Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 377 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 296 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 156 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 657% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1050) for Warframe. The EPYC 9355P is 1158% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4460).
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium/high)), the EPYC 9355P sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra, 1440p (low/medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $4675. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 377 FPS, equivalent to 0.08 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 117 FPS, while the EPYC 9355P has headroom up to 162 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 28% (FPS gap: 45 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 5/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 4/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the EPYC 9355P frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 14% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 28% |
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, not generic utilization heuristics.

The EPYC 9355P + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 0% and 53% and GPU utilization between 44% and 100%. EPYC 9355P keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 66% at 1080p to 79% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 31% to 13%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 94% usage (87-100%), while the EPYC 9355P stays at 20% (2-39%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 31% and GPU 66%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 19% and GPU 82%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 13% and GPU 79%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 14% (0-27%) and GPU 92% (83-100%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 9355P remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the EPYC 9355P and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the EPYC 9355P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 156 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 657% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 1158% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $4675 ($3026 CPU (Rank #287 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 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.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 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 Warframe performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high.
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 9355P 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.
