📈Analysis

Which Component Limits FPS Most?

This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is clearly the CPU.

The largest gap appears at 1080p Low, where the EPYC 8024P reaches about 511 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 still has headroom up to roughly 847 FPS.

That means the EPYC 8024P is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 40% gap versus the GeForce RTX 5090's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is CPU-limited in 12 out of 12 cases, with 0 GPU-limited and 0 balanced results.

Overall, this is a clearly CPU-bound combination in this game.

Verdict

Upgrade Recommendations

CPU-Limited

The EPYC 8024P is consistently the limiting part in this game, so upgrading the CPU is more likely to deliver a larger FPS gain than upgrading the GPU.

Detailed BreakdownShows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting

This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.

The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.

🧠Methodology

Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.

To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the EPYC 8024P with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the GeForce RTX 5090 with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.

The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.

The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.

Warframe FAQ

1Can the EPYC 8024P and GeForce RTX 5090 run Warframe well?

Yes, the EPYC 8024P paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 77 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 672% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 165% above the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Warframe?

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.

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Warframe performance?

For Warframe, upgrading the CPU would usually improve performance first. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, the EPYC 8024P is the side that most often caps the frame rate, while the GeForce RTX 5090 still has additional headroom in the tested presets. The main bottleneck appears on the CPU side. The largest gap shows up at 1080p Low, where the CPU reaches about 511 FPS while the GPU still has headroom up to roughly 847 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 0/12 GPU-limited, 12/12 CPU-limited, and 0/12 balanced.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Warframe?

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.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Warframe?

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 8024P and GeForce RTX 5090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.

6How accurate are these Warframe FPS estimates for the EPYC 8024P and GeForce RTX 5090?

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.
