As the world's most popular MOBA, League of Legends runs on a proprietary engine that has been updated for over a decade. Recently, Riot increased the minimum requirements to include AVX instruction support and dropped support for older OSs and DirectX 9. While still lightweight, modern team fights with complex particle effects can strain older integrated graphics. The game scales well with single-thread CPU performance, meaning even modern entry-level processors can deliver high frame rates.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 252 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 183 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 108 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6600 is 445% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 560) for League of Legends. The Ryzen 5 5600X is 241% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3330).
At lower resolutions (1080p low), the Ryzen 5 5600X sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p ultra, 1440p (low/high/ultra), all 4k settings), the Radeon RX 6600 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (medium/high), 1440p medium.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $315. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 252 FPS, equivalent to 0.8 FPS per dollar.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

| 1080p | 1.432 fps/$ | 1.171 fps/$ | 0.940 fps/$ | 0.800 fps/$ |
| 1440p | 1.108 fps/$ | 0.930 fps/$ | 0.714 fps/$ | 0.581 fps/$ |
| 4k | 0.679 fps/$ | 0.571 fps/$ | 0.438 fps/$ | 0.343 fps/$ |

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 6600 sets the ceiling at about 159 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 5600X has headroom up to 207 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 23% (FPS gap: 48 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Radeon RX 6600 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 5 5600X frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 9% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 22% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 23% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the Radeon RX 6600 can run League of Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 108 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 445% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 241% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $315 ($135 CPU + $180 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 3070 for around $499 (Rank #137 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For League of Legends, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6600 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 5 5600X still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low.
League of Legends does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
League of Legends requires at minimum a Core i3-530 (CPU) and GeForce 9600 GT (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3330 and GeForce GTX 560 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 5 5600X and Radeon RX 6600 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These League of Legends FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
