Valorant benchmark on RX 5600 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Valorant FPS with a RX 5600 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 161FPS min 91Excellent | 98FPS min 67Good | 37FPS min 33Acceptable |
| High | 209FPS min 118Excellent | 128FPS min 88Excellent | 48FPS min 42Acceptable |
| Medium | 273FPS min 154Excellent | 167FPS min 114Excellent | 63FPS min 56Good |
| Low | 353FPS min 199Excellent | 217FPS min 149Excellent | 81FPS min 71Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 53% | CPU 32% | GPU 41% |
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 5600 XT. There is 16% 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 Valorant 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 5600 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 161 | 201 | 233 |
| 1440p | 98 | 132 | 162 |
| 4K | 37 | 54 | 68 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5600 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 5600 XT has headroom to spare in Valorant: 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 5600 XT Enough for Valorant?
The RX 5600 XT delivers 161 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Valorant. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 98 FPS and at 4K 37 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
