Hollow Knight: Silksong benchmark on RTX 4060: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Hollow Knight: Silksong FPS with a RTX 4060 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 393FPS min 185Excellent | 253FPS min 135Excellent | 88FPS min 69Good |
| High | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 329FPS min 176Excellent | 114FPS min 89Good |
| Medium | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 430FPS min 229Excellent | 149FPS min 117Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 500FPS min 267Excellent | 193FPS min 151Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 69% | CPU 58% | CPU 15% |
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 RTX 4060. There is 5% 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 4060 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 393 | 491 | 570 | 835 |
| 1440p | 253 | 342 | 417 | 581 |
| 4K | 88 | 128 | 163 | 218 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4060 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 RTX 4060 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.
Is the RTX 4060 Enough for Hollow Knight: Silksong?
The RTX 4060 delivers 393 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Hollow Knight: Silksong. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 253 FPS and at 4K 88 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
