This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the EPYC 9475F sets the ceiling at about 95 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 186 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 49% (FPS gap: 91 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your EPYC 9475F 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) | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 20% | CPU Limits GPU 30% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 33% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 29% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 49% | CPU Limits GPU 46% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 39% |
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 9475F + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 11% and 70% and GPU utilization between 73% and 100%. EPYC 9475F stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 91% at 1080p to 92% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 53% to 53%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 95% usage (91-99%), while the EPYC 9475F stays at 28% (11-46%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 53% and GPU 91%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 42% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 53% and GPU 92%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 60% (58-62%) and GPU 88% (76-100%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while EPYC 9475F remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 95% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra while the EPYC 9475F 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.

Yes, the EPYC 9475F paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 92 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 527% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $9241 ($7592 CPU (Rank #402 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your EPYC 9475F 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 9995WX is a great upgrade option for around $11699 (Rank #418 for value).
Your EPYC 9475F 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, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 9475F 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.
