VR support requires stronger hardware. The game also uses the CPU for voice recognition processing, adding a unique load.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 144 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 105 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 59 to 90 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 3060 is 19% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Ryzen 5 5600X is 24% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600).
The GeForce RTX 3060 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, executing at maximum capacity.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $424. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 144 FPS, equivalent to 0.34 FPS per dollar.

At 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 3060 sets the ceiling at about 104 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 5600X has headroom up to 245 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 58% (FPS gap: 141 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 3060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 5 5600X frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 50% | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 54% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 58% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 46% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 50% |
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.
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 5600X paired with the GeForce RTX 3060 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 19% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 24% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $424 ($135 CPU (Rank #39 Value) + $289 GPU (Rank #30 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Phasmophobia, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 3060 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 5 5600X still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Phasmophobia 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.
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 Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3060 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
