League of Legends benchmark on RX 6500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
League of Legends FPS with a RX 6500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 144FPS min 83Excellent | 68FPS min 54Good | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| High | 187FPS min 107Excellent | 89FPS min 71Good | 31FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Medium | 245FPS min 141Excellent | 116FPS min 92Good | 40FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Low | 316FPS min 181Excellent | 150FPS min 119Excellent | 52FPS min 46Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 51% | CPU 13% | GPU 62% |
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 6500 XT. There is 21% 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 6500 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 144 | 180 | 209 |
| 1440p | 68 | 92 | 112 |
| 4K | 24 | 35 | 44 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6500 XT does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 6500 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 6500 XT Enough for League of Legends?
The RX 6500 XT delivers 144 FPS at 1080p Ultra in League of Legends. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 68 FPS and at 4K 24 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably

RX 6500 XT or RX 580 8GB for League of Legends?
In League of Legends at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 144 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
