Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 165 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 160 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 105 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 295% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Core Ultra 7 155H is 90% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
The Core Ultra 7 155H determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
At 1080p ultra, the Core Ultra 7 155H sets the ceiling at about 166 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 273 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 39% (FPS gap: 107 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Core Ultra 7 155H 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 26% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 39% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 33% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 27% |
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.

The Core Ultra 7 155H + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 6% and 46% and GPU utilization between 73% and 100%. Core Ultra 7 155H keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 89% at 1080p to 92% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 25% to 20%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 100% usage (99-100%), while the Core Ultra 7 155H stays at 28% (20-37%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 25% and GPU 89%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 24% and GPU 92%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 20% and GPU 92%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 17% (9-25%) and GPU 85% (76-94%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core Ultra 7 155H remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 100% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra while the Core Ultra 7 155H still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.

Yes, the Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 295% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 90% 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 Destiny 2, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core Ultra 7 155H 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, 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 Core Ultra 7 155H and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
