Need for Speed Unbound has arrived with several enhancements and improvements over its prequels. The latest NFS game comes with a unique graffiti-like art style and numerous graphical upgrades. Apart from the brilliantly designed car models and environment, the title has also received significant upgrades in audio quality.

With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, the card can load up all the textures and let players enjoy most new triple-A titles at maximum graphical fidelity. Based on the Ampere architecture, it allows for superior ray tracing and rasterization performance compared to the previous-gen cards.
This guide suggests the best possible settings to use in Need for Speed Unbound with the RTX 3080 Ti.
