Ryzen 7 9850X3D + RTX 3090 Ti 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: 134–134 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9850X3Dceiling ~222 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3090 Ticeiling ~134 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 39.6%: 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.

1440p

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 99–99 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9850X3Dceiling ~222 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3090 Ticeiling ~99 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 55.2%: 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: 58–58 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 7 9850X3Dceiling ~222 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3090 Ticeiling ~58 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 74.0%: 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.

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
