This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX sets the ceiling at about 22 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 54 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 59% (FPS gap: 32 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 4090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 54% | CPU Limits GPU 57% | CPU Limits GPU 53% | CPU Limits GPU 56% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 41% | CPU Limits GPU 50% | CPU Limits GPU 51% | CPU Limits GPU 55% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 55% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 58% | CPU Limits GPU 59% |
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 Threadripper PRO 3975WX + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 30% and 81% and GPU utilization between 69% and 100%. Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 90% at 1080p to 96% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 63% to 39%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 100% usage (100-100%), while the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX stays at 37% (30-44%). 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 63% and GPU 90%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 40% and GPU 94%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 39% and GPU 96%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 73% (65-81%) and GPU 90% (81-98%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX and GeForce RTX 4090 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.

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Monster Hunter Wilds at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 54 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2017 ($368 CPU (Rank #230 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Your Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the EPYC 9355P is a great upgrade option for around $2998 (Rank #287 for value).
Your Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Monster Hunter Wilds performance right now. CPU fully utilized 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.
Monster Hunter Wilds 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.
Monster Hunter Wilds requires at minimum a Core i5-10600 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1660 Super (GPU) with 16 GB RAM and 140 GB (SSD) storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-11600K and GeForce RTX 2070 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Monster Hunter Wilds 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.
