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.

Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 250 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 204 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 140 FPS.
The Quadro RTX A6000 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 207% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-2400).
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, 4k low, while the Quadro RTX A6000 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 4k (medium/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $3965.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 250 FPS, equivalent to 0.06 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 1080p low, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D sets the ceiling at about 372 FPS, while the Quadro RTX A6000 could reach 491 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 24% (FPS gap: 119 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Quadro RTX A6000 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 21% | CPU Limits GPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 11% | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
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 Quadro RTX A6000 can run Destiny 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 140 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 207% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3965.38 ($465.38 CPU + $3500 GPU). Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #4 for value).
Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Destiny 2 performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low.
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 Quadro RTX A6000 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.
