This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k low, the Radeon Pro Vega II sets the ceiling at about 65 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 182 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 64% (FPS gap: 117 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon Pro Vega II 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 43% | GPU Limits CPU 41% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 50% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 56% | GPU Limits CPU 61% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 60% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 63% |
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 II pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 8% and 89% and GPU utilization between 72% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while Radeon Pro Vega II carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 93% at 1080p to 93% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 72% to 26%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The Radeon Pro Vega II reaches 98% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 78% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 72% and GPU 93%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 40% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 26% and GPU 93%. 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 46% (40-53%) and GPU 78% (72-83%), which keeps Radeon Pro Vega II 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 II 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 II can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 71 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 11% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2184 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $1800 GPU (Rank #75 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 RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF Edition for around $1999 (Rank #50 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Path of Exile 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Pro Vega II 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.
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 Radeon Pro Vega II 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.
