Dead by Daylight benchmark on RX 6500M: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dead by Daylight FPS with a RX 6500M and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 52FPS min 45Acceptable | 28FPS min 25Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| High | 68FPS min 59Good | 37FPS min 33Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Medium | 89FPS min 78Good | 48FPS min 43Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Low | 115FPS min 101Good | 62FPS min 55Good | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 16% | GPU 55% | GPU 84% |
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 5 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6500M. There is 13% 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 6500M with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 52 | 65 | 75 |
| 1440p | 28 | 38 | 46 |
| 4K | 10 | 15 | 19 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6500M 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 6500M is what caps the frame rate in Dead by Daylight. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 6500M Enough for Dead by Daylight?
The RX 6500M delivers 52 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dead by Daylight. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 28 FPS and at 4K 10 FPS at Ultra quality.
