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 300 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 272 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 173 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 167% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060) for Phasmophobia. The Xeon E-2378G is 20% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10600).
The GeForce RTX 4090 sets the FPS ceiling at all 4k settings, while the Xeon E-2378G still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 189 FPS, while the Xeon E-2378G has headroom up to 245 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 23% (FPS gap: 56 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 4/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 8/12.
The Xeon E-2378G and GeForce RTX 4090 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) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 19% |
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 20% above and your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs. High/Ultra at 1080p. Lower settings for higher resolutions.

Yes, the Xeon E-2378G paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Phasmophobia smoothly up to 4k achieving around 173 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 167% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 20% 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.
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 Xeon E-2378G 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.
