The AMD RX 6700 XT is a strong 1440p card with 12GB of VRAM, and Returnal is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 9 5950X-class CPU it averages about 65 FPS at 1440p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 66 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 110 | 109 |
| 1440p | 66 | 65 |
| 4K | 37 | 62 |
At 1080p expect around 109 FPS, at 1440p about 65 FPS, and at 4K roughly 62 FPS with optimized settings. Returnal doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
