Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 4K, the High preset delivers 79.8 FPS, while Ultra drops to 67 FPS. Medium offers 90.1 FPS, and Low reaches 126.8 FPS. For users prioritizing visual quality, Ultra is still playable at 67 FPS, but High provides a higher frame rate with a modest reduction in quality. At 1440p, Ultra achieves 103.5 FPS, making it a strong choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 1080p, all presets are above 137.4 FPS, so Ultra is recommended for maximum quality without sacrificing performance. The data indicates that the combo can handle Ultra settings at 1080p and 1440p, while at 4K, High offers the best balance of frame rate and visual fidelity.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drops consistently as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. For High settings, the average FPS falls from 157.5 at 1080p to 119.4 at 1440p and 79.8 at 4K. For Low settings, the values are 222.1, 186.1, and 126.8 respectively. Medium goes from 174 to 132.9 to 90.1, and Ultra from 137.4 to 103.5 to 67. The scaling pattern shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance is less likely to bottleneck at 4K. The CPU's high single-thread score (901 in 3DMark single-thread) suggests it can keep up with the GPU at 1080p, but at 4K the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints. The data shows that the combo is capable of maintaining playable frame rates at 4K across all settings, with the lowest result being 67 FPS at Ultra.
