How the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT measures up
| Requirement | AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT | Minimum | Recommended | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPU performance score | 12 | 13 | 27 | Below |

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the low preset. High settings fall short here, so drop the preset before touching resolution.
At 1440p
Around 16 FPS on high — this card is happier at 1080p for this title.
At 4K
Around 9 FPS — not a realistic target for this pairing.
VRAM headroom
At 4GB you are under the 12GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

What settings should I use?
Start at the low preset at 1080p.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
