Baldur's Gate 3 benchmark on RX 5500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Baldur's Gate 3 FPS with a RX 5500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 33FPS min 29Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| High | 43FPS min 38Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Medium | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Low | 73FPS min 65Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 47% | GPU 67% | GPU 88% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Baldur's Gate 3, it is not worth it. 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 Baldur's Gate 3 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 5500 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 33 | 41 | 48 |
| 1440p | 21 | 28 | 35 |
| 4K | 8 | 12 | 15 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 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 RX 5500 XT is what caps the frame rate in Baldur's Gate 3. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 5500 XT Enough for Baldur's Gate 3?
The RX 5500 XT delivers 33 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Baldur's Gate 3. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 21 FPS and at 4K 8 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
