Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 227 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 163 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 93 FPS.
The TITAN RTX is 42% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Final Fantasy XIV. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 78% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-9700).
The TITAN RTX sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1669.3400000000001. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 227 FPS, equivalent to 0.14 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 1440p low, the TITAN RTX sets the ceiling at about 232 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 293 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 61 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your TITAN RTX 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 17% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 17% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
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 TITAN RTX can run Final Fantasy XIV smoothly up to 4k achieving around 93 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 42% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 78% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1669.3400000000001 ($465.38 CPU + $1203.96 GPU). Your TITAN RTX is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($1203.96) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti for around $799 (Rank #248 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Final Fantasy XIV, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The TITAN RTX 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.
Final Fantasy XIV 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.
Final Fantasy XIV requires at minimum a Core i5-8400 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 140 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-9700 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D and TITAN RTX both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Final Fantasy XIV 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.
