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 Vega 56. There is 33% 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 RX Vega 56 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	105	131	152
1440p	64	86	106
4K	26	38	48

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 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 Vega 56 has headroom to spare in Stellaris: 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.

The CheckFPS verdict

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

Is the RX Vega 56 Enough for Stellaris?

The RX Vega 56 delivers 105 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Stellaris. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.

At 1440p it gets 64 FPS and at 4K 26 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Stellaris on the RX Vega 56

How many FPS does the RX Vega 56 get in Stellaris at 1080p?

The RX Vega 56 averages 105 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 136 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 230 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX Vega 56 manages around 64 FPS at 1440p and around 26 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX Vega 56 run Stellaris at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX Vega 56 averages above 60 FPS in Stellaris at 1080p, 1440p. 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 RX Vega 56 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 RX Vega 56 from around 26 native FPS to an estimated 38 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX Vega 56?

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 RX Vega 56 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
