Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 307 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 247 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 150 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 657% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1050) for Warframe. The Ryzen 5 4600G is 107% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4460).
Warframe supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4090.
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings), the Ryzen 5 4600G sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1440p settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1792. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 307 FPS, equivalent to 0.17 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 5 4600G sets the ceiling at about 400 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 700 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 43% (FPS gap: 300 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 4/12, balanced 4/12.
Your Ryzen 5 4600G 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 43% | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 24% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 24% |
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.
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 150 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 657% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 107% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1792 ($143 CPU (Rank #154 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: 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra.
Warframe currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
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 Ryzen 5 4600G 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.
