Returning to compete with Battlefield, Delta Force uses a modern engine featuring environmental destruction. While minimum requirements are accessible (GTX 960), competitive settings scale up to require GTX 10/RTX 20 series GPUs and 16GB of RAM for the best experience.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Core i3-10100F sets the ceiling at about 178 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 336 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 47% (FPS gap: 158 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Core i3-10100F is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 42% | CPU Limits GPU 47% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 39% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 40% | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 35% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 42% | CPU Limits GPU 40% | CPU Limits GPU 37% |
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.

The Core i3-10100F + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 43% and 100% and GPU utilization between 56% and 95%. Core i3-10100F reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 65% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 93% to 47%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 95% usage (95-95%), while the Core i3-10100F stays at 44% (43-46%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 93% and GPU 65%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 63% and GPU 92%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 47% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 64% (54-75%) and GPU 90% (88-91%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i3-10100F remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Core i3-10100F: 94% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 95% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Core i3-10100F paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Delta Force smoothly up to 4k achieving around 64 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 315% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 4% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1699 ($50 CPU (Rank #33 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the CPU. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Delta Force, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Core i3-10100F is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-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.
Delta Force 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.
Delta Force requires at minimum a Core i3-4150 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-6500 and GeForce GTX 1060 5GB with 16 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Delta Force 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.
