Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 110 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 81 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 35 to 58 FPS.
The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is 7% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Final Fantasy XIV. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-9700).
The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU sets the ceiling at about 44 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 163 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 73% (FPS gap: 119 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 58% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 59% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 61% | GPU Limits CPU 61% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 62% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 73% |
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 + RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 12% and 39% and GPU utilization between 72% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 82% at 1080p to 98% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 26% to 18%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU averages 99% usage (98-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 18% (12-25%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 26% and GPU 82%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 20% and GPU 91%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 18% and GPU 98%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 20% (12-29%) and GPU 90% (87-94%), which keeps RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU reaches 99% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU can run Final Fantasy XIV smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 81 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 7% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% 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.
For Final Fantasy XIV, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Final Fantasy XIV does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Final Fantasy XIV requires at minimum a Core i5-8400 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 140 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-9700 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Final Fantasy XIV 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.
