Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord benchmark on GTX 980 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord FPS with a GTX 980 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 50FPS min 44Acceptable | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 66FPS min 58Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 86FPS min 75Good | 61FPS min 54Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Low | 111FPS min 97Good | 79FPS min 70Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 19% | GPU 43% | 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 3600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 980 Ti. There is 11% 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 Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord 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 GTX 980 Ti with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 50 | 63 | 73 |
| 1440p | 36 | 49 | 59 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 980 Ti 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 980 Ti is what caps the frame rate in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
