A massive evolution with physically based rendering and fluid animations. The high density of effects creates a heavy load on both CPU and GPU. It scales well up to 16 threads.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 82 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 44 to 106 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 15 to 35 FPS.
The RTX A500 Embedded GPU is 22% below minimum GPU requirement for Path of Exile 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10500).
The RTX A500 Embedded GPU sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the RTX A500 Embedded GPU sets the ceiling at about 18 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 100 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 82% (FPS gap: 82 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX A500 Embedded GPU is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 42% | GPU Limits CPU 42% | GPU Limits CPU 60% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 62% | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 76% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 75% | GPU Limits CPU 72% | GPU Limits CPU 82% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your hardware is below minimum requirements. GPU is the limiting factor (22% below minimum). Expect performance issues. Low settings recommended.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX A500 Embedded GPU can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 82 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 56% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Path of Exile 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX A500 Embedded GPU is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Path of Exile 2 does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Path of Exile 2 requires at minimum a Core i7-7700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 100 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10500 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
These Path of Exile 2 FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
