Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 215 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 180 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 95 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 170% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Final Fantasy XIV. The EPYC 4364P is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-9700).
The EPYC 4364P determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p medium, 4k low, while the GPU has headroom. The system is well balanced at 1440p (low/high/ultra), 4k (medium/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1983. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 215 FPS, equivalent to 0.11 FPS per dollar.

At 1080p medium, the EPYC 4364P sets the ceiling at about 281 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 335 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 16% (FPS gap: 54 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.
Your EPYC 4364P 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 14% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 9% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 6% | 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.
Your CPU is 53% above and your GPU is 170% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the EPYC 4364P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Final Fantasy XIV smoothly up to 4k achieving around 95 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 170% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1983 ($334 CPU (Rank #65 Value) + $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 Xeon Platinum 8571N is a great upgrade option for around $599 (Rank #60 for value).
For Final Fantasy XIV, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The EPYC 4364P 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 medium, 4k low.
Final Fantasy XIV 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.
Final Fantasy XIV requires at minimum a Core i5-8400 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 140 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-9700 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your EPYC 4364P and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Final Fantasy XIV 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.
