Slay the Spire 2 benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Slay the Spire 2 FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 110FPS min 71Good | 63FPS min 55Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| High | 143FPS min 93Excellent | 81FPS min 70Good | 34FPS min 30Acceptable |
| Medium | 187FPS min 121Excellent | 106FPS min 92Good | 45FPS min 40Acceptable |
| Low | 243FPS min 158Excellent | 138FPS min 120Excellent | 58FPS min 51Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 38% | balanced | GPU 58% |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 590. 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 Slay the Spire 2 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 | 110 | 138 | 160 |
| 1440p | 63 | 85 | 104 |
| 4K | 26 | 38 | 48 |
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.
With that CPU, the RX 590 has headroom to spare in Slay the Spire 2: 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 590 Enough for Slay the Spire 2?
The RX 590 delivers 110 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Slay the Spire 2. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 63 FPS and at 4K 26 FPS at Ultra quality.
