HELLDIVERS 2 on Radeon R9 380X
Yes, at lower settings. The Radeon R9 380X meets HELLDIVERS 2's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~31 fps at 1080p high (range 25–38, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 5600 XT (~61 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset

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 R9 380X back.
- Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-9700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~31 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon R9 380X: 4 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
