Minecraft benchmark on R9 380: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Minecraft FPS with a R9 380 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 63FPS min 55Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| High | 82FPS min 71Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Medium | 107FPS min 93Good | 65FPS min 57Good | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| Low | 138FPS min 120Excellent | 85FPS min 75Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 39% | GPU 79% |
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 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the R9 380. There is 40% 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 Minecraft 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 | 63 | 79 | 91 |
| 1440p | 38 | 51 | 63 |
| 4K | 13 | 19 | 24 |
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.
The R9 380 and that processor are well matched in Minecraft: neither clearly holds the other back, so the table figures are a fair reflection of the pair. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the R9 380 Enough for Minecraft?
The R9 380 delivers 63 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Minecraft. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 38 FPS and at 4K 13 FPS at Ultra quality.
