A dense RPG where Act 3 becomes a CPU stress test due to the high number of NPCs. An SSD is vital for loading times. 16GB of RAM is recommended, and the game benefits greatly from upscaling tech like DLSS and FSR.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 136 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 115 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 87 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 93% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Baldur's Gate 3. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 94% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K).
Baldur's Gate 3 supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
At lower resolutions (1080p (high/ultra)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1440p settings, all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1184. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 136 FPS, equivalent to 0.11 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER sets the ceiling at about 80 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 135 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 41% (FPS gap: 55 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 2/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 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) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 9% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 22% | GPU Limits CPU 26% | GPU Limits CPU 18% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 41% | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 34% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER can run Baldur's Gate 3 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 93% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1184 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $800 GPU (Rank #63 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5090 for around $1999 (Rank #80 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Baldur's Gate 3 performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra.
Baldur's Gate 3 currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
Baldur's Gate 3 requires at minimum a Core i5-4690 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 150 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-8700K and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Baldur's Gate 3 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.
