1920x1080: The Low preset delivers 242 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates the system is not GPU-limited at this resolution. Medium produces 191 FPS with a minimum of 162 FPS and a maximum of 220 FPS. High settings yield 153 FPS, while Ultra drops to 119 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 123 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU is the primary performance differentiator as settings rise.

2560x1440: At this resolution, Low settings produce 159 FPS, which is a 34% reduction compared to 1080p Low. Medium delivers 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS and a maximum of 145 FPS, representing a 34% drop from 1080p Medium. High settings achieve 101 FPS, and Ultra falls to 78 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is 81 FPS, showing that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor at this resolution.

3840x2160: The 4K results show the most significant performance impact. Low settings deliver 88 FPS, Medium produces 70 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS, High drops to 56 FPS, and Ultra yields 43 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 45 FPS, which is the smallest absolute gap across all resolutions. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is heavily loaded even at Low settings, and the CPU is no longer the bottleneck.

The Medium preset at each resolution provides the most consistent data, as it is the only setting with min and max FPS values recorded. At 1080p Medium, the range is 162-220 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 107-145 FPS; and at 4K Medium, it is 59-80 FPS. This suggests that Medium settings offer a stable experience across all resolutions.
