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 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX Vega 56. There is 21% 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 Vega 56 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	63	79	91
1440p	41	55	68
4K	16	23	30

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 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.

The RX Vega 56 and that processor are well matched in Dead by Daylight: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX Vega 56 Enough for Dead by Daylight?

The RX Vega 56 delivers 63 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 41 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Dead by Daylight on the RX Vega 56

How many FPS does the RX Vega 56 get in Dead by Daylight at 1080p?

The RX Vega 56 averages 63 FPS in Dead by Daylight at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 83 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 140 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX Vega 56 manages around 41 FPS at 1440p and around 16 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX Vega 56 run Dead by Daylight at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX Vega 56 averages above 60 FPS in Dead by Daylight at 1080p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Dead by Daylight figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Dead by Daylight?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX Vega 56 from around 16 native FPS to an estimated 23 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX Vega 56?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX Vega 56 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
