A competitor to Overwatch featuring environmental destruction, which makes it CPU heavy. DX12 and 12GB of RAM are the minimum requirements.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 233 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 179 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 98 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 131% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Marvel Rivals. The M2 Pro is 0% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10400).
The M2 Pro sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (medium/high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), 4k (high/ultra), while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low, 1440p low, 4k (low/medium).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the M2 Pro sets the ceiling at about 176 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 215 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 18% (FPS gap: 39 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your M2 Pro 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) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 12% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 18% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 16% |
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 M2 Pro + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 79% and 92% and GPU utilization between 77% and 83%. M2 Pro reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 80% at 1080p to 80% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 88% to 86%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 80% average at its highest-load preset, while the M2 Pro peaks at 89% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 88% and GPU 80%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 87% and GPU 80%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 86% and GPU 80%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 85% (79-91%) and GPU 80% (78-83%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while M2 Pro remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the M2 Pro and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
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 M2 Pro paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 98 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 0% below the recommended requirements.
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.
For Marvel Rivals, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The M2 Pro is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Marvel Rivals 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.
Marvel Rivals requires at minimum a Core i5-6600K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1060 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 70 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10400 and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your M2 Pro and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Marvel Rivals 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.
