Best Settings per Resolution

The data shows the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution.

• For 3840x2160 (4K): The best setting is Ultra, which achieves an average of 88 FPS.
• For 2560x1440 (1440p): The best setting is Ultra, which achieves an average of 137 FPS.
• For 1920x1080 (1080p): The best setting is Ultra, which achieves an average of 187 FPS.

Since the Ultra preset is the most demanding option, and it remains above 60 FPS at every resolution, users can always play with the highest visual quality.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals the distinct roles each component plays at different resolutions. At lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU has a more significant impact. The frame rate difference between presets is smaller: the gap from Low (256 FPS) to Ultra (187 FPS) is 69 FPS. This suggests the system is less GPU-bound, and the CPU is more easily able to feed frames. The performance is very high, and the CPU can handle the load.

As the resolution increases to 1440p, the GPU's load increases more significantly. The gap between Low (231 FPS) and Ultra (137 FPS) is 94 FPS, showing a larger impact from the graphics settings. This is a clear sign that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor.

At 4K (3840x2160), the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The frame rate drops dramatically when moving from High (118 FPS) to Ultra (88 FPS), a 30 FPS difference. The difference between Low (190 FPS) and Ultra (88 FPS) is 102 FPS, the largest span of any resolution. This confirms that the GPU is the most crucial component at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 5600 is sufficient to feed it at 1080p and 1440p.
