Uses the stable Tiger engine. It has dropped support for older OSs and requires significant storage space. A decent CPU is needed for raids and activities with many enemies.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 217 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 177 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 116 FPS.
The Arc A770 is 38% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 207% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium)), the Ryzen 7 9800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p (medium/ultra), all 4k settings), the Arc A770 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (low/high).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $745.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 217 FPS, equivalent to 0.29 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k medium, the Arc A770 sets the ceiling at about 176 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 216 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 19% (FPS gap: 40 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 7/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 2/12.
Your Arc A770 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 6% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 19% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Arc A770 can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 116 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 38% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 207% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $745.38 ($465.38 CPU + $280 GPU). 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 TITAN Xp for around $1199 (Rank #121 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Destiny 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Arc A770 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium.
Destiny 2 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.
Destiny 2 requires at minimum a Core i3-3250 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 660 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 105 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-2400 and GeForce GTX 970 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Arc A770 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Destiny 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.
