Factorio benchmark on RX 560: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Factorio FPS with a RX 560 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 72FPS min 53Good | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| High | 93FPS min 69Good | 58FPS min 51Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Medium | 122FPS min 91Excellent | 76FPS min 67Good | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Low | 157FPS min 117Excellent | 99FPS min 87Good | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 22% | GPU 28% | GPU 76% |
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 560. There is 67% 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 RX 560 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 72 | 90 | 104 |
| 1440p | 45 | 61 | 74 |
| 4K | 15 | 22 | 28 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 560 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 RX 560 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 RX 560 Enough for Factorio?
The RX 560 delivers 72 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Factorio. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 45 FPS and at 4K 15 FPS at Ultra quality.
