Being turn-based, extreme FPS is less critical here. The game features high-fidelity models and uses considerable storage for audio and cutscenes. 8GB of RAM is recommended for smooth operation.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 56 to 59 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 54 to 58 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 48 to 63 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 1080 is 55% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Honkai: Star Rail. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 59% above the recommended CPU (Core i7).
Honkai: Star Rail 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 GTX 1080.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k (low/medium), while the GeForce GTX 1080 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 4k (high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $475. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 58 FPS, equivalent to 0.12 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 62 FPS, while the GeForce GTX 1080 could reach 95 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 35% (FPS gap: 33 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce GTX 1080 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 30% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 30% | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 20% | CPU Limits GPU 23% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 30% | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | 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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1080 will struggle to run Honkai: Star Rail at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 58 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $475 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $91 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Honkai: Star Rail, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce GTX 1080 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, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium.
Honkai: Star Rail supports AFMF, but your GeForce GTX 1080 is not compatible with these technologies. Frame Generation is typically available on newer GPUs like the RTX 40-series (DLSS 3) or modern AMD cards (FSR 3).
Honkai: Star Rail requires at minimum a Core i3 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 650 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 20 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1080 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Honkai: Star Rail 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.
