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 341 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 250 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 125 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 657% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1050) for Warframe. The Core i5-14400T is 170% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4460).
Warframe supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4090.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Core i5-14400T sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p low, 4k low), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p (medium/high/ultra), 4k (medium/high/ultra).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Core i5-14400T sets the ceiling at about 523 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 700 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 25% (FPS gap: 177 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 3/12, balanced 5/12.
Your Core i5-14400T 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 25% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | 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 Core i5-14400T paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 125 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 657% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 170% 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 i5-14400T 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p low, 4k low.
Warframe currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
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 i5-14400T 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.
