Uses the stable Tiger engine. It has dropped support for older OSs and requires significant storage space. A decent CPU is needed for raids and activities with many enemies.

Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 19 to 44 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 17 to 42 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 10 to 23 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 295% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) for Destiny 2. The Turion X2 RM-76 is 44% below minimum CPU requirement.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium), 1440p (low/medium)), the Turion X2 RM-76 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p high, 1440p high.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 14 FPS, while the Turion X2 RM-76 has headroom up to 44 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 68% (FPS gap: 30 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 6/12 cells, CPU limits 4/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Turion X2 RM-76 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 46% | CPU Limits GPU 29% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 25% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 36% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 45% | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 68% |
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 hardware is below minimum requirements. CPU is the limiting factor (44% below minimum). Expect performance issues. Low settings recommended.

The Turion X2 RM-76 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Destiny 2 at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 19 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
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 Destiny 2 performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1440p low, 1440p medium.
Destiny 2 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.
Destiny 2 requires at minimum a Core i3-3250 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 660 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 105 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-2400 and GeForce GTX 970 with 8 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These Destiny 2 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.
