Performance Summary
The Core i3-10320 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 24% and 100% and GPU utilization between 77% and 100%. Core i3-10320 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 87% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 74% to 55%.
Load Interpretation
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 98% usage (96-100%), while the Core i3-10320 stays at 56% (43-69%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
Resolution Scaling
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 74% and GPU 87%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 66% and GPU 95%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 55% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
Optimal Settings Recommendation
1080p (Full HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 60% (41-80%) and GPU 88% (79-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Core i3-10320 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade Insight
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Core i3-10320: 93% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 98% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
