Factorio benchmark on R9 380: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Factorio FPS with a R9 380 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 83FPS min 56Good | 56FPS min 49Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| High | 108FPS min 73Good | 73FPS min 64Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| Medium | 141FPS min 95Excellent | 95FPS min 83Good | 34FPS min 30Acceptable |
| Low | 183FPS min 123Excellent | 123FPS min 107Excellent | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 34% | balanced | GPU 68% |
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 R9 380. There is 55% 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 Factorio 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 R9 380 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 83 | 104 | 120 |
| 1440p | 56 | 76 | 92 |
| 4K | 20 | 29 | 37 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 380 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.
With that CPU, the R9 380 has headroom to spare in Factorio: 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 R9 380 Enough for Factorio?
The R9 380 delivers 83 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Factorio. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 56 FPS and at 4K 20 FPS at Ultra quality.
