CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 4080 SUPER shifts significantly with resolution. At 1920x1080, the system is clearly CPU-leaning, as evidenced by the frame rate ceiling. The Low preset averages 299 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 173 FPS, a 42% reduction. This scaling shows that while the GPU handles the visual workload, the CPU’s single-thread performance, reflected in its PassMark single-thread score of 2,872, is sufficient to feed the GPU at these high frame rates, but the gap between presets is primarily a GPU-driven effect. The data suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor at 1080p, as the RTX 4080 SUPER is capable of far higher output than the 299 FPS observed on Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the balance tilts toward the GPU. The Low preset yields 228 FPS, while Ultra produces 112 FPS, a 51% drop. The Medium preset shows 175 FPS average with a minimum of 149 FPS and maximum of 201 FPS. Compared to 1080p, the Low preset at 1440p is 24% slower (299 vs 228 FPS), indicating that the GPU is now doing more work per frame. The Ryzen 5 5600F’s multi-thread score of 19,236 suggests it has ample headroom, but the resolution increase places more strain on the graphics card’s memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s and its 10,240 shading units.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant component. The Low preset averages 123 FPS, which is 59% lower than the 1080p Low result, while Ultra averages 60 FPS exactly at the playable threshold. The Medium preset shows 94 FPS average with a minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 108 FPS. This steep scaling curve, from 299 FPS at 1080p Low to 123 FPS at 4K Low, demonstrates that the RTX 4080 SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 256-bit bus are being fully utilized. The CPU’s role diminishes at 4K, as the GPU’s pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s becomes the constraining factor. In summary, at 1080p the CPU matters more, at 1440p the balance is even, and at 4K the GPU dictates performance entirely.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of this combo’s capabilities across all configurations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers a 299 FPS average, which is the highest recorded in the dataset. High settings produce 228 FPS, Medium shows 271 FPS with a minimum of 230 FPS and maximum of 312 FPS, and Ultra drops to 173 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 126 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER has substantial headroom even when the CPU is tasked with higher draw calls.

At 2560x1440, the numbers remain strong. Low averages 228 FPS, High reaches 147 FPS, Medium shows 175 FPS with a minimum of 149 FPS and maximum of 201 FPS, and Ultra holds at 112 FPS. The Medium preset’s minimum of 149 FPS is notably higher than the High preset’s average, which suggests that Medium is a particularly well-optimized setting for this resolution. The Ultra preset’s 112 FPS average is still far above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down predictably. Low averages 123 FPS, Medium averages 94 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 108 FPS, High averages 79 FPS, and Ultra averages exactly 60 FPS. The Ultra result is the only configuration in the entire dataset that sits at the playable threshold, making it a marginal but valid choice for 4K. The Medium preset’s minimum of 80 FPS provides a safer buffer, while Low’s 123 FPS average shows that the GPU can still push high frame rates at 4K when settings are reduced. Notably, the High preset at 4K (79 FPS) performs worse than the Medium preset (94 FPS), which is an anomaly in the data, suggesting that High settings may introduce a specific rendering cost that Medium avoids.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Minimum at 4K with Ultra settings?*

A: Yes, but just barely. The 3840x2160 Ultra preset averages 60 FPS, which is exactly at the playable threshold. This is the most demanding configuration in the dataset, and any additional background load could push it below 60 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4080 SUPER compare to the standard RTX 4080 in this game?

A: The RTX 4080 SUPER scores 54,209 on average, while the RTX 4080 scores 54,247, a delta of only 0.1%. In Minimum, the two GPUs would produce essentially identical frame rates, so the SUPER’s 999 USD launch MSRP buys minimal in-game performance over the non-SUPER model.
