Bethesda's Creation Engine 2 is CPU-dependent, especially in cities, and requires an SSD for asset streaming. Optimization tends to favor AMD slightly, but generally requires powerful hardware to run smoothly.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 97 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 88 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 69 FPS.
The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is 44% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2080) for Starfield. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 120% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600K).
The RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (medium/high/ultra), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low.
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 high, the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile sets the ceiling at about 126 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 163 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 23% (FPS gap: 37 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 11/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile 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) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 17% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 23% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 23% |
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 CPU is 120% above and your GPU is 44% above the recommended specs. High/Ultra at 1080p. Lower settings for higher resolutions.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile can run Starfield smoothly up to 4k achieving around 69 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 44% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 120% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
Your RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Starfield performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Starfield 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.
Starfield requires at minimum a Core i7-6800K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 125 GB (SSD Obrigatório) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10600K and GeForce RTX 2080 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell Mobile both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Starfield 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.
