Built for massive sieges, this MMO creates a significant CPU bottleneck in large battles. 16GB of RAM is the minimum, setting a standard for next-gen MMOs.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 36 to 86 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 31 to 71 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 14 to 32 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6500 XT is 29% below recommended, but 57% above minimum for Throne and Liberty. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 76% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
Throne and Liberty supports: AFMF. The Radeon RX 6500 XT can use AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
The Radeon RX 6500 XT sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $534. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 36 FPS, equivalent to 0.07 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the Radeon RX 6500 XT sets the ceiling at about 16 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 123 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 87% (FPS gap: 107 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 6500 XT 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 69% | GPU Limits CPU 71% | GPU Limits CPU 77% | GPU Limits CPU 79% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 70% | GPU Limits CPU 73% | GPU Limits CPU 78% | GPU Limits CPU 79% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 82% | GPU Limits CPU 83% | GPU Limits CPU 87% | GPU Limits CPU 86% |
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.
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 76% below recommended and your GPU is 29% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 6500 XT will struggle to run Throne and Liberty at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 36 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $534 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $150 GPU (Rank #15 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 GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Throne and Liberty, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6500 XT 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Throne and Liberty supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX 6500 XT is compatible with AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
Throne and Liberty requires at minimum a Core i5-7700 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 960 (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 63 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-11600K and GeForce GTX 1660 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 Throne and Liberty 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.
