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 M2 Pro 10-Core + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 36% and 93% and GPU utilization between 57% and 98%. M2 Pro 10-Core 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 66% at 1080p to 95% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 86% to 39%.
Load Interpretation
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 96% usage (95-98%), while the M2 Pro 10-Core stays at 38% (36-40%). 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 86% and GPU 66%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 50% and GPU 94%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 39% and GPU 95%. 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 50% (43-57%) and GPU 92% (89-94%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while M2 Pro 10-Core remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade Insight
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (M2 Pro 10-Core: 86% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 96% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
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
2Is there a more cost-effective setup to run Delta Force?
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
3Which component should I upgrade first to improve Delta Force performance?
This setup is already well-balanced for Delta Force. No significant bottleneck - CPU and GPU are well matched across all settings. Both the M2 Pro 10-Core and GeForce RTX 4090 complement each other effectively, so upgrading either component individually would yield diminishing returns. If you want more FPS, you'd benefit most from upgrading both CPU and GPU together.
4Does this setup support Frame Generation for Delta Force?
Delta Force 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 Delta Force?
Delta Force requires at minimum a Core i3-4150 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 50 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-6500 and GeForce GTX 1060 5GB with 16 GB RAM. Your M2 Pro 10-Core and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
6How accurate are these Delta Force FPS estimates for the M2 Pro 10-Core and GeForce RTX 4090?
These Delta Force 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.
