Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 120 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 101 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 61 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 183% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 1660) for Throne and Liberty. The Xeon E7-4890 v2 is 59% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-11600K).
The Xeon E7-4890 v2 determines the performance ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GPU has headroom.
At 4k ultra, the Xeon E7-4890 v2 sets the ceiling at about 61 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 90 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 32% (FPS gap: 29 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon E7-4890 v2 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 20% | CPU Limits GPU 18% | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 26% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 19% | CPU Limits GPU 17% | CPU Limits GPU 13% | CPU Limits GPU 22% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 32% |
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.

The Xeon E7-4890 v2 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 26% and 82% and GPU utilization between 47% and 82%. Xeon E7-4890 v2 stays in a controlled operating range, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 70% at 1080p to 72% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 69% to 66%.
The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 75% average at its highest-load preset, while the Xeon E7-4890 v2 peaks at 74% average, with no single component consistently acting as a hard bottleneck.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 69% and GPU 70%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 54% and GPU 70%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 66% and GPU 72%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 68% (54-82%) and GPU 75% (68-82%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon E7-4890 v2 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon E7-4890 v2 and GeForce RTX 4090 remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization & Bottlenecks: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. This is the key to identifying performance bottlenecks in any system.

Yes, the Xeon E7-4890 v2 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 4k achieving around 61 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 59% above 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 E7-4890 v2 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.
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 Xeon E7-4890 v2 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
