Wallpaper Engine benchmark on Arc A580: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Wallpaper Engine FPS with a Arc A580 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 428FPS min 201Excellent | 247FPS min 135Excellent | 71FPS min 62Good |
| High | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 321FPS min 175Excellent | 92FPS min 80Good |
| Medium | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 419FPS min 228Excellent | 120FPS min 104Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 500FPS min 273Excellent | 156FPS min 136Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 69% | CPU 56% | balanced |
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 Arc A580. There is 4% 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.
XeSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Wallpaper Engine 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 Arc A580 with XeSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | XeSS Quality | XeSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 428 | 535 | 621 |
| 1440p | 247 | 333 | 408 |
| 4K | 71 | 103 | 131 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The Arc A580 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 XeSS 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 Arc A580 has headroom to spare in Wallpaper Engine: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the Arc A580 Enough for Wallpaper Engine?
The Arc A580 delivers 428 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Wallpaper Engine. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 247 FPS and at 4K 71 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
