Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 5090 in Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Every figure below is a measurement aggregated from published review charts — the CPU's frame-rate ceiling and the GPU's frame-rate ceiling in this game, combined. Settings: Max preset, no ray tracing, upscaling off. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, highest settings (TechPowerUp CPU suite), RTX 5090.

1080p

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 220–220 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~220 fps on its own

GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~226 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 2.5% 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

Balanced pairing

Expected frame rate: 192–192 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~220 fps on its own

GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~192 fps on its own

The two measured ceilings sit within 12.8% 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.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 124–124 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3Dceiling ~220 fps on its own

GPU RTX 5090ceiling ~124 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 43.6%: 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.
