Built for massive sieges, this MMO creates a significant CPU bottleneck in large battles. 16GB of RAM is the minimum, setting a standard for next-gen MMOs.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 87 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 81 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 56 to 118 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4080 is 156% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Throne and Liberty. The Core i7-13700K is 135% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
The GeForce RTX 4080 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Core i7-13700K still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1200. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 87 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 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 4080 sets the ceiling at about 84 FPS, while the Core i7-13700K has headroom up to 115 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 27% (FPS gap: 31 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4080 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Core i7-13700K frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 24% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 24% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 27% |
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.
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 CPU is 135% above and your GPU is 156% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Core i7-13700K paired with the GeForce RTX 4080 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 81 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 156% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 135% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1200 ($400 CPU + $800 GPU). Your GeForce RTX 4080 provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5090 D for around $1999 (Rank #374 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 4080 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Throne and Liberty performance right now. GPU fully utilized 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.
Throne and Liberty 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.
Throne and Liberty requires at minimum a Core i5-7700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 63 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-11600K and GeForce GTX 1660 with 16 GB RAM. Your Core i7-13700K and GeForce RTX 4080 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Throne and Liberty 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.
