This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the RTX A1000 sets the ceiling at about 52 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 348 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 85% (FPS gap: 296 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX A1000 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 68% | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 78% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 81% | GPU Limits CPU 83% | GPU Limits CPU 83% | GPU Limits CPU 85% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 79% | GPU Limits CPU 79% | GPU Limits CPU 81% |
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 A1000 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 15% and 57% and GPU utilization between 44% and 77%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while RTX A1000 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 57% at 1080p to 58% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 44% to 28%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The RTX A1000 reaches 68% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 46% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 44% and GPU 57%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 27% and GPU 57%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 28% and GPU 58%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 20% (16-23%) and GPU 68% (59-77%), which keeps RTX A1000 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX A1000 remain reasonably matched for this title.
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 A1000 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 77 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 24% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $884 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $500 GPU (Rank #52 Value)). 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 Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Phasmophobia, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX A1000 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.
Phasmophobia 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.
Phasmophobia requires at minimum a Core i5-4590 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 21 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10600 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 8 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Phasmophobia 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.
