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.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 255 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 191 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 105 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 657% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1050) for Warframe. The EPYC 7F52 is 435% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4460).
The EPYC 7F52 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k ultra, while the GPU has headroom. The system is well balanced at 4k (low/medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $3475. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 255 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

At 1080p ultra, the EPYC 7F52 sets the ceiling at about 256 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 409 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 37% (FPS gap: 153 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your EPYC 7F52 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 27% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 37% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 24% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
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 EPYC 7F52 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 657% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 435% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3475 ($1826 CPU (Rank #441 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 7F52 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the EPYC 4585PX is a great upgrade option for around $699 (Rank #66 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your EPYC 7F52 is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Warframe performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k ultra.
Warframe 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.
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 EPYC 7F52 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.
