League of Legends benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
League of Legends FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 188FPS min 99Excellent | 102FPS min 67Good | 40FPS min 35Acceptable |
| High | 245FPS min 129Excellent | 132FPS min 87Excellent | 51FPS min 45Acceptable |
| Medium | 320FPS min 169Excellent | 173FPS min 114Excellent | 67FPS min 59Good |
| Low | 414FPS min 219Excellent | 224FPS min 148Excellent | 87FPS min 77Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 59% | CPU 36% | GPU 37% |
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 590. There is 16% 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 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 188 | 235 | 273 |
| 1440p | 102 | 138 | 168 |
| 4K | 40 | 58 | 74 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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 590 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 590 Enough for League of Legends?
The RX 590 delivers 188 FPS at 1080p Ultra in League of Legends. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 102 FPS and at 4K 40 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
