CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals distinct performance scaling patterns that indicate which component plays a more significant role at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 261.1 FPS at Low settings, which drops to 129.4 FPS at Ultra settings, a 50.4% reduction. This large performance spread suggests that the GPU becomes more heavily utilized as graphical settings increase, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom to feed the graphics card at lower settings.

At 2560x1440, the scaling follows a similar pattern, with Low settings producing 172.3 FPS and Ultra delivering 83.8 FPS, a 51.4% reduction. The relative consistency of these percentage drops across resolutions indicates that the GPU is the primary performance limiter when graphical settings are increased. However, the absolute frame rates at 1440p are notably lower than at 1080p, showing the impact of increased pixel count on GPU workload.

The 3840x2160 results demonstrate an even more pronounced GPU bottleneck. At this resolution, even the Low preset produces only 95.3 FPS, compared to 261.1 FPS at 1080p Low. This 63.5% reduction in performance at the same settings level clearly shows that the RTX 4070's rendering capacity is being stretched by the 4K resolution. The CPU's role becomes less significant at higher resolutions, as the GPU takes longer to render each frame, reducing the demand on the processor to supply data.

The scaling between resolutions at the same settings preset provides further insight. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 164.2 at 1080p to 106.8 at 1440p and 61.6 at 4K. This represents a 35.0% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 42.3% reduction from 1440p to 4K. These figures indicate that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining performance at all resolutions, with the CPU providing sufficient processing power to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at the highest frame rates.
