Uses the stable Tiger engine. It has dropped support for older OSs and requires significant storage space. A decent CPU is needed for raids and activities with many enemies.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 229 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 216 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 139 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 295% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The EPYC 9555P is 941% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
The EPYC 9555P determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k (low/medium/high), while the GPU has headroom. The system is well balanced at 4k ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $7779. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 229 FPS, equivalent to 0.03 FPS per dollar.

At 1440p medium, the EPYC 9555P sets the ceiling at about 287 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 368 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 22% (FPS gap: 81 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your EPYC 9555P 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 18% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 16% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 20% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | 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.

Yes, the EPYC 9555P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 139 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 295% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 941% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $7779 ($6130 CPU (Rank #390 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 9555P 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 Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX is a great upgrade option for around $11699 (Rank #418 for value).
Your EPYC 9555P 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 Destiny 2 performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high.
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 EPYC 9555P 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.
