Dark Souls III benchmark on RTX 5070 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dark Souls III FPS with a RTX 5070 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 236FPS min 127Excellent | 178FPS min 107Excellent | 79FPS min 69Good |
| High | 307FPS min 166Excellent | 231FPS min 139Excellent | 103FPS min 90Good |
| Medium | 402FPS min 217Excellent | 302FPS min 182Excellent | 135FPS min 117Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 270Excellent | 391FPS min 236Excellent | 175FPS min 152Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 57% | CPU 46% | balanced |
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 RTX 5070 Laptop. There is 7% 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.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Dark Souls III 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 RTX 5070 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 236 | 295 | 342 | 502 |
| 1440p | 178 | 240 | 294 | 408 |
| 4K | 79 | 115 | 146 | 196 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 5070 Laptop 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 DLSS 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 RTX 5070 Laptop has headroom to spare in Dark Souls III: 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 RTX 5070 Laptop Enough for Dark Souls III?
The RTX 5070 Laptop delivers 236 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dark Souls III. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 178 FPS and at 4K 79 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
