At 1440p low, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB sets the ceiling at about 189 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 284 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 33% (FPS gap: 95 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 11/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 15% | GPU Limits CPU 21% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 33% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
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 7800X3D + GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 12% and 67% and GPU utilization between 73% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 93% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 54% to 25%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB averages 100% usage (99-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 34% (21-47%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 54% and GPU 93%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 39% and GPU 94%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 25% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 44% (39-49%) and GPU 78% (73-82%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB reaches 100% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 78 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 61% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $833 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $449 GPU (Rank #48 Value)). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti for around $799 (Rank #42 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Path of Exile 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Path of Exile 2 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.
Path of Exile 2 requires at minimum a Core i7-7700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 100 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10500 and GeForce RTX 2060 with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Path of Exile 2 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.
