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 146 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 116 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 91 FPS.
The RTX PRO 6000 is 160% 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).
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/high/ultra)), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (all 1440p settings, all 4k settings), the RTX PRO 6000 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p medium.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $8949. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 146 FPS, equivalent to 0.02 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the RTX PRO 6000 sets the ceiling at about 85 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 137 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 38% (FPS gap: 52 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 8/12 cells, CPU limits 3/12, balanced 1/12.
Your RTX PRO 6000 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) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 12% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 22% | GPU Limits CPU 26% | GPU Limits CPU 19% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 31% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RTX PRO 6000 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 30% and 82% and GPU utilization between 54% and 97%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays in a controlled operating range, while RTX PRO 6000 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 80% at 1080p to 84% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 49% to 66%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the RTX PRO 6000 averages 96% usage (95-96%), while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D stays at 39% (30-48%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 49% and GPU 80%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 46% and GPU 85%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 66% and GPU 84%. 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 61% (40-82%) and GPU 88% (80-97%), which keeps RTX PRO 6000 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 PRO 6000 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX PRO 6000 can run Baldur's Gate 3 smoothly up to 4k achieving around 91 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 160% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 94% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $8949 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $8565 GPU (Rank #91 Value)). Your RTX PRO 6000 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.
Your RTX PRO 6000 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 Baldur's Gate 3 performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low, 1080p high, 1080p 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 PRO 6000 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.
