This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the GeForce RTX 3060 sets the ceiling at about 35 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 5600X has headroom up to 55 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 36% (FPS gap: 20 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your GeForce RTX 3060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 5 5600X frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 11% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 23% | GPU Limits CPU 18% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 28% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 33% |
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 Ryzen 5 5600X + GeForce RTX 3060 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 14% and 83% and GPU utilization between 62% and 100%. Ryzen 5 5600X stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 3060 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 91% at 1080p to 90% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 63% to 53%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Medium, the GeForce RTX 3060 averages 97% usage (95-99%), while the Ryzen 5 5600X stays at 52% (35-70%). 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 63% and GPU 91%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 49% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 53% and GPU 90%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 48% (30-65%) and GPU 94% (90-99%), which keeps GeForce RTX 3060 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 5 5600X remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 3060 reaches 97% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Medium while the Ryzen 5 5600X 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.

The Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3060 will struggle to run Throne and Liberty at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 41 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $424 ($135 CPU (Rank #39 Value) + $289 GPU (Rank #30 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Throne and Liberty, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 3060 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 5 5600X still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p high, 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 Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3060 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.
