VR support requires stronger hardware. The game also uses the CPU for voice recognition processing, adding a unique load.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 257 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 226 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 146 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 167% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Ryzen 9 270 is 67% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600).
At lower resolutions (1080p (medium/high/ultra)), the Ryzen 9 270 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low, all 1440p settings.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 176 FPS, while the Ryzen 9 270 has headroom up to 232 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 24% (FPS gap: 56 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 4/12 cells, CPU limits 5/12, balanced 3/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 9 270 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 6% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% |
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, 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 67% above and your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 9 270 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 146 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 67% 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 GeForce RTX 4090 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 Phasmophobia performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p 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 Ryzen 9 270 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
