This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k medium, the Xeon W-2265 sets the ceiling at about 152 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 4090 could reach 169 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 10% (FPS gap: 17 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 9/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 3/12.
The Xeon W-2265 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) | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 6% | CPU Limits GPU 6% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 7% | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 8% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 8% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | CPU Limits GPU 9% | CPU Limits GPU 10% |
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-2265 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 24% and 64% and GPU utilization between 83% and 91%. Xeon W-2265 keeps significant headroom across presets, while GeForce RTX 4090 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 88% at 1080p to 88% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 52% to 38%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The GeForce RTX 4090 reaches 89% average at its highest-load preset, while the Xeon W-2265 peaks at 53% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 52% and GPU 88%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 52% and GPU 89%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 38% and GPU 88%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
1080p (Full HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 51% (39-63%) and GPU 88% (84-91%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Xeon W-2265 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Xeon W-2265 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-2265 paired with the GeForce RTX 4090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 104 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 131% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 18% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $2312 ($663 CPU (Rank #338 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 Marvel Rivals, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon W-2265 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 ultra, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Marvel Rivals 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.
Marvel Rivals requires at minimum a Core i5-6600K (CPU) and GeForce GTX 1060 (GPU) with 12 GB RAM and 70 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-10400 and GeForce RTX 2060 Super with 16 GB RAM. Your Xeon W-2265 and GeForce RTX 4090 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Marvel Rivals 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.
