This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p high, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 263 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has headroom up to 294 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 11% (FPS gap: 31 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 3/12 cells, CPU limits 5/12, balanced 4/12.
The Ryzen 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 9% |
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 7 5800X3D + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 27% and 61% and GPU utilization between 86% and 98%. Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 90% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 51% to 36%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Low, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 96% usage (93-98%), while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D stays at 51% (42-60%). 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 51% and GPU 90%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 50% and GPU 96%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 36% and GPU 94%. 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 53% (45-61%) and GPU 88% (86-91%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 96% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Low while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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 7 5800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 105 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 30% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2078 ($429 CPU (Rank #295 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Marvel Rivals, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p medium, 1440p high.
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 Ryzen 7 5800X3D 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.
