Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 203 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 174 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 95 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is 142% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Path of Exile 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10500).
Path of Exile 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 4080 SUPER.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/medium/high), while the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p ultra, 4k ultra.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1383. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 211 FPS, equivalent to 0.15 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 273 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER could reach 360 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 24% (FPS gap: 87 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 10/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | 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 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 95 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 142% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1383 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $999 GPU (Rank #68 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 Path of Exile 2, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4080 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium.
Path of Exile 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. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
Path of Exile 2 requires at minimum a Core i7-7700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 100 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10500 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Path of Exile 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.
