CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals an interesting dynamic between the CPU and GPU at different resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high across all presets, with the Low preset hitting 305.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 119.3 FPS, but even the lowest result, 186.6 FPS, is far above the 60 FPS target. This suggests that at 1080p, the CPU, the Intel Core i5-12400F, is the primary driver of performance, as the GPU has ample headroom. The scaling from Medium to High to Ultra is consistent, but the high absolute numbers indicate the CPU is working hard to feed frames to the GPU.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more prominent. The performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is noticeable, with the Ultra preset falling from 186.6 to 121 FPS. This 65.6 FPS drop is more substantial than the drop seen at lower presets, indicating that the GPU is starting to become a limiting factor. The trend continues at 3840x2160, where the Ultra preset averages 65.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 75.4 FPS (140.6 to 65.2), which is a larger absolute difference than at 1440p, where the gap is 131.9 FPS (252.9 to 121). The data shows a clear shift: the CPU is the bottleneck at 1080p, while the GPU becomes increasingly important at 1440p and especially at 4K, where the RTX 5090's massive compute and memory resources are fully utilized. The i5-12400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides sufficient single-thread performance for high FPS at lower resolutions, but the RTX 5090 is the component that ensures playability at the highest settings and resolutions.
