indie game requirements.

Capable of running games with up to a DirectX 11 requirement.

Here is a performance review on how capable the GeForce GTX 780 Inno3D iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition is at running the more popular games of 2022. Specifically looking at this PC hardware’s ability to get suitable frames per second to play on Ultra game settings and what FPS it might get on 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen res. This graphics hardware can run 368 of the 1000 most demanding PC games played today.

Looking at some of the modern popular games people are playing today the GeForce GTX 780 Inno3D iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition is running Days Gone and delivering playable performances on 1080p Ultra, getting 43 frames per second. Comparing this to Forza Horizon 5 which is getting playable results, where it averages 25 FPS. Another popular game we looked at is Grand Theft Auto VI, which is predicted to run at 19 frames per second.

Moving screen sizes up to 1440p we ran Days Gone on the GeForce GTX 780 Inno3D iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition to see that it got a playable set of frame rates. Here are the low to ultra results at 1440p - L: 86FPS, M: 67FPS, H: 45FPS, U: 32FPS. Another popular game to test at 1440p with this card was Forza Horizon 5 which seemed weak in performance netting an Ultra FPS of 19 FPS. Finally we then took a look at Grand Theft Auto VI where its predicted Ultra 1440p Frame rates were weak at 14 FPS. 1440p gaming on the GeForce GTX 780 Inno3D iChill HerculeZ X3 Ultra DHS Edition is going to struggle to keep a solid FPS, but a modern game could have a few options tweaked to get it playable at this res but on low graphics settings.
