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

At 1440p ultra, the Radeon Pro WX 4150 sets the ceiling at about 45 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 450 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 90% (FPS gap: 405 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon Pro WX 4150 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 83% | GPU Limits CPU 84% | GPU Limits CPU 84% | GPU Limits CPU 87% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 88% | GPU Limits CPU 90% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% | GPU Limits CPU 90% |
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 + Radeon Pro WX 4150 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 5% and 19% and GPU utilization between 75% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Radeon Pro WX 4150 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 95% at 1080p to 93% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 12% to 12%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the Radeon Pro WX 4150 averages 100% usage (100-100%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 12% (6-19%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 12% and GPU 95%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 12% and GPU 97%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 12% and GPU 93%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 12% (6-17%) and GPU 88% (81-94%), which keeps Radeon Pro WX 4150 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The Radeon Pro WX 4150 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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon Pro WX 4150 will struggle to run League of Legends at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 59 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $504 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $120 GPU). 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 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU (Rank #6 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For League of Legends, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Pro WX 4150 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
