This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p high, the Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX sets the ceiling at about 277 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 322 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 14% (FPS gap: 45 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 11/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 1/12.
The Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 8% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 12% | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 111 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 42% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2949 ($1300 CPU (Rank #391 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($1300) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
For Marvel Rivals, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Yes! Marvel Rivals supports DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen and AFMF, and your GeForce RTX 4090 is compatible with DLSS Frame Gen and FSR 3 Frame Gen. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 2x-3x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
Marvel Rivals requires at minimum a Core i5-6600K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1060 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 70 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10400 and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen Threadripper 2970WX and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Marvel Rivals 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.
