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 Ryzen 7 6800H pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 10% and 85% and GPU utilization between 98% and 100%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 99% at 1080p to 100% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 66% to 23%.
The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H reaches 100% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 71% average, with no single component consistently acting as a hard bottleneck.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 66% and GPU 99%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 38% and GPU 100%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 23% and GPU 100%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 71% (57-85%) and GPU 99% (98-100%), which keeps Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H 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 Ryzen 7 6800H 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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H can run Path of Exile 2 smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 82 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 66% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 53% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $584 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $200 GPU (Rank #76 Value)). 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 GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Path of Exile 2, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon Ryzen 7 6800H 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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor 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.
