CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals that the GPU is the primary performance driver in Rust at higher resolutions, while the CPU's influence becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and higher frame rates. At 3840x2160, the RTX 3080's workload dominates, as evidenced by the steep FPS decline when moving from Low (86.4 FPS) to Ultra (38.5 FPS). The 47.9 FPS spread across presets at 4K indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by pixel throughput, and the CPU's eight cores provide sufficient support to avoid bottlenecking.

At 2560x1440, the GPU still leads, but the scaling suggests a more balanced distribution. The jump from Ultra (63.5 FPS) to Low (146.4 FPS) spans 82.9 FPS, which is a larger absolute range than at 4K. This indicates that as resolution drops, the CPU has more headroom to push higher frame rates, but the GPU remains the limiting factor at higher presets. The fact that Ultra at 1440p achieves 63.5 FPS while 4K Medium achieves 60.3 FPS shows that the resolution reduction of 33% yields a 5.3% FPS gain at comparable quality levels.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's role becomes more prominent. The Ultra preset at 1080p (91.8 FPS) is 44.7% higher than the 1440p Ultra result (63.5 FPS), and the Low preset reaches 193.2 FPS. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low shows a 106.8 FPS difference, whereas the scaling from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra shows a 53.3 FPS difference. This pattern indicates that at lower settings, the combination of CPU and GPU can push frame rates high enough that the CPU's per-core performance matters more, while at higher settings the GPU's rendering workload dominates. The Ryzen 7 5700G's boost clock of 4.60 GHz and 16 threads provide ample compute for Rust's simulation and entity processing, allowing the RTX 3080 to operate near its full potential at 1080p.
