Hollow Knight: Silksong benchmark on RX Vega 56: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Hollow Knight: Silksong FPS with a RX Vega 56 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 89FPS min 63Good | 55FPS min 48Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| High | 115FPS min 82Good | 71FPS min 62Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Medium | 150FPS min 107Excellent | 93FPS min 81Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| Low | 195FPS min 139Excellent | 120FPS min 105Excellent | 46FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 27% | GPU 13% | GPU 66% |
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 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX Vega 56. There is 25% 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 RX Vega 56 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 89 | 111 | 129 |
| 1440p | 55 | 74 | 91 |
| 4K | 21 | 30 | 39 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 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 Vega 56 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 RX Vega 56 Enough for Hollow Knight: Silksong?
The RX Vega 56 delivers 89 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 55 FPS and at 4K 21 FPS at Ultra quality.
