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 347 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 324 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 211 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is 172% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX is 126% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600).
No major FPS-ceiling mismatch detected. The GeForce RTX 5090 and Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across the tested resolutions and quality settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $3830. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 347 FPS, equivalent to 0.09 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 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 5090 sets the ceiling at about 204 FPS, while the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX has headroom up to 216 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 6% (FPS gap: 12 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 1/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 11/12. Confidence is low because both ceilings are very close in this cell.
The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX and GeForce RTX 5090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
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 Threadripper PRO 3955WX paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 211 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 172% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 126% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3830 ($1130 CPU + $2700 GPU). This is a well-balanced setup, meaning you're getting good value from both components without significant waste.
This setup is already well-balanced for Phasmophobia. No significant bottleneck - CPU and GPU are well matched across all settings. Both the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX and GeForce RTX 5090 complement each other effectively, so upgrading either component individually would yield diminishing returns. If you want more FPS, you'd benefit most from upgrading both CPU and GPU together.
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 Threadripper PRO 3955WX and GeForce RTX 5090 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.
