How to Fish on Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB
Yes. The Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB meets How to Fish's recommended spec. We estimate ~86 fps at 1080p high (range 60–112, low confidence, ±30%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~60 fps on high). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |

| low | 146 | 102 | 61 |
| medium | 112 | 78 | 47 |
| high | 86 | 60 | 36 |
| ultra | 69 | 48 | 29 |
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: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low 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 5500 XT 8GB back.
- Processor needed for ~86 fps: Ryzen 5 5500 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
Video memory
- Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB: 8 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
