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 412 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 289 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 169 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4060 is 606% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 560) for League of Legends. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is 342% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3330).
At lower resolutions (1440p low), the Ryzen 7 5800X3D determines the performance ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (medium/high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), 4k (medium/high/ultra)), the GeForce RTX 4060 takes over as the primary performance factor. The system is well balanced at 1080p low, 4k low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $728. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 412 FPS, equivalent to 0.57 FPS per dollar.

At 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 4060 sets the ceiling at about 265 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has headroom up to 384 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 31% (FPS gap: 119 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 5800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 24% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 20% | GPU Limits CPU 31% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 17% | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 17% |
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.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D + GeForce RTX 4060 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 11% and 43% and GPU utilization between 24% and 92%. Ryzen 7 5800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4060 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 38% at 1080p to 74% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 28% to 25%.
The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The GeForce RTX 4060 reaches 78% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D peaks at 31% average, with no single component consistently acting as a hard bottleneck.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 28% and GPU 38%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 25% and GPU 51%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 25% and GPU 74%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 25% (16-34%) and GPU 78% (63-92%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4060 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 5800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 4060 remain reasonably matched for this title.

This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $728 ($429 CPU (Rank #295 Value) + $299 GPU (Rank #12 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 3070 Ti for around $599 (Rank #37 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For League of Legends, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 4060 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 5800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1440p low.
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 7 5800X3D and GeForce RTX 4060 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.
