The Java version is inefficient and single-thread bound, often bottlenecking on the CPU unless you use performance mods. The Bedrock edition is optimized in C++ and runs much better. For Java, the CPU is king.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 205 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 173 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 118 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 1907% above the recommended GPU (GeForce 700 Series) for Minecraft. The EPYC 9374F is 1369% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4690).
At lower resolutions (all 4k settings), the EPYC 9374F determines the performance ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1080p settings, 1440p (medium/high)), the GeForce RTX 4090 takes over as the primary performance factor. The system is well balanced at 1440p (low/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $5115. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 205 FPS, equivalent to 0.04 FPS per dollar.

At 4k ultra, the EPYC 9374F sets the ceiling at about 99 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 138 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 28% (FPS gap: 39 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 4/12 cells, GPU limits 6/12, balanced 2/12.
Your EPYC 9374F 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 10% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 17% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 28% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The EPYC 9374F + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 18% and 39% and GPU utilization between 27% and 100%. EPYC 9374F keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 65% at 1080p to 65% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 29% to 28%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1080p (Full HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 90% usage (81-100%), while the EPYC 9374F stays at 33% (27-39%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 29% and GPU 65%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 29% and GPU 65%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 28% and GPU 65%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 30% (25-35%) and GPU 89% (79-99%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 9374F remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the EPYC 9374F and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.

Yes, the EPYC 9374F paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Minecraft smoothly up to 4k achieving around 118 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 1907% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 1369% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $5115 ($3466 CPU (Rank #392 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 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 card with a significantly better value rating.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Minecraft performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high. CPU fully utilized at: 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Minecraft 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.
Minecraft requires at minimum a Core i3-3210 (CPU) and GeForce 400 Series (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 1 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-4690 and GeForce 700 Series with 4 GB RAM. Your EPYC 9374F and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Minecraft 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.
