Performance Limiter Analysis

EPYC 7303P|GeForce RTX 4090

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.

📈Analysis

At 4k ultra, the EPYC 7303P sets the ceiling at about 92 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 116 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 21% (FPS gap: 24 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 4/12.

Verdict

CPU Limits GPU

Your EPYC 7303P is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.

Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

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.

Performance Summary

The EPYC 7303P + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 24% and 61% and GPU utilization between 87% and 100%. EPYC 7303P keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 92% at 1080p to 96% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 52% to 36%.

Load Interpretation

From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Low, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 97% usage (94-100%), while the EPYC 7303P stays at 49% (39-59%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.

Resolution Scaling

At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 52% and GPU 92%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 49% and GPU 96%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 36% and GPU 96%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.

Optimal Settings Recommendation

1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 51% (42-60%) and GPU 92% (88-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 7303P remains stable for consistent frame delivery.

Upgrade Insight

Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 97% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Low while the EPYC 7303P still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.

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.

  • High GPU Load: You typically want to see High GPU Utilization (90%+) and moderate CPU usage when visual settings are heavy. This indicates the graphics pipeline is under strong load, but the exact FPS limiter should still be confirmed by the FPS ceiling analysis.
  • High CPU Load: If you see High CPU Utilization (85%+) paired with lower GPU utilization, the processor is handling a disproportionate share of frame preparation and game logic. That can point to CPU-side pressure, but it should not be treated as a direct replacement for FPS ceiling analysis.
  • Low CPU and GPU Load: If both CPU and GPU utilization are relatively low, it means the hardware is waiting on something else. This could be a game engine limitation, poorly optimized code, or an artificial framerate cap like VSync holding performance back. It does not mean both parts are equally fast in FPS terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

1Can the EPYC 7303P and GeForce RTX 4090 run Marvel Rivals well?

Yes, the EPYC 7303P paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 92 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 67% above the recommended requirements.

2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Marvel Rivals?

This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2243 ($594 CPU (Rank #153 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 7303P 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 Xeon Platinum 8571N is a great upgrade option for around $599 (Rank #60 for value).

3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Marvel Rivals performance?

Your EPYC 7303P 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: 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.

4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Marvel Rivals?

Marvel Rivals 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.

5What are the minimum and recommended specs for Marvel Rivals?

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 EPYC 7303P and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.

6How accurate are these Marvel Rivals FPS estimates for the EPYC 7303P and GeForce RTX 4090?

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.
