Where Winds Meet on Radeon RX 480

Meets minimumEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes, at lower settings. The Radeon RX 480 meets Where Winds Meet's minimum spec but not the recommended one. We estimate ~31 fps at 1080p high (range 25–37, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. 60 fps at 1080p is out of reach. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 6 GB the game requires at minimum. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the Arc A750 (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

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 480 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 i7-10700): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~31 fps.

Video memory

  • Radeon RX 480: 8 GB
  • Minimum spec: 6 GB (+2 GB headroom)

Cheapest upgrade for each target

Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Where Winds Meet; usually the cheapest.
