Naraka: Bladepoint
Unlike shooters, Naraka focuses on melee combat with fluid animations. The game is visually dense and supports DLSS, which is vital for high frame rates at resolutions above 1080p. An SSD is critical for map loading, and 16GB of RAM is recommended for smooth gameplay.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors

This chart answers a simple question: which upgrade is more likely to increase FPS first? In this case, the answer is clearly the CPU.
The largest gap appears at 1080p Low, where the EPYC 9554 reaches about 301 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom up to roughly 423 FPS.
That means the EPYC 9554 is hitting its performance ceiling first, leaving a 29% gap versus the GeForce RTX 4090's available headroom in the most unbalanced scenario. Across all tested settings, this pairing is CPU-limited in 12 out of 12 cases, with 0 GPU-limited and 0 balanced results.
Overall, this is a clearly CPU-bound combination in this game.
The EPYC 9554 is consistently the limiting part in this game, so upgrading the CPU is more likely to deliver a larger FPS gain than upgrading the GPU.
This chart shows which upgrade is more likely to unlock more FPS in each tested setting. The lower line represents the part that reaches its limit first. When the CPU and GPU lines stay close together, the system is more balanced. When the gap widens, one component is more clearly holding the other back. Hover any setting to inspect it.
The lower line is the current limiter. The closer the two lines are, the more balanced the CPU and GPU are for this game.
Each line represents an estimated FPS ceiling for one component, rather than live usage alone.
To estimate the CPU ceiling, we pair the EPYC 9554 with GeForce RTX 5090, our current GPU anchor. To estimate the GPU ceiling, we pair the GeForce RTX 4090 with Ryzen 9 9950X3D, our current CPU anchor.
The lower line indicates the current limiter, since that component reaches its FPS ceiling first. In most scenarios, that is also the part most likely to deliver the bigger performance uplift if upgraded first.
The percentage shown represents the gap between the two ceilings. In practical terms, it shows how much of the stronger component's potential is left unused because the weaker one becomes the bottleneck first.

Yes, the EPYC 9554 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Naraka: Bladepoint smoothly up to 4k achieving around 97 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 694% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $4,444 ($2,795 CPU + $1,649 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the EPYC 9655P is a great upgrade option for around $10,811 (Rank #409 for value).
For Naraka: Bladepoint, upgrading the CPU would usually improve performance first. In the Performance Limiter Analysis, the EPYC 9554 is the side that most often caps the frame rate, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has additional headroom in the tested presets. If you want to move closer to the current market ceiling, a stronger processor like Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX for around $11,699 would be the clearest next step. The main bottleneck appears on the CPU side. The largest gap shows up at 1080p Low, where the CPU reaches about 301 FPS while the GPU still has headroom up to roughly 423 FPS. Across all tested settings, the distribution is 0/12 GPU-limited, 12/12 CPU-limited, and 0/12 balanced.
Naraka: Bladepoint 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.
Naraka: Bladepoint requires at minimum a Core i5-4460 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 750 Ti (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 20 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-7700 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 16 GB RAM. Your EPYC 9554 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Naraka: Bladepoint 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.
