Uses the stable Tiger engine. It has dropped support for older OSs and requires significant storage space. A decent CPU is needed for raids and activities with many enemies.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 188 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 159 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 105 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is 123% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 164% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p ultra, 1440p (medium/high/ultra), all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium/high), 1440p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $978.13. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 188 FPS, equivalent to 0.19 FPS per dollar.

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 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti sets the ceiling at about 125 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 161 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 22% (FPS gap: 36 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.
Your GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 9% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 16% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 22% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 164% above and your GPU is 123% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 123% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 164% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $978.13 ($378.13 CPU + $600 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 4070 Ti for around $799 (Rank #248 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Destiny 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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 ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Destiny 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.
Destiny 2 requires at minimum a Core i3-3250 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 660 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 105 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-2400 and GeForce GTX 970 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Destiny 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.
