As the world's most popular MOBA, League of Legends runs on a proprietary engine that has been updated for over a decade. Recently, Riot increased the minimum requirements to include AVX instruction support and dropped support for older OSs and DirectX 9. While still lightweight, modern team fights with complex particle effects can strain older integrated graphics. The game scales well with single-thread CPU performance, meaning even modern entry-level processors can deliver high frame rates.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 450 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 393 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 278 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 1277% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 560) for League of Legends. The Ryzen AI 7 350 is 289% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3330).
At lower resolutions (1080p low), the Ryzen AI 7 350 determines the performance ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (high/ultra), 1440p (medium/high/ultra), all 4k settings), the GeForce RTX 4090 takes over as the primary performance factor. The system is well balanced at 1080p medium, 1440p low.
At 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 326 FPS, while the Ryzen AI 7 350 has headroom up to 393 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 17% (FPS gap: 67 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 9/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 2/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen AI 7 350 frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 11% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 10% | GPU Limits CPU 17% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 13% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 17% |
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 AI 7 350 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 8% and 40% and GPU utilization between 24% and 71%. Ryzen AI 7 350 keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 32% at 1080p to 68% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 24% to 20%.
The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 70% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen AI 7 350 peaks at 27% average, with no single component consistently acting as a hard bottleneck.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 24% and GPU 32%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 20% and GPU 42%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 20% and GPU 68%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Ultra is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 20% (12-27%) and GPU 70% (70-71%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen AI 7 350 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen AI 7 350 and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.

Yes, the Ryzen AI 7 350 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run League of Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 278 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 1277% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 289% 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.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 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 League of Legends performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low.
League of Legends 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.
League of Legends requires at minimum a Core i3-530 (CPU) and GeForce 9600 GT (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3330 and GeForce GTX 560 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen AI 7 350 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These League of Legends 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.
