The First Descendant benchmark on RX 9060 XT 16GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The First Descendant FPS with a RX 9060 XT 16GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 107FPS min 73Good | 67FPS min 58Good | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| High | 139FPS min 95Excellent | 87FPS min 76Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| Medium | 182FPS min 125Excellent | 114FPS min 99Good | 56FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Low | 236FPS min 162Excellent | 147FPS min 128Excellent | 73FPS min 65Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 32% | balanced | GPU 47% |
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 9060 XT 16GB. There is 12% 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 9060 XT 16GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 107 | 134 | 155 | 228 |
| 1440p | 67 | 90 | 111 | 153 |
| 4K | 33 | 48 | 61 | 82 |
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 RX 9060 XT 16GB 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.
With that CPU, the RX 9060 XT 16GB has headroom to spare in The First Descendant: 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.
Is the RX 9060 XT 16GB Enough for The First Descendant?
The RX 9060 XT 16GB delivers 107 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 67 FPS and at 4K 33 FPS at Ultra quality.
