Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 364 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 298 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 155 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 167% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Ryzen 5 4600GE is 10% below recommended, but 21% above minimum.
Phasmophobia 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 (1080p low), the Ryzen 5 4600GE sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p medium, 1440p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1774. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 364 FPS, equivalent to 0.21 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 177 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 4600GE has headroom up to 244 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 27% (FPS gap: 67 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 5 4600GE frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 16% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 22% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 19% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 4600GE paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 155 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 10% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1774 ($125 CPU (Rank #110 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 Phasmophobia performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low.
Phasmophobia 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 and XeSS, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
Phasmophobia requires at minimum a Core i5-4590 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 21 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10600 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 8 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Phasmophobia 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.
