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 229 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 221 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 135 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4080 is 141% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Core i7-13700K is 159% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600).
At lower resolutions (1080p low), the Core i7-13700K sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra), the GeForce RTX 4080 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (medium/high/ultra), 1440p (low/medium/high), all 4k settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1200. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 229 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 1080p low, the Core i7-13700K sets the ceiling at about 356 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4080 could reach 383 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 7% (FPS gap: 27 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 1/12 cells, GPU limits 3/12, balanced 8/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The Core i7-13700K and GeForce RTX 4080 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 7% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
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 159% above and your GPU is 141% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Core i7-13700K paired with the GeForce RTX 4080 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 135 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 141% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 159% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1200 ($400 CPU + $800 GPU). Your GeForce RTX 4080 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5090 D for around $1999 (Rank #374 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 4080 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Phasmophobia performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low.
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 Core i7-13700K and GeForce RTX 4080 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
