Dune: Awakening benchmark on RX 6950 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Dune: Awakening FPS with a RX 6950 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 80FPS min 60Good | 66FPS min 57Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| High | 104FPS min 78Good | 86FPS min 75Good | 55FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Medium | 136FPS min 103Excellent | 112FPS min 97Good | 72FPS min 63Good |
| Low | 176FPS min 133Excellent | 146FPS min 127Excellent | 93FPS min 82Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 20% | balanced | GPU 32% |
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 7 7800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6950 XT. 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 Dune: Awakening 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 6950 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 80 | 100 | 116 |
| 1440p | 66 | 89 | 109 |
| 4K | 42 | 61 | 78 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6950 XT 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 6950 XT has headroom to spare in Dune: Awakening: 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 6950 XT Enough for Dune: Awakening?
The RX 6950 XT delivers 80 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Dune: Awakening. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 66 FPS and at 4K 42 FPS at Ultra quality.
