Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling pattern reveals a classic GPU-bound progression, though the CPU still exerts influence at lower resolutions. Starting at 1920x1080 with High settings, the system produces 126 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops performance to 83 FPS, a 34% reduction. Further scaling to 3840x2160 yields 46 FPS, representing a 63% decrease from the 1080p baseline. This progressive decline aligns with the increasing pixel count that the RX 7700 must process.

The Low settings data provides insight into the CPU's capabilities. At 1080p Low, the system hits 200 FPS, which likely approaches the CPU's frame generation limit given the processor's single-thread performance. At 1440p Low, it drops to 132 FPS, and at 4K Low it reaches 73 FPS. The substantial drop from 200 to 132 FPS when moving from 1080p to 1440p suggests the GPU begins to become a limiting factor even at Low settings, though the CPU still maintains high frame rates.

The Medium settings measurements include frame time data that helps characterize the bottleneck. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 and maximum of 182. The 1440p Medium configuration drops to 104 FPS average with an 88-120 FPS range. At 4K Medium, performance falls to 58 FPS average with 49-66 FPS variability. The consistent reduction in average FPS alongside the maintained frame pacing suggests the GPU handles the increasing load without introducing severe stuttering.

The scaling factor from 1440p to 4K at each setting reveals the GPU's pixel processing limits. At High settings, the drop from 83 to 46 FPS represents a 45% reduction, while at Low settings the drop from 132 to 73 FPS is a 45% reduction as well. At Medium, the decline from 104 to 58 FPS is a 44% reduction, and at Ultra, the 65 to 36 FPS drop is a 45% reduction. This consistent 44-45% performance penalty for doubling the pixel count indicates the GPU operates at its efficiency limit across all settings, suggesting the RX 7700 is the primary constraint at 4K.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more apparent. The difference between Low (200 FPS) and Ultra (98 FPS) settings shows the GPU's workload scaling, but the high ceiling at Low settings indicates the CPU can feed frames beyond 200 FPS in undemanding graphical scenarios. The 5950X's 32 threads and high boost clock ensure that even the most populated multiplayer servers do not starve the GPU of frame data.
