A competitor to Overwatch featuring environmental destruction, which makes it CPU heavy. DX12 and 12GB of RAM are the minimum requirements.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 181 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 142 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 77 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 131% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Marvel Rivals. The Xeon D-1540 is 23% below minimum CPU requirement.
The Xeon D-1540 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
At 1080p low, the Xeon D-1540 sets the ceiling at about 251 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 482 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 48% (FPS gap: 231 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon D-1540 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 48% | CPU Limits GPU 41% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 29% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 32% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 35% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 40% | CPU Limits GPU 38% |
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.
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 hardware is below minimum requirements. CPU is the limiting factor (23% below minimum). Expect performance issues. Low settings recommended.

Yes, the Xeon D-1540 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 77 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 54% below 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.
For Marvel Rivals, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon D-1540 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Marvel Rivals 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.
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 hardware falls below the minimum requirements for this game, which may result in poor performance.
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.
