Dead by Daylight benchmark on RTX 5050: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dead by Daylight FPS with a RTX 5050 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 211FPS min 116Excellent | 122FPS min 81Excellent | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| High | 274FPS min 151Excellent | 159FPS min 105Excellent | 56FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Medium | 358FPS min 197Excellent | 208FPS min 138Excellent | 73FPS min 64Good |
| Low | 464FPS min 256Excellent | 269FPS min 178Excellent | 95FPS min 84Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 55% | CPU 36% | GPU 30% |
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 5050. There is 8% 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 Dead by Daylight 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 5050 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 211 | 264 | 306 | 449 |
| 1440p | 122 | 165 | 201 | 281 |
| 4K | 43 | 62 | 80 | 105 |
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 5050 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 5050 has headroom to spare in Dead by Daylight: 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 RTX 5050 Enough for Dead by Daylight?
The RTX 5050 delivers 211 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dead by Daylight. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 122 FPS and at 4K 43 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
