Percentages show how much potential FPS of the stronger component is lost because the other component has a lower FPS ceiling.
🧠Methodology

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.

Performance Summary

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary 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 RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary 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 26%.

Bottleneck Analysis

The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary reaches 98% 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.

Resolution Scaling

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.

Optimal Settings Recommendation

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 RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.

Upgrade Insight

Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary 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.

  • The Ideal Scenario (GPU Bottleneck): You typically want to see High GPU Utilization (90%+) and moderate CPU usage. This indicates your system is successfully pushing out graphics as fast as it can, without being held back by the CPU.
  • CPU Bottleneck: If you see High CPU Utilization (85%+) paired with lower GPU utilization, the CPU is struggling to compute game logic and prepare frames fast enough. The GPU sits waiting, often resulting in stuttering, inconsistent frame times, and lower overall FPS.
  • Engine Limits or Capped FPS: If both CPU and GPU utilization are relatively low, it means the hardware is waiting on something else. This could be a game engine limitation, poorly optimized code, or an artificial framerate cap like VSync holding performance back.
