This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE sets the ceiling at about 105 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 171 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 39% (FPS gap: 66 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 7900 GRE 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 10% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 14% | GPU Limits CPU 25% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 34% | GPU Limits CPU 28% | GPU Limits CPU 39% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 25% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 35% |
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 53% above and your GPU is 92% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 7900 GRE can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 60 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 92% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $924 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $540 GPU (Rank #49 Value)). Your Radeon RX 7900 GRE provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #61 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your Radeon RX 7900 GRE is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Path of Exile 2 performance right now. GPU fully utilized 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! Path of Exile 2 supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX 7900 GRE 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.
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 RX 7900 GRE 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.
