Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 282 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 219 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 102 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 131% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Marvel Rivals. The Core Ultra 7 265 is 127% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10400).
Marvel Rivals supports: DLSS Frame Gen, FSR 3 Frame Gen, AFMF. The GeForce RTX 4090 can use DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen, providing up to 2x-3x frame rate boost.
At lower resolutions (all 4k settings), the Core Ultra 7 265 sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (low/ultra)), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (medium/high), all 1440p settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1969. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 282 FPS, equivalent to 0.14 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the Core Ultra 7 265 sets the ceiling at about 144 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 169 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 15% (FPS gap: 25 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 2/12, balanced 6/12.
Your Core Ultra 7 265 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) | GPU Limits CPU 7% | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 15% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | 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.

Yes, the Core Ultra 7 265 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 102 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 127% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1969 ($320 CPU (Rank #54 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Core Ultra 7 265 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 7 265 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 Marvel Rivals performance right now. CPU fully utilized at: 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p ultra.
Yes! Marvel Rivals supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
Marvel Rivals requires at minimum a Core i5-6600K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1060 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 70 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10400 and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Core Ultra 7 265 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Marvel Rivals 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.
