Escape from Tarkov on Radeon RX 6500 XT
No. The Radeon RX 6500 XT is below Escape from Tarkov's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 1660). Our model still estimates ~27 fps at 1080p low (range 22–32, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 4070 (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 27 | 19 | 11 |
| medium | 21 | 14 | 9 |
| high | 16 | 11 | 7 |
| ultra | 13 | 9 | 5 |
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: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
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 6500 XT back.
- Processor needed for ~27 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~16 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 6500 XT: 4 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
