Wallpaper Engine benchmark on RX 580 8GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Wallpaper Engine FPS with a RX 580 8GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 180FPS min 103Excellent | 92FPS min 67Good | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 234FPS min 134Excellent | 119FPS min 87Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Medium | 306FPS min 176Excellent | 156FPS min 114Excellent | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Low | 396FPS min 227Excellent | 202FPS min 148Excellent | 70FPS min 62Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 51% | CPU 24% | GPU 49% |
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 580 8GB. 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 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 580 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 180 | 225 | 261 |
| 1440p | 92 | 124 | 152 |
| 4K | 32 | 46 | 59 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 580 8GB 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 580 8GB 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 580 8GB Enough for Wallpaper Engine?
The RX 580 8GB delivers 180 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Wallpaper Engine. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 92 FPS and at 4K 32 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
