League of Legends benchmark on RX 5500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
League of Legends FPS with a RX 5500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 165FPS min 91Excellent | 87FPS min 62Good | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 215FPS min 118Excellent | 113FPS min 80Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Medium | 281FPS min 155Excellent | 148FPS min 105Excellent | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Low | 363FPS min 200Excellent | 192FPS min 136Excellent | 70FPS min 62Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 55% | CPU 28% | GPU 49% |
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 RX 5500 XT. There is 18% 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 RX 5500 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 165 | 206 | 239 |
| 1440p | 87 | 117 | 144 |
| 4K | 32 | 46 | 59 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 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 5500 XT 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 RX 5500 XT Enough for League of Legends?
The RX 5500 XT delivers 165 FPS at 1080p Ultra in League of Legends. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 87 FPS and at 4K 32 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
