Best League of Legends 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), League of Legends runs at roughly 162 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 162FPS 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 League of Legends is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it flies at 1080p — about 162 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 162 FPS at 1080p and 144 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 82 FPS at 4K. League of Legends doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.
