A NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super paired with a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X lands around 53 fps in Helldivers 2 at 1440p with Ultra+ textures, Ultra shadows and DLSS Quality. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.

Your CPU is limiting FPS here
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is holding back your NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super at 1440p in Helldivers 2. A faster CPU could get you closer to ~64 fps at these settings.
Estimate only — based on a 20% uplift for a moderate CPU bottleneck, not a measured benchmark.

Helldivers 2 scales with chaos. A tutorial run tells you nothing; a level 8 bug breach with four players, orbital strikes and a hundred simultaneous enemies is the real workload, and it is dominated by particle effects rather than terrain or textures.
For that reason the effects and particle settings are the ones to cut first. Aiming feels dramatically better at a locked 90 FPS on medium settings than at a swinging 60–120 on high.
Covers live four-player missions on high difficulties, where particle and enemy counts are far above the tutorial.
