Elden Ring benchmark on RX 5500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Elden Ring FPS with a RX 5500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 35FPS min 31Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| High | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 28FPS min 25Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Medium | 59FPS min 52Acceptable | 37FPS min 33Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Low | 77FPS min 68Good | 48FPS min 43Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 44% | GPU 65% | GPU 87% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 3% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Elden Ring, it is not worth it. 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 Elden Ring 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 5500 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 35 | 44 | 51 |
| 1440p | 22 | 30 | 36 |
| 4K | 8 | 12 | 15 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 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 5500 XT is what caps the frame rate in Elden Ring. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 5500 XT Enough for Elden Ring?
The RX 5500 XT delivers 35 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Elden Ring. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 22 FPS and at 4K 8 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
