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, frame rates range from 19 to 52 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 17 to 42 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 10 to 23 FPS.
The Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design is 31% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 164% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
The Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design sets the ceiling at about 18 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 100 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 82% (FPS gap: 82 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design 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 69% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 77% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 69% | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 78% | GPU Limits CPU 77% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 76% | GPU Limits CPU 78% | GPU Limits CPU 82% | GPU Limits CPU 81% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design will struggle to run Destiny 2 at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 19 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Destiny 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design 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, 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 Quadro RTX 5000 with Max-Q Design 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.
