Specifically, the average FPS at 1920x1080 is 402 on Low, 317 on Medium, 254 on High, and 197 on Ultra. These high numbers indicate that the CPU is capable of feeding frames faster than the GPU can render at this resolution, but the GPU is still powerful enough to produce very high output.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a noticeable drop, indicating that the GPU is starting to become a limiting factor. The averages are 265 FPS on Low, 209 on Medium, 167 on High, and 130 on Ultra. This represents an average drop of roughly 34% from 1080p to 1440p across settings. At 4K (3840x2160), the GPU’s workload increases significantly, and the frame rates drop to 147 FPS on Low, 116 on Medium, 93 on High, and 72 on Ultra. From 1080p to 4K, the average FPS drops by approximately 63% on Low, 63% on Medium, 63% on High, and 63% on Ultra. This consistent percentage drop across settings suggests that the scaling is primarily due to the GPU’s rendering workload.

The data shows that at 4K, the combo is clearly GPU-limited, as the frame rates are lower but still very playable. The drop from 402 FPS at 1080p Low to 147 FPS at 4K Low indicates that even a top-tier GPU like the RTX 5090 D is taxed by the pixel count. However, the fact that it still maintains a 72 FPS average at 4K Ultra shows that it has enough headroom for high-fidelity gaming. The CPU’s role is less prominent at 4K, as the GPU becomes the bottleneck. This analysis confirms that for maximum frame rates, lower resolutions are preferable, but for a balance of visual quality and performance, 1440p offers a sweet spot with averages between 130 and 265 FPS.
