This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k ultra, the Xeon W-2175 sets the ceiling at about 54 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 95 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 43% (FPS gap: 41 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Xeon W-2175 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 34% | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 31% | CPU Limits GPU 40% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 26% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | CPU Limits GPU 31% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 40% | CPU Limits GPU 34% | CPU Limits GPU 43% |
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 W-2175 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 15% and 74% and GPU utilization between 68% and 100%. Xeon W-2175 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 90% at 1080p to 91% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 56% to 55%.
From a utilization perspective, this is a GPU-heavy load profile. At 1440p (2K QHD) Medium, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 94% usage (91-98%), while the Xeon W-2175 stays at 48% (34-61%). 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 56% and GPU 90%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 45% and GPU 91%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 55% and GPU 91%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
1080p (Full HD) Medium is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 60% (50-69%) and GPU 92% (88-97%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon W-2175 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon W-2175 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 W-2175 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Throne and Liberty smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 92 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 183% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 20% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1829 ($180 CPU (Rank #462 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Xeon Platinum 8454H is a great upgrade option for around $6540 (Rank #1 for value).
For Throne and Liberty, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon W-2175 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 W-2175 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.
