Raft benchmark on RX 6500 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Raft FPS with a RX 6500 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 64FPS min 56Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| High | 83FPS min 72Good | 47FPS min 41Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 108FPS min 94Good | 61FPS min 54Good | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Low | 140FPS min 122Excellent | 79FPS min 70Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 43% | GPU 81% |
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 RX 6500 XT. There is 16% 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 Raft 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 | 64 | 80 | 93 |
| 1440p | 36 | 49 | 59 |
| 4K | 12 | 17 | 22 |
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.
The RX 6500 XT and that processor are well matched in Raft: 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 6500 XT Enough for Raft?
The RX 6500 XT delivers 64 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Raft. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 36 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in Raft with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
RX 6500 XT or RX 580 8GB for Raft?
In Raft at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 64 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
