As the world's most popular MOBA, League of Legends runs on a proprietary engine that has been updated for over a decade. Recently, Riot increased the minimum requirements to include AVX instruction support and dropped support for older OSs and DirectX 9. While still lightweight, modern team fights with complex particle effects can strain older integrated graphics. The game scales well with single-thread CPU performance, meaning even modern entry-level processors can deliver high frame rates.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 562 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 422 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 281 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6800 XT is 803% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 560) for League of Legends. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 435% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3330).
At lower resolutions (1080p low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (high/ultra), all 1440p settings, 4k (medium/high/ultra)), the Radeon RX 6800 XT becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p medium, 4k low.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1121.13. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 562 FPS, equivalent to 0.5 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 1440p ultra, the Radeon RX 6800 XT sets the ceiling at about 422 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 656 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 36% (FPS gap: 234 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 10/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Radeon RX 6800 XT is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 16% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 34% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 31% | GPU Limits CPU 36% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 9% | GPU Limits CPU 21% | GPU Limits CPU 31% | GPU Limits CPU 36% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 6800 XT can run League of Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 281 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 803% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 435% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1121.13 ($378.13 CPU + $743 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4080 for around $1199 (Rank #290 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For League of Legends, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6800 XT is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra. CPU-limited at: 1080p low.
League of Legends 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.
League of Legends requires at minimum a Core i3-530 (CPU) and GeForce 9600 GT (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3330 and GeForce GTX 560 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 6800 XT both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These League of Legends 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.
