The First Descendant benchmark on RX 6650 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The First Descendant FPS with a RX 6650 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 63FPS min 55Good | 46FPS min 40Acceptable | 23FPS min 20Poor |
| High | 82FPS min 71Good | 60FPS min 53Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| Medium | 108FPS min 94Good | 79FPS min 69Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| Low | 140FPS min 122Excellent | 102FPS min 90Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | balanced | GPU 26% | GPU 64% |
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 RX 6650 XT. There is 14% 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 The First Descendant 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 6650 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 63 | 79 | 91 |
| 1440p | 46 | 62 | 76 |
| 4K | 23 | 33 | 43 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6650 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.
The RX 6650 XT and that processor are well matched in The First Descendant: 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.
Is the RX 6650 XT Enough for The First Descendant?
The RX 6650 XT delivers 63 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The First Descendant. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 46 FPS and at 4K 23 FPS at Ultra quality.
