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, all quality settings exceed 75 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 60 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 40 to 87 FPS.
The Radeon RX 780 is 43% below recommended, but 25% above minimum for Throne and Liberty. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is 105% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
The Radeon RX 780 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1186.38. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 75 FPS, equivalent to 0.06 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 4k ultra, the Radeon RX 780 sets the ceiling at about 45 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has headroom up to 123 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 63% (FPS gap: 78 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Radeon RX 780 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 47% | GPU Limits CPU 52% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 45% | GPU Limits CPU 48% | GPU Limits CPU 56% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 53% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 63% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, 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 105% below recommended and your GPU is 43% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 780 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 60 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 43% below the recommended specs, and your CPU is 105% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1186.38 ($465.38 CPU + $721 GPU). Your Radeon RX 780 is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($721) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the Radeon RX 7700 for around $449 (Rank #373 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Throne and Liberty, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 780 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 9800X3D 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.
Throne and Liberty 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.
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.
