Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 169 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 142 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 94 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 183% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Throne and Liberty. The Xeon E-2288G is 11% below recommended, but 33% above minimum.
At lower resolutions (1080p (low/medium), 1440p (low/medium), 4k (low/medium)), the Xeon E-2288G sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra), the GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (high/ultra), 1440p high, 4k (high/ultra).
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p low, the Xeon E-2288G sets the ceiling at about 203 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 235 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 14% (FPS gap: 32 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 6/12 cells, GPU limits 2/12, balanced 4/12.
The Xeon E-2288G 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) | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 7% | GPU Limits CPU 6% | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 7% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 11% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | Balanced | Balanced |
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 E-2288G + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 15% and 77% and GPU utilization between 77% and 100%. Xeon E-2288G 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 97% at 1080p to 96% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 60% to 55%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Medium, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 100% usage (100-100%), while the Xeon E-2288G stays at 51% (34-68%). 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 60% and GPU 97%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 49% and GPU 98%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 55% and GPU 96%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 61% (50-72%) and GPU 88% (77-100%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon E-2288G remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade priority should be the GPU. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 100% average load at 1440p (2K QHD) Medium while the Xeon E-2288G still has headroom, so a faster graphics card would deliver the largest uplift.
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 E-2288G paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 4k achieving around 94 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 11% 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 Throne and Liberty, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon E-2288G 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, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 4k low, 4k medium. GPU fully utilized at: 1440p ultra.
Throne and Liberty 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.
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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
