Runs on the incredibly optimized Evolution Engine. It can be heavy in open-world areas and CPU-limited in horde modes with many enemies, but generally runs well on a wide range of hardware.

Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 351 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 228 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 113 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 657% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1050) for Warframe. The Core 7 240H is 219% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4460).
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra)), the Core 7 240H determines the performance ceiling. As graphical load increases at (4k low), the GeForce RTX 4090 takes over as the primary performance factor. The system is well balanced at 1080p medium, 1440p low, 4k (medium/high/ultra).
At 1080p ultra, the Core 7 240H sets the ceiling at about 351 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 404 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 13% (FPS gap: 53 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 6/12 cells, GPU limits 1/12, balanced 5/12.
The Core 7 240H and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 9% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | Balanced | 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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, 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.

Yes, the Core 7 240H paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 113 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 657% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 219% above the recommended requirements.
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 Warframe, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core 7 240H is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 4k low.
Warframe 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.
Warframe requires at minimum a Core i7-860 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 650 (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-4460 and GeForce GTX 1050 with 8 GB RAM. Your Core 7 240H and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Warframe 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.
