Subnautica benchmark on RTX 5070 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Subnautica FPS with a RTX 5070 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 284FPS min 145Excellent | 213FPS min 120Excellent | 95FPS min 73Good |
| High | 369FPS min 188Excellent | 278FPS min 156Excellent | 124FPS min 96Excellent |
| Medium | 482FPS min 246Excellent | 363FPS min 204Excellent | 162FPS min 125Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 255Excellent | 470FPS min 264Excellent | 210FPS min 162Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 62% | CPU 53% | CPU 17% |
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 RTX 5070 Laptop. There is 6% 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.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Subnautica 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 RTX 5070 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 284 | 355 | 412 | 604 |
| 1440p | 213 | 288 | 351 | 490 |
| 4K | 95 | 138 | 176 | 235 |
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 RTX 5070 Laptop 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 DLSS 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 RTX 5070 Laptop has headroom to spare in Subnautica: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 5070 Laptop Enough for Subnautica?
The RTX 5070 Laptop delivers 284 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Subnautica. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 213 FPS and at 4K 95 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
