It makes no difference which processor you have: with the R9 390X in Alien: Isolation 2 the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Alien: Isolation 2 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 R9 390X with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 17 | 21 | 25 |
| 1440p | 11 | 15 | 18 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 | 9 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 390X has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the R9 390X is what caps the frame rate in Alien: Isolation 2. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
