Dark Souls III benchmark on RX 6650M: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dark Souls III FPS with a RX 6650M and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 90FPS min 65Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| High | 117FPS min 85Good | 74FPS min 64Good | 31FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Medium | 153FPS min 111Excellent | 96FPS min 84Good | 40FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Low | 198FPS min 144Excellent | 125FPS min 109Excellent | 52FPS min 46Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 25% | balanced | GPU 62% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6650M. There is 19% 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 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 RX 6650M with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 90 | 113 | 131 |
| 1440p | 57 | 77 | 94 |
| 4K | 24 | 35 | 44 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6650M 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 6650M 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. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 6650M Enough for Dark Souls III?
The RX 6650M delivers 90 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dark Souls III. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 57 FPS and at 4K 24 FPS at Ultra quality.
