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 ultra, the Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS sets the ceiling at about 101 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 292 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 65% (FPS gap: 191 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS 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 41% | GPU Limits CPU 45% | GPU Limits CPU 52% | GPU Limits CPU 57% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 49% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 65% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 65% |
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.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your hardware is below minimum requirements. GPU is the limiting factor (38% below minimum). Expect performance issues. Low settings recommended.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 99 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 58% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 126% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1065.38 ($465.38 CPU + $600 GPU). Your Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($600) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the Radeon RX 580 (móvel) for around $229 (Rank #323 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Phasmophobia, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Ryzen 7 6800HS 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.
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor 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.
