Total War: PHARAOH benchmark on RX 590: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Total War: PHARAOH FPS with a RX 590 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 43FPS min 38Acceptable | 28FPS min 25Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| High | 56FPS min 49Acceptable | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 73FPS min 64Good | 47FPS min 42Acceptable | 19FPS min 17Poor |
| Low | 95FPS min 84Good | 61FPS min 54Good | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 31% | GPU 56% | GPU 82% |
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 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 590. There is 10% 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 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 43 | 54 | 62 |
| 1440p | 28 | 38 | 46 |
| 4K | 11 | 16 | 20 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 590 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX 590 is what caps the frame rate in Total War: PHARAOH. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 590 Enough for Total War: PHARAOH?
The RX 590 delivers 43 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Total War: PHARAOH. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 28 FPS and at 4K 11 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
