South of Midnight benchmark on RX 9070 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
South of Midnight FPS with a RX 9070 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 123FPS min 80Excellent | 101FPS min 72Good | 59FPS min 52Acceptable |
| High | 160FPS min 104Excellent | 132FPS min 94Excellent | 76FPS min 66Good |
| Medium | 210FPS min 136Excellent | 172FPS min 123Excellent | 99FPS min 86Good |
| Low | 271FPS min 176Excellent | 223FPS min 159Excellent | 129FPS min 113Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 38% | CPU 27% | GPU 11% |
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 9070 XT. There is 13% 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 South of Midnight 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 9070 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 123 | 154 | 178 | 262 |
| 1440p | 101 | 136 | 167 | 231 |
| 4K | 59 | 86 | 109 | 146 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 9070 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.
With that CPU, the RX 9070 XT has headroom to spare in South of Midnight: 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 9070 XT Enough for South of Midnight?
The RX 9070 XT delivers 123 FPS at 1080p Ultra in South of Midnight. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 101 FPS and at 4K 59 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
