Wallpaper Engine benchmark on RX 5500 XT 4GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Wallpaper Engine FPS with a RX 5500 XT 4GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 166FPS min 97Excellent | 74FPS min 59Good | 24FPS min 21Poor |
| High | 215FPS min 126Excellent | 97FPS min 77Good | 31FPS min 28Acceptable |
| Medium | 282FPS min 165Excellent | 126FPS min 100Excellent | 40FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Low | 364FPS min 213Excellent | 163FPS min 130Excellent | 52FPS min 46Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 49% | CPU 13% | GPU 62% |
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 5500 XT 4GB. There is 11% 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 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 RX 5500 XT 4GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 166 | 208 | 241 |
| 1440p | 74 | 100 | 122 |
| 4K | 24 | 35 | 44 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5500 XT 4GB 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 5500 XT 4GB 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. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 5500 XT 4GB Enough for Wallpaper Engine?
The RX 5500 XT 4GB delivers 166 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Wallpaper Engine. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 74 FPS and at 4K 24 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
