1Can the Ryzen 5 3600 and GeForce RTX 4090 run Throne and Liberty well?
The Ryzen 5 3600 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Throne and Liberty at smooth framerates.
Built for massive sieges, this MMO creates a significant CPU bottleneck in large battles. 16GB of RAM is the minimum, setting a standard for next-gen MMOs.
Performance Report
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 183% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Throne and Liberty. The Ryzen 5 3600 is 9% below recommended, but 35% above minimum.
No major FPS-ceiling mismatch detected. The GeForce RTX 4090 and Ryzen 5 3600 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across the tested resolutions and quality settings.

The Ryzen 5 3600 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 25% and 90% and GPU utilization between 65% and 92%. Ryzen 5 3600 stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 83% at 1080p to 85% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 74% to 65%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 88% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 5 3600 peaks at 80% 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 74% and GPU 83%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 60% and GPU 84%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 65% and GPU 85%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 68% (51-84%) and GPU 88% (86-90%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 5 3600 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 5 3600 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.

The Ryzen 5 3600 and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Throne and Liberty at smooth framerates.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1729 ($80 CPU (Rank #12 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). This is a well-balanced setup, meaning you're getting good value from both components without significant waste.
This setup is already well-balanced for Throne and Liberty. No significant bottleneck - CPU and GPU are well matched across all settings. Both the Ryzen 5 3600 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.
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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
