About The Data
Our 2026 FPS matrix compiles benchmark estimates across the most searched GPU and game combinations. We generated these estimates based on established GPU performance tiers, scaling factors for different resolutions, and game engine demands.
All estimates assume:
- "Ultra" or highest available preset graphics settings (without Ray Tracing unless mandatory).
- A capable, modern CPU (e.g., Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Core i7-14700K) to avoid bottlenecks at 1080p.
- No upscaling technologies like DLSS or FSR applied (native rendering).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What FPS does RTX 4070 get in Valorant?
At 1080p and 1440p, an RTX 4070 can easily hit the 500 FPS cap in Valorant, limited only by your CPU or the game engine itself. Even at 4K resolution, it averages well over 240 FPS, making it ideal for high refresh rate competitive gaming.
Is RTX 4060 good for 1440p gaming?
The RTX 4060 is primarily a 1080p card, but it handles 1440p decently in esports titles (e.g., 250+ FPS in CS2). In heavy AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Starfield, 1440p native rendering at Ultra settings will drop below 60 FPS, meaning you'll need to lower settings or use DLSS.
Which GPU is best for Cyberpunk 2077?
For 4K Ultra gameplay without relying heavily on upscaling, the RTX 4090 is still the only card that approaches 100 FPS comfortably. For a great 1440p experience, the RTX 4070 Ti or RX 7900 XTX offer excellent performance.
RTX 4070 vs RX 7800 XT which is faster?
In traditional rasterization, the RX 7800 XT generally offers slightly more raw FPS than the standard RTX 4070 in most games. However, Nvidia cards may pull ahead in titles heavily favoring their architecture or when ray tracing is enabled.
What GPU do I need for 144 FPS?
It depends heavily on the game. For esports like Fortnite or Apex Legends, a mid-range card like the RTX 4060 or RX 7600 can hit 144 FPS at 1080p. For AAA single-player games, achieving a stable 144 FPS at Ultra settings requires high-end hardware like an RTX 4080 or better, even at 1080p.
