Destiny 2 benchmark on RX 9070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Destiny 2 FPS with a RX 9070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 211FPS min 117Excellent | 166FPS min 101Excellent | 87FPS min 70Good |
| High | 274FPS min 153Excellent | 216FPS min 132Excellent | 113FPS min 91Good |
| Medium | 358FPS min 199Excellent | 283FPS min 172Excellent | 147FPS min 119Excellent |
| Low | 464FPS min 258Excellent | 366FPS min 223Excellent | 191FPS min 154Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 54% | CPU 45% | CPU 11% |
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 RX 9070. There is 7% 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 Destiny 2 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 9070 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 211 | 264 | 306 | 449 |
| 1440p | 166 | 224 | 274 | 381 |
| 4K | 87 | 126 | 161 | 214 |
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 RX 9070 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.
With that CPU, the RX 9070 has headroom to spare in Destiny 2: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RX 9070 Enough for Destiny 2?
The RX 9070 delivers 211 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Destiny 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 166 FPS and at 4K 87 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably

RX 9070 or RTX 5070 Ti Laptop for Destiny 2?
In Destiny 2 at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 211 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
