VR support requires stronger hardware. The game also uses the CPU for voice recognition processing, adding a unique load.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 225 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 225 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 176 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 167% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Core i3-1315UE is 32% below minimum CPU requirement.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings), the Core i3-1315UE determines the performance ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 takes over as the primary performance factor.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1899. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 225 FPS, equivalent to 0.12 FPS per dollar.

At 1080p low, the Core i3-1315UE sets the ceiling at about 225 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 439 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 49% (FPS gap: 214 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 4/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Core i3-1315UE is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 49% | CPU Limits GPU 42% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 26% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 17% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 20% |
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.

Yes, the Core i3-1315UE paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 176 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 49% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1899 ($250 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 7845HX is a great upgrade option (Rank #1 for value).
For Phasmophobia, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i3-1315UE 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 medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Phasmophobia 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.
Phasmophobia requires at minimum a Core i5-4590 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 21 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10600 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 8 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These Phasmophobia 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.
