Counter-Strike 2

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Counter-Strike 2, from 324.9 FPS at 1080p Low to 56.6 FPS at 4K Ultra. The CPU, with a launch MSRP of $249, and the GPU, with a launch MSRP of 399 USD, together rank 1160th out of 1632 tested combinations in this title. The data shows a system that can handle competitive play at 1080p and 1440p, but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K, especially on Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep drop as resolution increases. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 200.2 FPS at 1920x1080 to 130.5 FPS at 2560x1440, and then to 76.2 FPS at 3840x2160. The 4K High result is less than half of the 1080p High figure, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The same pattern holds for Low settings: 324.9 FPS at 1080p, 210.6 FPS at 1440p, and 119.7 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low average is roughly a third of the 1080p Low value, a clear sign that resolution scaling heavily taxes the graphics hardware.

Medium settings follow the trend, with 268.6 FPS at 1080p, 178 FPS at 1440p, and 99.4 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce the lowest numbers across the board: 154.6 FPS at 1080p, 102.6 FPS at 1440p, and 56.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured average below 60 FPS, which is often considered the minimum for smooth gameplay. The consistent decline from 1080p to 4K across all settings suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting component when resolution increases, while the CPU appears capable of feeding high frame rates at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1470 MHz and boost clock is 1650 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU has 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, 34 RT cores, and 272 tensor cores, delivering 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. It sits in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19774. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.3% ahead of the GTX TITAN, 0.5% behind the RTX 2070, 0.8% ahead of the Quadro K5200, and 1.3% ahead of the Tesla K40m.

In Counter-Strike 2, the GPU's capabilities are reflected in the measured frame rates. At 1080p, the GPU delivers playable performance across all settings, with the lowest average being 154.6 FPS at Ultra. At 1440p, the Ultra setting still manages 102.6 FPS, but at 4K, the Ultra average drops to 56.6 FPS, below the 60 FPS threshold. The 8 GB VRAM capacity and 448 GB/s bandwidth are fixed specifications that likely contribute to the performance ceiling at high resolutions, though the data alone does not isolate their individual impact. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking, combined with the CPU's higher percentile, suggests that the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1160th out of 1632 tested combinations in Counter-Strike 2. This places it in the lower half of the field, meaning a majority of other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average FPS in this game. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, is in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29774. It is 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, and 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H. The CPU's strong percentile ranking indicates it is a high-performing processor, but the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's more modest 63rd percentile.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 19774 places it in the 63rd percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within 1.3% in average score. The discrepancy between the CPU's 86th percentile and the GPU's 63rd percentile is a clear indicator that the graphics card is the bottleneck in this system. The combo rank of 1160 out of 1632 reflects this imbalance: the CPU is capable of driving higher frame rates, but the GPU limits the overall performance, especially at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows that this pairing is better suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the GPU can keep up with the CPU's output.
