Being turn-based, extreme FPS is less critical here. The game features high-fidelity models and uses considerable storage for audio and cutscenes. 8GB of RAM is recommended for smooth operation.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 97 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 86 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 72 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 279% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1060) for Honkai: Star Rail. The Xeon D-1733NT is 31% below recommended, but 12% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k (high/ultra)), the Xeon D-1733NT sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (low/medium), 1440p (low/medium), 4k low), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p high, 1440p high, 4k medium.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1949. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 97 FPS, equivalent to 0.05 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p low, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 121 FPS, while the Xeon D-1733NT has headroom up to 165 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 27% (FPS gap: 44 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 5/12 cells, CPU limits 4/12, balanced 3/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4090 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Xeon D-1733NT frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 26% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 13% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 27% | GPU Limits CPU 17% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 17% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 6% | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 20% |
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 Xeon D-1733NT + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 21% and 54% and GPU utilization between 34% and 64%. Xeon D-1733NT keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 44% at 1080p to 62% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 39% to 39%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 62% average at its highest-load preset, while the Xeon D-1733NT peaks at 41% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 39% and GPU 44%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 39% and GPU 55%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 39% and GPU 62%. This shows that GPU demand scales sharply with resolution while CPU load remains comparatively stable.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 36% (21-52%) and GPU 62% (61-64%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon D-1733NT remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon D-1733NT 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.

Yes, the Xeon D-1733NT paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Honkai: Star Rail smoothly up to 4k achieving around 72 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 279% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 31% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1949 ($300 CPU (Rank #219 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 Honkai: Star Rail performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k low. CPU-limited at: 1080p ultra, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Honkai: Star Rail 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.
Honkai: Star Rail requires at minimum a Core i3 (CPU) and GeForce GTX 650 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 20 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i7 and GeForce GTX 1060 with 8 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Honkai: Star Rail 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.
