Final Fantasy XIV benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Final Fantasy XIV FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 61FPS min 53Good | 39FPS min 34Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 79FPS min 69Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 103FPS min 90Good | 66FPS min 58Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 133FPS min 116Excellent | 86FPS min 76Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 38% | GPU 75% |
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 590. There is 20% 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 Final Fantasy XIV 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 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 61 | 76 | 88 |
| 1440p | 39 | 53 | 64 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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 590 and that processor are well matched in Final Fantasy XIV: 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 590 Enough for Final Fantasy XIV?
The RX 590 delivers 61 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Final Fantasy XIV. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 39 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
