This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
📈Analysis
No limiter data is currently available for Phasmophobia.
✅Verdict
Well Balanced
The Xeon E7340 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.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Phasmophobia?
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1781 ($132 CPU + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). This is a well-balanced setup, meaning you're getting good value from both components without significant waste.
3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Phasmophobia performance?
This setup is already well-balanced for Phasmophobia. No significant bottleneck - CPU and GPU are well matched across all settings. Both the Xeon E7340 and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Phasmophobia?
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.
5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Phasmophobia?
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
6How accurate are these Phasmophobia FPS estimates for the Xeon E7340 and GeForce RTX 4090?
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.
