League of Legends benchmark on R9 380: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
League of Legends FPS with a R9 380 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 71FPS min 55Good | 46FPS min 40Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 93FPS min 72Good | 60FPS min 53Good | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 122FPS min 94Excellent | 78FPS min 68Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 157FPS min 121Excellent | 101FPS min 89Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 17% | GPU 26% | 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 7600X downwards the processor becomes the brake on the R9 380. There is 49% 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 League of Legends 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 380 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 71 | 89 | 103 |
| 1440p | 46 | 62 | 76 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 380 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 380 has headroom to spare in League of Legends: 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 380 Enough for League of Legends?
The R9 380 delivers 71 FPS at 1080p Ultra in League of Legends. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 46 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
