At 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4060 sets the ceiling at about 52 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has headroom up to 161 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 68% (FPS gap: 109 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.

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.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D + GeForce RTX 4060 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 0% and 35% and GPU utilization between 49% and 100%. Ryzen 7 5800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4060 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 76% at 1080p to 81% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 15% to 4%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4060 averages 94% usage (87-100%), while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D stays at 8% (5-11%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 15% and GPU 76%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 3% and GPU 78%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 4% and GPU 81%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 4% (1-7%) and GPU 87% (77-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4060 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 4060 remain reasonably matched for this title.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4060 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 63 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 37% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 60% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $728 ($429 CPU (Rank #295 Value) + $299 GPU (Rank #12 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 3070 Ti for around $599 (Rank #37 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Phasmophobia, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 4060 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.
