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 590. There is 7% 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 590 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	244	305	354
1440p	122	165	201
4K	40	58	74

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.

With that CPU, the RX 590 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.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX 590 Enough for Wallpaper Engine?

The RX 590 delivers 244 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Wallpaper Engine. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.

At 1440p it gets 122 FPS and at 4K 40 FPS at Ultra quality.

This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably

Frequently asked questions about Wallpaper Engine on the RX 590

How many FPS does the RX 590 get in Wallpaper Engine at 1080p?

The RX 590 averages 244 FPS in Wallpaper Engine at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 317 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 500 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 590 manages around 122 FPS at 1440p and around 40 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 590 run Wallpaper Engine at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX 590 averages above 60 FPS in Wallpaper Engine at 1080p, 1440p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Wallpaper Engine figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX 590 has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Wallpaper Engine?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 590 from around 40 native FPS to an estimated 58 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 590?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX 590 is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
