Rocket League benchmark on RX 480 8GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Rocket League FPS with a RX 480 8GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 84FPS min 62Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| High | 110FPS min 81Good | 67FPS min 59Good | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| Medium | 143FPS min 105Excellent | 87FPS min 76Good | 31FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Low | 186FPS min 137Excellent | 113FPS min 99Good | 41FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 23% | GPU 18% | GPU 70% |
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 7 7800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 480 8GB. There is 23% 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 Rocket League 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 480 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 84 | 105 | 122 |
| 1440p | 51 | 69 | 84 |
| 4K | 18 | 26 | 33 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 480 8GB 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.
With that CPU, the RX 480 8GB has headroom to spare in Rocket League: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 480 8GB Enough for Rocket League?
The RX 480 8GB delivers 84 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Rocket League. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 51 FPS and at 4K 18 FPS at Ultra quality.
