Dead by Daylight benchmark on RX 5500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dead by Daylight FPS with a RX 5500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 67FPS min 54Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 87FPS min 71Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 114FPS min 93Good | 74FPS min 65Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 148FPS min 120Excellent | 96FPS min 84Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 10% | GPU 30% | GPU 75% |
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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 5500 XT. There is 23% 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 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 RX 5500 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 67 | 84 | 97 |
| 1440p | 44 | 59 | 73 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
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.
With that CPU, the RX 5500 XT 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 RX 5500 XT Enough for Dead by Daylight?
The RX 5500 XT delivers 67 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dead by Daylight. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 44 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
