SILENT HILL 2 on Radeon RX 9070 XT
Yes. The Radeon RX 9070 XT is well above SILENT HILL 2's recommended spec. We estimate ~128 fps at 1080p high (range 102–153, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~90 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 217 | 152 | 91 |
| medium | 166 | 116 | 70 |
| high | 128 | 90 | 54 |
| ultra | 102 | 72 | 43 |
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 9070 XT back.
- Processor needed for ~128 fps: Core i5-14400 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 128.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 9070 XT: 16 GB
- The publisher lists no video memory requirement.
Cheapest upgrade for each target
