The Sims™ 4 benchmark on RX 6950 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
The Sims™ 4 FPS with a RX 6950 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 96FPS min 68Good | 79FPS min 62Good | 46FPS min 40Acceptable |
| High | 125FPS min 88Excellent | 103FPS min 81Good | 60FPS min 53Good |
| Medium | 164FPS min 116Excellent | 135FPS min 106Excellent | 78FPS min 68Good |
| Low | 212FPS min 150Excellent | 174FPS min 136Excellent | 101FPS min 89Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 28% | CPU 15% | GPU 24% |
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 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6950 XT. There is 17% 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 Sims™ 4 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 6950 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 96 | 120 | 139 |
| 1440p | 79 | 107 | 130 |
| 4K | 46 | 67 | 85 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6950 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.
With that CPU, the RX 6950 XT has headroom to spare in The Sims™ 4: 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 6950 XT Enough for The Sims™ 4?
The RX 6950 XT delivers 96 FPS at 1080p Ultra in The Sims™ 4. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 79 FPS and at 4K 46 FPS at Ultra quality.

Our guide collects the settings that give between +40% and +90% FPS in The Sims™ 4 with barely any visual loss. Recommended settings, GPU-specific tips (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) and solutions to common game issues.
