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 166 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 144 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 101 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 183% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Throne and Liberty. The Ryzen Threadripper 9980X is 628% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
Throne and Liberty supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4090.
The GeForce RTX 4090 sets the FPS ceiling at all 1440p settings, 4k (high/ultra), while the Ryzen Threadripper 9980X still has additional frame-generation headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at all 1080p settings, 4k (low/medium).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $6648. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 166 FPS, equivalent to 0.02 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 90 FPS, while the Ryzen Threadripper 9980X has headroom up to 101 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 11% (FPS gap: 11 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 6/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 6/12.
The Ryzen Threadripper 9980X 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) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 10% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 8% | GPU Limits CPU 11% |
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.
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 628% above and your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Ryzen Threadripper 9980X paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 4k achieving around 101 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 628% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $6648 ($4999 CPU (Rank #383 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4090 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 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 Throne and Liberty performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Throne and Liberty currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game. However, the game does support DLSS Upscaling and FSR Upscaling and XeSS, which you should enable to render at a lower resolution and use AI to significantly boost your FPS without losing visual quality.
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 Ryzen Threadripper 9980X and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
