Total War: PHARAOH benchmark on RX 5700 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Total War: PHARAOH FPS with a RX 5700 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 67FPS min 54Good | 53FPS min 46Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| High | 87FPS min 71Good | 68FPS min 59Good | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Medium | 113FPS min 92Good | 90FPS min 79Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable |
| Low | 146FPS min 119Excellent | 116FPS min 101Good | 55FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 10% | GPU 16% | GPU 60% |
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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 5700 XT. There is 32% 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 Total War: PHARAOH 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 5700 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 67 | 84 | 97 |
| 1440p | 53 | 72 | 87 |
| 4K | 25 | 36 | 46 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 XT 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 5700 XT has headroom to spare in Total War: PHARAOH: 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 5700 XT Enough for Total War: PHARAOH?
The RX 5700 XT delivers 67 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Total War: PHARAOH. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 53 FPS and at 4K 25 FPS at Ultra quality.
