Fallout 4 benchmark on RX 5500 XT 4GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Fallout 4 FPS with a RX 5500 XT 4GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 61FPS min 53Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| High | 79FPS min 69Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 104FPS min 90Good | 61FPS min 54Good | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Low | 134FPS min 117Excellent | 79FPS min 70Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 43% | GPU 81% |
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 5 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 5500 XT 4GB. There is 15% 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 Fallout 4 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 4GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 61 | 76 | 88 |
| 1440p | 36 | 49 | 59 |
| 4K | 12 | 17 | 22 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 4GB 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.
The RX 5500 XT 4GB and that processor are well matched in Fallout 4: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 5500 XT 4GB Enough for Fallout 4?
The RX 5500 XT 4GB delivers 61 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Fallout 4. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 36 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.
