This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the EPYC 4585PX sets the ceiling at about 161 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 186 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 13% (FPS gap: 25 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.
The EPYC 4585PX and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | Balanced | Balanced |
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.

The EPYC 4585PX + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 28% and 83% and GPU utilization between 68% and 94%. EPYC 4585PX stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 79% at 1080p to 81% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 57% to 64%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 84% average at its highest-load preset, while the EPYC 4585PX peaks at 68% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 57% and GPU 79%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 52% and GPU 81%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 64% and GPU 81%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 60% (55-66%) and GPU 84% (74-93%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 4585PX remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the EPYC 4585PX and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the EPYC 4585PX paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 4k achieving around 88 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 261% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2475 ($826 CPU (Rank #66 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 4585PX 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 Threadripper PRO 9975WX is a great upgrade option for around $4099 (Rank #329 for value).
Your EPYC 4585PX 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k low, 4k medium.
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 EPYC 4585PX 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.
