This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 172 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 could reach 188 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 9% (FPS gap: 16 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 2/12 cells, GPU limits 1/12, balanced 9/12.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 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) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 6% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | 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 7 7800X3D + GeForce RTX 5090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 27% and 64% and GPU utilization between 73% and 99%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 5090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 81% at 1080p to 94% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 55% to 38%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Low, the GeForce RTX 5090 averages 95% usage (91-99%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 54% (45-62%). 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 55% and GPU 81%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 54% and GPU 95%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 38% and GPU 94%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 38% (27-49%) and GPU 94% (91-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 5090 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 5090 reaches 95% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Low while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D 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 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 121 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 57% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3084 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $2700 GPU (Rank #80 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 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 5090 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: 4k low, 4k medium.
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 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 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.
