Path of Exile 2 benchmark on RX Vega 56: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Path of Exile 2 FPS with a RX Vega 56 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| High | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |

| Low | 70FPS min 62Good | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 49% | GPU 67% | GPU 87% |
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 Vega 56 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 32 | 40 | 46 |
| 1440p | 20 | 27 | 33 |
| 4K | 8 | 12 | 15 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 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 RX Vega 56 is what caps the frame rate in Path of Exile 2. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX Vega 56 Enough for Path of Exile 2?
The RX Vega 56 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 20 FPS and at 4K 8 FPS at Ultra quality.
