Ryzen 7 9850X3D + RTX 3080 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

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 106–106 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9850X3Dceiling ~222 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3080ceiling ~106 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 52.1%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.

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

1440p

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 77–77 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9850X3Dceiling ~222 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3080ceiling ~77 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 65.1%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.

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

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 44–44 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9850X3Dceiling ~222 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3080ceiling ~44 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 80.1%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.

That range sits under a smooth 60 in this game at the tested preset — expect to trade settings for frame rate.

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

No GPU measured in this game at 1440p fully clears this CPU - the strongest measured option:

RTX 5090 — ceiling ~192 fps (still the limiting side, but the highest measured ceiling) · full result
