On a AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Dune: Awakening runs at roughly 65 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 48FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Dune: Awakening is a one of the most punishing games to run on PC. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it runs well at 1080p — about 65 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.
Across resolutions you can expect around 65 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 43 FPS at 4K. Dune: Awakening offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX Vega 64 (8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. With only 8GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max in Dune: Awakening at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 48 | 65 |
| 1440p | 29 | 62 |
| 4K | 16 | 43 |

FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
