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

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon Pro Vega 64 sets the ceiling at about 132 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 310 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 57% (FPS gap: 178 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon Pro Vega 64 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 29% | GPU Limits CPU 29% | GPU Limits CPU 32% | GPU Limits CPU 36% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 42% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 49% | GPU Limits CPU 56% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 53% | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 57% |
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 + Radeon Pro Vega 64 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 4% and 20% and GPU utilization between 75% and 95%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon Pro Vega 64 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 85% at 1080p to 85% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 12% to 11%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Medium, the Radeon Pro Vega 64 averages 90% usage (85-95%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 12% (6-19%). 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 12% and GPU 85%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 12% and GPU 88%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 11% and GPU 85%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 12% (6-17%) and GPU 88% (87-88%), which keeps Radeon Pro Vega 64 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon Pro Vega 64 remain reasonably matched for this title.
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 Radeon Pro Vega 64 can run League of Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 145 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 366% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 435% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $498 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $114 GPU (Rank #33 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 Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For League of Legends, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Pro Vega 64 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 high, 4k ultra.
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 7800X3D and Radeon Pro Vega 64 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.
