Updated June 2026
Recommended at 1080p: expect 67–105 FPS after applying the playbook below. RX 5700 pairs cleanly with Helldivers 2 — no single component is the wall.
Your RX 5700 and Helldivers 2 are paired well — neither is the runaway bottleneck. The biggest FPS gains come from a balanced cut: drop a couple of expensive effects (shadows, volumetrics) without touching what makes the game look like Helldivers 2.
Apply these settings in Helldivers 2
Ranked by FPS impact for tier C hardware. Apply the high-impact ones first — top three usually account for 60% of the gain.
AMD-specific tweaks
These are in AMD Adrenalin Software.
Equivalent to Reflex on AMD. ~10–20 ms input lag reduction on supported titles.
Lowers resolution dynamically during fast motion. Helps mid-tier cards hold framerate but adds blur — tune to taste.
Caps FPS based on movement to save power. Don't use in competitive — it adds frame variance.
How Helldivers 2 runs on RX 5700
Helldivers 2 runs on the Stingray (Autodesk) engine. At 8GB VRAM, the RX 5700 handles this engine's rendering pipeline with some settings adjustments. The engine's competitive multiplayer renderer prioritizes consistent frame times over visual fidelity, making settings optimization meaningful for C-tier hardware.
The RX 5700 is a solid 1080p card for Helldivers 2. Prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality — consistent 90+ FPS beats occasional 120 FPS with dips to 50.
Known quirks for RX 5700 in Helldivers 2
- •Monitor VRAM usage in-game — 8GB can be tight at Ultra settings
- •Enable AMD Anti-Lag if available for lower input latency
- •Update AMD drivers before optimizing — stale drivers can leave 5-10% FPS on the table
How we rank these settings
BetterFPS ranks each setting by its FPS-per-quality-cost ratio for your GPU tier. We pull from engine documentation, community benchmarks, and driver release notes to estimate each setting's render cost on AMD C-tier hardware at 1080p. High-impact settings are those where disabling or lowering them recovers significant frame time with minimal perceptible quality loss. The personalized optimizer refines these further using your CPU, RAM, and monitor refresh rate.
About the RX 5700
The RX 5700 (2019 release, 8GB VRAM) is a mid-range card. At 1080p in Helldivers 2, the biggest FPS levers are upscaling, shadow detail, and brand-specific latency reducers (AMD Anti-Lag). The settings above are the floor — for a fully personalized playbook factoring CPU, RAM, and your monitor refresh rate, run BetterFPS.
