Can My RX 6700 XT Run Helldivers 2? FPS Estimate & System Requirements (2026)

The RX 6700 XT runs Helldivers 2 at 1080p in the 45 FPS range on low–medium settings. It is playable, but you will lean on upscaling and lowered detail to hold 60.

On a RX 6700 XT, aim for 1080p with upscaling in Helldivers 2. The RX 6700 XT runs Helldivers 2 at 1080p in the 45 FPS range on low–medium settings. It is playable, but you will lean on upscaling and lowered detail to hold 60.

Unlike most titles, Helldivers 2 leans on the processor more than the RX 6700 XT. At 1080p you can already be CPU-limited, so a faster RX 6700 XT gives diminishing returns — spend the budget on a stronger CPU or faster RAM. The RX 6700 XT has more than enough pixel-pushing power for Helldivers 2.

At 45 FPS native 1080p, turn on FSR/DLSS (performance or balanced) and cap the frame rate at 60 to smooth pacing. Reserve higher resolutions for a future GPU upgrade.

The limiting factor for this specific pairing is your CPU. Helldivers 2 spends most of its frame budget on the processor (entity counts, physics, draw calls), so the RX 6700 XT — a high-end card at relative index 63/100 — rarely reaches its own limit. Upgrading the CPU yields more FPS than upgrading the GPU here.

Helldivers 2 is assigned a hardware-demand tier 8/9 from its published requirements (or release era + genre). Each GPU has a relative-performance index (RTX 4090 = 100, source TechPowerUp). FPS ≈ 60 × (GPU index ÷ required index)^0.85, then scaled ×0.66 for 1440p and ×0.38 for 4K. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
