Hollow Knight: Silksong benchmark on R9 390X: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Hollow Knight: Silksong FPS with a R9 390X and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 72FPS min 56Good | 48FPS min 42Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| High | 93FPS min 73Good | 62FPS min 54Good | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| Medium | 122FPS min 96Excellent | 81FPS min 71Good | 31FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Low | 158FPS min 124Excellent | 105FPS min 92Good | 41FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 15% | GPU 24% | GPU 70% |
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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the R9 390X. There is 30% 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 Hollow Knight: Silksong 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 390X with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 72 | 90 | 104 |
| 1440p | 48 | 65 | 79 |
| 4K | 18 | 26 | 33 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 390X 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 390X has headroom to spare in Hollow Knight: Silksong: 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 390X Enough for Hollow Knight: Silksong?
The R9 390X delivers 72 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Hollow Knight: Silksong. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 48 FPS and at 4K 18 FPS at Ultra quality.
