Rocket League is known for its technical stability. Running on Unreal Engine 3, it is extremely lightweight with physics calculated at a fixed rate for consistency. It is so well optimized that modern integrated graphics can run it competitively at low settings without issue.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 280 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 266 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 134 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4060 is 310% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 660) for Rocket League. The Core i5-13400F is 1050% above the recommended CPU (Quad Core 2.5 GHz).
At lower resolutions (1080p low), the Core i5-13400F sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4060 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p medium, 1440p low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $639.6600000000001. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 280 FPS, equivalent to 0.44 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k high, the GeForce RTX 4060 sets the ceiling at about 228 FPS, while the Core i5-13400F has headroom up to 345 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 34% (FPS gap: 117 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Core i5-13400F frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 16% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 32% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 25% | GPU Limits CPU 34% | GPU Limits CPU 34% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Core i5-13400F paired with the GeForce RTX 4060 can run Rocket League smoothly up to 4k achieving around 134 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 310% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 1050% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $639.6600000000001 ($180 CPU + $459.66 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the Radeon RX 6900 XT for around $999 (Rank #190 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Rocket League, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting factor here, while the Core i5-13400F still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low.
Rocket League 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.
Rocket League requires at minimum a Dual Core 2.4 GHz (CPU) and GeForce GTX 260 (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 20 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Quad Core 2.5 GHz and GeForce GTX 660 with 4 GB RAM. Your Core i5-13400F and GeForce RTX 4060 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Rocket League 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.
