A massive evolution with physically based rendering and fluid animations. The high density of effects creates a heavy load on both CPU and GPU. It scales well up to 16 threads.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 184 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 141 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 87 FPS.
The Radeon Pro W6900X is 23% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Path of Exile 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10500).
The Radeon Pro W6900X sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k (low/medium), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 4k (high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $5384. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 195 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p low, the Radeon Pro W6900X sets the ceiling at about 182 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 282 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 35% (FPS gap: 100 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 10/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Radeon Pro W6900X is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 14% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 35% | GPU Limits CPU 35% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 26% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | Balanced | Balanced |
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, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon Pro W6900X can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 23% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $5384 ($384 CPU + $5000 GPU). Your Radeon Pro W6900X is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($5000) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell for around $2399 (Rank #51 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Path of Exile 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Pro W6900X is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium.
Path of Exile 2 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.
Path of Exile 2 requires at minimum a Core i7-7700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 100 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10500 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon Pro W6900X both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Path of Exile 2 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.
