This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages. Adjacent heavier settings are lightly stabilized to remove prediction jitter that would otherwise create impossible reversals.
At 1080p low, the Xeon Platinum 8470 sets the ceiling at about 211 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 could reach 338 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 38% (FPS gap: 127 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon Platinum 8470 is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce RTX 5090 rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 38% | CPU Limits GPU 38% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 31% |
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 and then monotonic-smoothed across heavier presets and resolutions, 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 CPU is 360% above and your GPU is 189% above the recommended specs. Ultra settings at 1080p, or High at 1440p/4K.

Yes, the Xeon Platinum 8470 paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 4k achieving around 72 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 189% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 360% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $12059 ($9359 CPU + $2700 GPU). Your Xeon Platinum 8470 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 processor with a significantly better value rating. For example, the EPYC 9455P is a great upgrade option for around $4819 (Rank #356 for value) while costing less than your current CPU.
Your Xeon Platinum 8470 is already an incredibly powerful processor. While it's technically the first component to hit its limit (which is completely normal in state-of-the-art builds), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Throne and Liberty performance right now. CPU fully utilized 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 Platinum 8470 and GeForce RTX 5090 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.
