Sea of Thieves benchmark on RX 5700: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Sea of Thieves FPS with a RX 5700 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 82FPS min 61Good | 57FPS min 50Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| High | 106FPS min 79Good | 75FPS min 65Good | 35FPS min 31Acceptable |
| Medium | 139FPS min 104Excellent | 98FPS min 85Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Low | 180FPS min 135Excellent | 126FPS min 110Excellent | 59FPS min 52Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 21% | balanced | GPU 57% |
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 5700. There is 21% 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 Sea of Thieves 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 5700 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 82 | 103 | 119 |
| 1440p | 57 | 77 | 94 |
| 4K | 27 | 39 | 50 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 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 5700 has headroom to spare in Sea of Thieves: 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 5700 Enough for Sea of Thieves?
The RX 5700 delivers 82 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Sea of Thieves. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 57 FPS and at 4K 27 FPS at Ultra quality.
