Performance Summary
The EPYC 9374F + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 36% and 97% and GPU utilization between 56% and 96%. EPYC 9374F reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 65% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 89% to 40%.
Load Interpretation
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 95% usage (94-96%), while the EPYC 9374F stays at 40% (36-43%). 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 89% and GPU 65%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 52% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 40% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
Optimal Settings Recommendation
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 52% (41-63%) and GPU 91% (89-93%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 9374F remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade Insight
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (EPYC 9374F: 90% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 95% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
