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 i5-12400F downwards the processor becomes the brake on the Arc A380. There is 45% 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.

XeSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling

Upscaling renders Stellaris 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 Arc A380 with XeSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	XeSS Quality	XeSS Performance
1080p	65	81	94
1440p	38	51	63
4K	13	19	24

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The Arc A380 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 XeSS 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 Arc A380 and that processor are well matched in Stellaris: 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.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the Arc A380 Enough for Stellaris?

The Arc A380 delivers 65 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Stellaris. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.

At 1440p it gets 38 FPS and at 4K 13 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Stellaris on the Arc A380

How many FPS does the Arc A380 get in Stellaris at 1080p?

The Arc A380 averages 65 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 84 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 142 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the Arc A380 manages around 38 FPS at 1440p and around 13 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the Arc A380 run Stellaris at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the Arc A380 averages above 60 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Stellaris figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no DLSS, FSR or XeSS, and with ray tracing off. The Arc A380 can do both: upscaling pushes the frame rate up, ray tracing pulls it down.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on XeSS in Stellaris?

At 4K, XeSS on Quality mode takes the Arc A380 from around 13 native FPS to an estimated 19 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the Arc A380?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the Arc A380 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
