Ryzen 9 9950X + RTX 3050 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: 36–36 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~165 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3050ceiling ~36 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 78.2%: 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.

1440p

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 26–26 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~165 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3050ceiling ~26 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 84.3%: 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.

4K

Strong GPU limit

Expected frame rate: 12–12 fps (measured range across sources).

CPU Ryzen 9 9950Xceiling ~165 fps on its own

GPU RTX 3050ceiling ~12 fps on its own

The GPU side is lower by about 92.5%: 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.
