Best Atomic Heart settings for the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Atomic Heart runs at roughly 67 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 68FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Atomic Heart is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 67 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 67 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 56 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
