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.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 90 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 77 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 36 to 64 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 1660 is 21% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 164% 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 GTX 1660.
The GeForce GTX 1660 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $564. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 90 FPS, equivalent to 0.16 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce GTX 1660 sets the ceiling at about 38 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 147 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 74% (FPS gap: 109 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce GTX 1660 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 49% | GPU Limits CPU 53% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 63% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 61% | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 69% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 67% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 74% |
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 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce GTX 1660 can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 77 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 21% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 164% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $564 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $180 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Destiny 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce GTX 1660 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Destiny 2 supports AFMF, but your GeForce GTX 1660 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).
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 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1660 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.
