A competitor to Overwatch featuring environmental destruction, which makes it CPU heavy. DX12 and 12GB of RAM are the minimum requirements.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 322 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 189 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 123 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is 136% above the recommended GPU (GeForce RTX 2060 Super) for Marvel Rivals. The Xeon w3-2423 is 28% below recommended, but 21% above minimum.
The Xeon w3-2423 sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p (low/medium), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce RTX 5090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $3000. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 322 FPS, equivalent to 0.11 FPS per dollar.

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 w3-2423 sets the ceiling at about 395 FPS, while the GeForce RTX 5090 could reach 648 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 39% (FPS gap: 253 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 6/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 6/12.
Your Xeon w3-2423 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 39% | CPU Limits GPU 23% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 22% | 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 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 28% below recommended and your GPU is 136% below recommended, but both meet minimum specs. Playable at Low/Medium settings, 1080p or below.

Yes, the Xeon w3-2423 paired with the GeForce RTX 5090 can run Marvel Rivals smoothly up to 4k achieving around 123 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 136% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 28% below the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $3000 ($300 CPU + $2700 GPU). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the EPYC 9375F is a great upgrade option for around $5306 (Rank #5 for value).
For Marvel Rivals, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Xeon w3-2423 is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 5090 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, 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 setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
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.
