Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves an average of 92 FPS. This is well above the playable threshold, and the system has significant headroom even at maximum settings. Medium settings at this resolution produce 144 FPS average, with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. High settings deliver 121 FPS average, while Low settings reach 188 FPS average, showing the GPU is not heavily stressed at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, which maintains an average of 78 FPS. Ultra settings fall just below the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 59 FPS, making it not officially playable. Medium settings deliver 93 FPS average, with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS, offering a comfortable margin above the threshold. Low settings produce 121 FPS average, indicating the system handles this resolution well across most settings.

At 3840x2160, the only preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 65 FPS. This is the most demanding resolution for the combo, and the data shows a clear drop-off as settings increase. Medium settings fall to 50 FPS average, with a minimum of 42 FPS and a maximum of 57 FPS. High settings drop further to 42 FPS average, and Ultra settings bottom out at 32 FPS average. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain playable frame rates at 4K with higher presets.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is substantial, from 188 FPS down to 92 FPS, a drop of 96 FPS. This suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck even at lower resolutions, as the CPU has enough headroom to feed the graphics card. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, ensures it does not hold back frame rates at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern continues with Low at 121 FPS and Ultra at 59 FPS, a difference of 62 FPS. The GPU's workload increases significantly, and the gap between settings narrows in absolute terms but remains proportional. The CPU still provides sufficient processing power, as the frame rate drops are consistent with GPU-bound behavior. The moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 35% on average across presets, indicating the GPU is handling a heavier pixel load.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. Low settings produce 65 FPS, but High settings fall to 42 FPS and Ultra to 32 FPS. The GPU's 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 113.3 GPixel/s pixel rate cannot sustain high frame rates at this resolution with demanding settings. The RTX 2070 SUPER's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs are simply outmatched by the 4K workload. The CPU's role diminishes further, as the frame rates are constrained entirely by the graphics card's rendering capabilities. The scaling from 1440p to 2160p shows a further reduction of roughly 45% across presets, confirming that the GPU is the sole bottleneck at this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of the Ryzen 5 7400F's average benchmark score of 32750.
