Dune: Awakening on Radeon RX 7900 XT
Yes. The Radeon RX 7900 XT is well above Dune: Awakening's recommended spec. We estimate ~111 fps at 1080p high (range 89–133, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~78 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 20 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 189 | 132 | 79 |
| medium | 144 | 101 | 61 |
| high | 111 | 78 | 47 |
| ultra | 89 | 62 | 37 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium preset
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 7900 XT back.
- Processor needed for ~111 fps: Ryzen 5 5500 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-10700K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 111.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 7900 XT: 20 GB
- Minimum spec: 6 GB (+14 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 8 GB (+12 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Dune: Awakening; usually the cheapest.
