Optimized to run on laptops, it is largely CPU-limited by the simulation. Installing many DLCs and expansions significantly increases RAM and storage load.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 275 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 259 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 187 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 D is 2238% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 650) for The Sims 4. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 180% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4460).
The Sims 4 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 5090 D.
At lower resolutions (4k (high/ultra)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (low/medium/high)), the GeForce RTX 5090 D becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p ultra, all 1440p settings, 4k (low/medium).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the GeForce RTX 5090 D sets the ceiling at about 332 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 376 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 12% (FPS gap: 44 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 3/12 cells, CPU limits 2/12, balanced 7/12.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 D 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) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 9% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
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 5090 D can run The Sims 4 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 187 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 2238% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 180% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
Your GeForce RTX 5090 D is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your The Sims 4 performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium. CPU-limited at: 4k high, 4k ultra.
The Sims 4 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.
The Sims 4 requires at minimum a Core i3-3220 (CPU) and GeForce 6600 (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 25 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-4460 and GeForce GTX 650 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 D both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These The Sims 4 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.
