Performance Summary
The Xeon E-2224G + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 24% and 100% and GPU utilization between 79% and 100%. Xeon E-2224G reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 carries most of the graphics load at heavier visual settings. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 88% at 1080p to 96% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 76% to 55%.
Load Interpretation
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Ultra, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 99% usage (98-100%), while the Xeon E-2224G stays at 51% (39-63%). This shows the graphics pipeline is carrying most of the workload, but utilization alone does not define the FPS limiter.
Resolution Scaling
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 76% and GPU 88%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 66% and GPU 96%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 55% and GPU 96%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
Optimal Settings Recommendation
1080p (Full HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 62% (42-83%) and GPU 88% (80-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon E-2224G remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade Insight
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Xeon E-2224G: 92% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 99% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
