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 i5-10400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 590. 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 Death Stranding 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 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	54	68	78
1440p	35	47	58
4K	14	20	26

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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.

Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 590 is what caps the frame rate in Death Stranding. A faster processor would hardly change the result.

The CheckFPS verdict

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

Is the RX 590 Enough for Death Stranding?

The RX 590 delivers 54 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Death Stranding. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.

At 1440p it gets 35 FPS and at 4K 14 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Death Stranding on the RX 590

How many FPS does the RX 590 get in Death Stranding at 1080p?

The RX 590 averages 54 FPS in Death Stranding at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 70 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 119 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 590 manages around 35 FPS at 1440p and around 14 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 590 run Death Stranding at 60 FPS?

Not on Ultra — it averages below 60 FPS at every resolution. Dropping to Low at 1080p gets the RX 590 to about 119 FPS in Death Stranding, and AI upscaling helps close the gap to 60.

Do these Death Stranding 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 590 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 Death Stranding?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 590 from around 14 native FPS to an estimated 20 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 590?

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 590 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
