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 RX 5700. There is 19% 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 Horizon Zero Dawn 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 5700 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	67	84	97
1440p	51	69	84
4K	23	33	43

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 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 5700 has headroom to spare in Horizon Zero Dawn: 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.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX 5700 Enough for Horizon Zero Dawn?

The RX 5700 delivers 67 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Horizon Zero Dawn. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.

At 1440p it gets 51 FPS and at 4K 23 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Horizon Zero Dawn on the RX 5700

How many FPS does the RX 5700 get in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p?

The RX 5700 averages 67 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 87 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 148 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 5700 manages around 51 FPS at 1440p and around 23 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 5700 run Horizon Zero Dawn at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX 5700 averages above 60 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Horizon Zero Dawn figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Horizon Zero Dawn?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 5700 from around 23 native FPS to an estimated 33 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 5700?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX 5700 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
