Path of Exile benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Path of Exile FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 66FPS min 57Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| High | 86FPS min 75Good | 58FPS min 51Acceptable | 23FPS min 20Poor |
| Medium | 113FPS min 98Good | 75FPS min 66Good | 31FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Low | 146FPS min 127Excellent | 97FPS min 85Good | 40FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 29% | GPU 71% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 590. There is 28% 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 RX 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 66 | 83 | 96 |
| 1440p | 44 | 59 | 73 |
| 4K | 18 | 26 | 33 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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 RX 590 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 RX 590 Enough for Path of Exile?
The RX 590 delivers 66 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 44 FPS and at 4K 18 FPS at Ultra quality.
