A Valve classic that depends heavily on single-thread clock speed. It runs well on older hardware but benefits from a fast CPU.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 450 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 450 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 358 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 11147% above the recommended GPU (GeForce 8600 GT) for Team Fortress 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 1465% above the recommended CPU (Core 2 Duo).
Team Fortress 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 4070 Ti SUPER.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium), 1440p low, 4k low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (4k ultra), the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), 4k (medium/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1184. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 450 FPS, equivalent to 0.38 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 574 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER could reach 700 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 18% (FPS gap: 126 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 1/12, balanced 7/12.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 11% | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 18% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 18% |
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 RTX 4070 Ti SUPER can run Team Fortress 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 358 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 11147% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 1465% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1184 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $800 GPU (Rank #63 Value)). 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 Team Fortress 2, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 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 low, 1080p medium, 1440p low, 4k low. GPU fully utilized at: 4k ultra.
Team Fortress 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.
Team Fortress 2 requires at minimum a Pentium 4 (3.0 GHz) (CPU) and GeForce 6 series (GPU) with 1 GB RAM and 15 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core 2 Duo and GeForce 8600 GT with 2 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Team Fortress 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.
