Path of Exile benchmark on GTX 1060 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Path of Exile FPS with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 61FPS min 53Good | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 16FPS min 14Poor |
| High | 79FPS min 69Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| Medium | 103FPS min 90Good | 67FPS min 59Good | 28FPS min 25Poor |
| Low | 134FPS min 117Excellent | 87FPS min 77Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 37% | GPU 74% |
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 GTX 1060 6GB. There is 22% 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 Path of Exile 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 1060 6GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 61 | 76 | 88 |
| 1440p | 40 | 54 | 66 |
| 4K | 16 | 23 | 30 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1060 6GB 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 GTX 1060 6GB and that processor are well matched in Path of Exile: 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 GTX 1060 6GB Enough for Path of Exile?
The GTX 1060 6GB delivers 61 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Path of Exile. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 40 FPS and at 4K 16 FPS at Ultra quality.
