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 5 5600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the R9 380. There is 40% 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 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 R9 380 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	63	79	91
1440p	38	51	63
4K	13	19	24

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 380 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.

The R9 380 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 R9 380 Enough for Stellaris?

The R9 380 delivers 63 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Stellaris. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.

Frequently asked questions about Stellaris on the R9 380

How many FPS does the R9 380 get in Stellaris at 1080p?

The R9 380 averages 63 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 82 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 138 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the R9 380 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 R9 380 run Stellaris at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the R9 380 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 AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The R9 380 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

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

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the R9 380 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 R9 380?

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 R9 380 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
