Core i9-10900F

Modelled frame rate limit of 118 FPS. That is roughly the fastest this processor can feed a graphics card in a modern AAA title, no matter which card you fit.

Best match at each resolution

ResolutionClosest matched cardEstimated FPS
1080p Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB 118
1440p GeForce RTX 3090 Ti 118
4K GeForce RTX 4090 108

"Closest matched" means the two parts run out of headroom at about the same frame rate, so neither is obviously wasted. A faster card is still worth buying if you plan to raise the resolution later.

The cards it lands closest to

The 24 graphics cards whose frame rate limit sits nearest this processor's, fastest first. Anything faster than the top of this table is wasted on it at 1080p, and anything slower is a card it will never trouble. For any other combination, use the calculator.
