Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 135 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 114 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 80 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 183% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Throne and Liberty. The Core Ultra 5 245KF is 122% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
Throne and Liberty supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4090.
The Core Ultra 5 245KF sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p (high/ultra), 4k (medium/high/ultra), while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p (low/medium), 4k low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1838. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 135 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Core Ultra 5 245KF sets the ceiling at about 135 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 161 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 16% (FPS gap: 26 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Core Ultra 5 245KF 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 8% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 16% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 11% |
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 CPU is 122% above and your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Core Ultra 5 245KF paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 4k achieving around 80 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 122% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1838 ($189 CPU (Rank #10 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Core Ultra 5 245KF 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
Your Core Ultra 5 245KF is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Throne and Liberty performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Throne and Liberty currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling and XeSS, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
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 Ultra 5 245KF and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
