Path of Exile 2 benchmark on RX 6500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Path of Exile 2 FPS with a RX 6500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |

| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 49% | GPU 71% | GPU 91% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Path of Exile 2, it is not worth it. 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 Path of Exile 2 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 | 32 | 40 | 46 |
| 1440p | 18 | 24 | 30 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 6500 XT is what caps the frame rate in Path of Exile 2. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 6500 XT Enough for Path of Exile 2?
The RX 6500 XT delivers 32 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Path of Exile 2. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 18 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.
