A massive evolution with physically based rendering and fluid animations. The high density of effects creates a heavy load on both CPU and GPU. It scales well up to 16 threads.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 85 FPS. At 1440p, frame rates range from 55 to 122 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 24 to 52 FPS.
The Radeon RX 5600 OEM is 13% below recommended, but 55% above minimum for Path of Exile 2. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 53% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-10500).
The Radeon RX 5600 OEM determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, executing at maximum capacity.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 5600 OEM sets the ceiling at about 28 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 100 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 72% (FPS gap: 72 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 5600 OEM 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 45% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 61% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 63% | GPU Limits CPU 70% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 61% | GPU Limits CPU 72% |
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 RX 5600 OEM pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 10% and 89% and GPU utilization between 73% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while Radeon RX 5600 OEM becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 93% at 1080p to 93% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 72% to 27%.
The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The Radeon RX 5600 OEM reaches 99% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 78% average, with no single component consistently acting as a hard bottleneck.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 72% and GPU 93%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 41% and GPU 93%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 27% 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 47% (42-52%) and GPU 78% (73-82%), which keeps Radeon RX 5600 OEM 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 RX 5600 OEM remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.
Data generated by our Machine Learning engine trained on real-world benchmarks. Shows the approximate average utilization at each setting.
See how your processor and graphics card compare against the game official minimum and recommended system specs. The placement of your hardware is calculated using relative synthetic performance scores to help you gauge overall playability.
Your CPU is 53% below recommended and your GPU is 13% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 5600 OEM can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 1080p achieving around 85 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 13% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Path of Exile 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 5600 OEM 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
