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.

Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 235 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 236 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 147 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 295% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Ryzen 5 7500F is 105% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
Destiny 2 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.
The Ryzen 5 7500F sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (medium/high), while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p ultra, 4k (low/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1794. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 235 FPS, equivalent to 0.13 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p high, the Ryzen 5 7500F sets the ceiling at about 251 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 319 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 68 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Ryzen 5 7500F 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 15% | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 14% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 11% | 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.
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 7500F paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 147 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 295% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 105% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1794 ($145 CPU (Rank #25 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the CPU. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Destiny 2, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 5 7500F is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k high, 4k medium.
Destiny 2 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.
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 Ryzen 5 7500F 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.
