The AMD RX 580 (4GB) is a entry-level card with 4GB of VRAM, and Returnal is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 63 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 36 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 36 | 63 |
| 1440p | 22 | 49 |
| 4K | 12 | 28 |
At 1080p expect around 63 FPS, at 1440p about 49 FPS, and at 4K roughly 28 FPS with optimized settings. With only 4GB of VRAM, keep textures a notch below max at higher resolutions to avoid stutter. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
