DayZ benchmark on RX 6950 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
DayZ FPS with a RX 6950 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 243FPS min 127Excellent | 199FPS min 112Excellent | 111FPS min 80Good |
| High | 316FPS min 165Excellent | 258FPS min 145Excellent | 144FPS min 104Excellent |
| Medium | 413FPS min 216Excellent | 338FPS min 190Excellent | 189FPS min 136Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 261Excellent | 437FPS min 246Excellent | 244FPS min 175Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 60% | CPU 53% | CPU 26% |
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 9% 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 DayZ 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 | 243 | 304 | 352 |
| 1440p | 199 | 269 | 328 |
| 4K | 111 | 161 | 205 |
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 DayZ: 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 DayZ?
The RX 6950 XT delivers 243 FPS at 1080p Ultra in DayZ. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 199 FPS and at 4K 111 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
