As the world's most popular MOBA, League of Legends runs on a proprietary engine that has been updated for over a decade. Recently, Riot increased the minimum requirements to include AVX instruction support and dropped support for older OSs and DirectX 9. While still lightweight, modern team fights with complex particle effects can strain older integrated graphics. The game scales well with single-thread CPU performance, meaning even modern entry-level processors can deliver high frame rates.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 327 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 264 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 204 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 1277% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 560) for League of Legends. The Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H is 182% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3330).
The Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k (low/medium), while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1440p ultra, 4k (high/ultra).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H sets the ceiling at about 451 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 661 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 32% (FPS gap: 210 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
Your Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H 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) | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 16% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | Balanced |
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 PRO 6650H + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 24% and 66% and GPU utilization between 71% and 100%. Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 93% at 1080p to 95% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 43% to 43%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 100% usage (99-100%), while the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H stays at 41% (24-58%). 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 43% and GPU 93%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 43% and GPU 94%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 43% and GPU 95%. 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 46% (28-65%) and GPU 81% (73-89%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 100% average load at 4K (Ultra HD) Ultra while the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H 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.

Yes, the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run League of Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 204 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 1277% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 182% above 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 League of Legends, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 4k low, 4k medium.
League of Legends 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.
League of Legends requires at minimum a Core i3-530 (CPU) and GeForce 9600 GT (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3330 and GeForce GTX 560 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 5 PRO 6650H and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These League of Legends 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.
