A dense RPG where Act 3 becomes a CPU stress test due to the high number of NPCs. An SSD is vital for loading times. 16GB of RAM is recommended, and the game benefits greatly from upscaling tech like DLSS and FSR.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 125 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 99 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 79 FPS.
The RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is 23% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Baldur's Gate 3. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 94% above the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K).
The RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU determines the performance ceiling at 1080p (medium/ultra), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, executing at maximum capacity. The system is well balanced at 1080p (low/high).
At 4k medium, the RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU sets the ceiling at about 76 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 138 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 45% (FPS gap: 62 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 10/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 2/12.
Your RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 10% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 25% | GPU Limits CPU 22% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 34% | GPU Limits CPU 45% | GPU Limits CPU 43% | GPU Limits CPU 40% |
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 + RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 38% and 82% and GPU utilization between 54% and 97%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 79% at 1080p to 82% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 53% to 69%.
This profile is GPU-bound. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU averages 96% usage (95-96%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 43% (38-48%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 53% and GPU 79%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 50% and GPU 84%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 69% and GPU 82%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
4K (Ultra HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 64% (45-82%) and GPU 88% (80-97%), which keeps RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU remain reasonably matched for this title.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU can run Baldur's Gate 3 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 79 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 23% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% 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 Baldur's Gate 3, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Baldur's Gate 3 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.
Baldur's Gate 3 requires at minimum a Core i5-4690 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 970 (GPU) with 8 GB RAM and 150 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7-8700K and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RTX 5000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Baldur's Gate 3 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.
