1080p

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 225–225 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~253 fps on its own
GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~225 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 11.2% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other.

That range feeds a 165 Hz or faster monitor — this is high-refresh territory in this game.

Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.

1440p

Mild GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 186–186 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~253 fps on its own
GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~186 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 26.8%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range feeds a 165 Hz or faster monitor — this is high-refresh territory in this game.

Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 116–116 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~253 fps on its own
GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~116 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 54.0%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range justifies a 144 Hz monitor in this game.

Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.
