Age of Empires IV benchmark on RX 6950 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Age of Empires IV FPS with a RX 6950 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 328FPS min 156Excellent | 268FPS min 135Excellent | 149FPS min 93Excellent |
| High | 426FPS min 203Excellent | 348FPS min 176Excellent | 194FPS min 122Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 238Excellent | 455FPS min 230Excellent | 254FPS min 159Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 238Excellent | 500FPS min 252Excellent | 329FPS min 206Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 68% | CPU 63% | CPU 42% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6950 XT. There is 8% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Age of Empires IV at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 6950 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 328 | 410 | 476 |
| 1440p | 268 | 362 | 442 |
| 4K | 149 | 216 | 276 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6950 XT does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 6950 XT has headroom to spare in Age of Empires IV: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RX 6950 XT Enough for Age of Empires IV?
The RX 6950 XT delivers 328 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Age of Empires IV. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 268 FPS and at 4K 149 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
