At 1920x1080, the frame rates range from 293.9 FPS (Ultra) to 705 FPS (Low), showing that the CPU is the primary bottleneck. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D's strong single-thread performance (3dmark single thread score of 959, passmark single thread score of 3759) drives these high frame rates, while the GPU has significant headroom at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates decrease by roughly 33-36% compared to 1080p, indicating the GPU is beginning to take on a more significant role. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate handle the increased pixel workload, but the CPU still contributes substantially to the overall frame rate. The Ultra preset drops from 293.9 FPS to 187.8 FPS, a 36.1% reduction that reflects the GPU's growing influence.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The frame rates drop by an additional 47-49% compared to 1440p, with Ultra settings falling to 96.7 FPS. This scaling pattern shows that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 672.3 GB/s memory bandwidth and 16 GB GDDR6X VRAM are sufficient for 4K rendering, but the GPU is now the limiting factor. The CPU's role diminishes at this resolution, though the 7800X3D's cache and thread management still prevent it from becoming a bottleneck. The data indicates that players at 1080p or 1440p benefit most from the CPU's strengths, while 4K players rely more heavily on GPU performance.
