Elden Ring benchmark on RX 6500M: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Elden Ring FPS with a RX 6500M and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 26FPS min 23Poor | 14FPS min 13Unplayable | 5FPS min 4Unplayable |
| High | 34FPS min 30Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |
| Medium | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| Low | 58FPS min 51Acceptable | 31FPS min 28Acceptable | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 58% | GPU 77% | GPU 92% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
It makes no difference which processor you have: with the RX 6500M in Elden Ring the graphics card is always the brake. Swapping CPU would not gain you a single frame — put the money into the card.
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 6500M with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 26 | 33 | 38 |
| 1440p | 14 | 19 | 23 |
| 4K | 5 | 7 | 9 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6500M 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 6500M is what caps the frame rate in Elden Ring. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 6500M Enough for Elden Ring?
The RX 6500M delivers 26 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Elden Ring. This GPU is not enough for Elden Ring at this resolution. We recommend a more powerful GPU.
At 1440p it gets 14 FPS and at 4K 5 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
