How to Fish on Radeon R9 380
Yes. The Radeon R9 380 meets How to Fish's recommended spec. We estimate ~57 fps at 1080p high (range 40–75, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1080p, use the medium preset. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Radeon RX 6500 XT (~66 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 98 | 68 | 41 |
| medium | 75 | 52 | 31 |
| high | 57 | 40 | 24 |
| ultra | 46 | 32 | 19 |
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: medium preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: low preset
- 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 380 back.
- Processor needed for ~57 fps: Core i3-10100 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- Radeon R9 380: 4 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
