Runs on the incredibly optimized Evolution Engine. It can be heavy in open-world areas and CPU-limited in horde modes with many enemies, but generally runs well on a wide range of hardware.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors

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 1440p medium, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER sets the ceiling at about 307 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 676 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 55% (FPS gap: 369 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 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) | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 41% | GPU Limits CPU 41% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 55% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 55% |
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 GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER can run Warframe smoothly up to 4k achieving around 145 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 261% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 417% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $640.38 ($465.38 CPU + $175 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 Radeon RX 6900 XT for around $999 (Rank #190 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Warframe, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 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: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Warframe 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.
Warframe requires at minimum a Core i7-860 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 650 (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-4460 and GeForce GTX 1050 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D and GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Warframe 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.
