The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 35 against the 38 that Marvel Rivals asks for at the ultra tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Marvel Rivals: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Marvel Rivals the processor beside a GeForce RTX 3090 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Ryzen 9 5900X 70 Runs at high system memory
Ryzen 7 9800X3D 95 Runs at high system memory

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: Radeon RX 7900 XTX

The GeForce RTX 3090 sits at index 35 and the ultra tier starts at 38.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the ultra tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".
