Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and dramatic scaling pattern as resolution increases, with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination showing a steep performance drop from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the combo delivers 173.8 FPS at 1920x1080, drops to 110 FPS at 2560x1440, and falls to 58.4 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 66.4% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Ultra, indicating the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Looking at Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic: 352.9 FPS at 1080p falls to 229.7 FPS at 1440p and then 124.3 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low is roughly 64.8%, which is slightly less steep than at Ultra but still substantial. This pattern suggests that even at the lowest settings, the resolution increase places significant demands on the rendering pipeline, and the GPU's raw throughput is the dominant constraint.

The Medium preset shows similar behavior, with 268.6 FPS at 1080p, 173.9 FPS at 1440p, and 92.5 FPS at 4K. The High preset follows suit: 225.5 FPS at 1080p, 143.8 FPS at 1440p, and 76.9 FPS at 4K. What's notable is that the gap between 1440p and 4K is consistently larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p across all settings, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the pixel-count increase from 1440p to 4K (roughly 2.25x more pixels) overwhelms the GPU's capacity.

The data implies that this game at 4K is heavily GPU-limited, even with a high-end RTX 4080 SUPER. At 1080p, however, the CPU plays a more significant role, as evidenced by the 352.9 FPS Low result — a figure that suggests the Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads are capable of feeding the GPU sufficiently at lower resolutions. The question becomes whether the CPU becomes the bottleneck at 1080p Ultra, where the frame rate is still high but the gap between Low and Ultra is only about half the gap seen at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear picture of how each preset balances visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 352.9 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can show, while Ultra still delivers 173.8 FPS — an excellent result for competitive play. For most users at 1080p, the High preset at 225.5 FPS offers a strong compromise, but the data suggests that Ultra is perfectly playable here and likely provides the best visual experience without sacrificing fluidity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the story becomes more nuanced. Ultra delivers 110 FPS, which is still smooth for most gamers, while High reaches 143.8 FPS and Medium hits 173.9 FPS. The Low preset at 229.7 FPS is overkill for most displays. The recommendation from the data is clear: at 1440p, High or Medium are the sweet spots, with Ultra being viable if the user prioritizes image quality over the extra headroom. The 33.8 FPS difference between Ultra and High at 1440p (110 vs 143.8) is significant enough that High seems to offer the best experience per the measured rows.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. Ultra drops to 58.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. High at 76.9 FPS is playable but not ideal for fast-paced third-person shooter action, while Medium at 92.5 FPS provides a better experience. Low at 124.3 FPS is the only 4K preset that exceeds 120 FPS, making it the recommended choice for high-refresh-rate 4K displays. The data suggests that at 4K, users should drop to Medium or Low to maintain competitive frame rates, as the GPU's 16 GB of VRAM is not the limiting factor — the raw compute power is.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the star of this combo, and the benchmark results show a GPU that is clearly capable of high frame rates when resolution demands are moderate. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for this game's needs at any resolution. The VRAM capacity is not a bottleneck here, as even at 4K Ultra, the game does not appear to exceed the available memory based on the consistent scaling pattern.

The RTX 4080 SUPER's clock speeds — 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost — contribute to its 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. This raw compute power is what drives the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU can flex its muscle. The benchmark results show the GPU operating at 88th percentile vs all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53610. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores 53489, which is only 0.2% lower — indicating this GPU is at the top of its class.

The data reveals that the GPU's role changes with resolution. At 1080p Low, the 352.9 FPS result suggests the GPU is not the limiting factor — the CPU likely is, given the 8-core Ryzen 7 5700's 16 threads. But at 4K Ultra, the 58.4 FPS result shows the GPU is fully saturated. The fact that the RTX 4080 SUPER's pixel rate is 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 816.0 GTexel/s helps explain why 4K Ultra is demanding — the game's Ultra preset likely incorporates heavy shading and texture work that taxes these units.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination ranks 132nd out of 1733 tested combos in this game. This places it in the top 7.6% of all systems tested, which is a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank suggests that while the RTX 4080 SUPER is a top-tier GPU, the Ryzen 7 5700 holds the combo back from reaching the very top of the rankings.

The CPU's percentile vs all CPUs is 84, with an average benchmark score of 27220. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K at 27043 (0.7% lower), the Intel Core i7-12700H at 27006 (0.8% lower), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 26909 (1.2% lower). This indicates the Ryzen 7 5700 is a solid performer, but not exceptional — it sits in the upper-middle tier of CPU performance.

The GPU's percentile vs all GPUs is 88, with an average benchmark score of 53610. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT at 53489 (0.2% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 53414 (0.4% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 52086 (2.9% lower). The GPU is clearly the stronger component in this pairing, and the combo rank reflects that — with a better CPU, this combo could easily crack the top 100.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 brings 8 cores and 16 threads to the table, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This is a Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture chip on a 7 nm process, with 16 MB of L3 cache. The CPU's performance in synthetic benchmarks is solid: it scores 20655 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2916 in single-core, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 901 and 16-thread score of 6628.

At 1080p, the CPU's role becomes more apparent. The 352.9 FPS Low result and 225.5 FPS High result suggest that at these resolutions, the Ryzen 7 5700 is capable of feeding the RTX 4080 SUPER without becoming a significant bottleneck. However, the fact that the combo ranks 132nd rather than higher suggests that the CPU does limit performance in some scenarios. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1762 and single-thread score of 901 indicate that the CPU's single-thread performance is decent but not class-leading.

At 4K, the CPU's role diminishes as the GPU becomes the primary constraint. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at each setting shows that the CPU can maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions but the GPU's workload increases disproportionately with resolution. The data implies that for this game, the Ryzen 7 5700 is sufficient at all resolutions, but a stronger CPU would likely improve the 1080p frame rates, particularly at Low settings where the CPU has more headroom to become the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 352.9 FPS, Medium 268.6 FPS, High 225.5 FPS, and Ultra 173.8 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 179.1 FPS, showing that settings have a massive impact at this resolution. The 1440p results are: Low 229.7 FPS, Medium 173.9 FPS, High 143.8 FPS, and Ultra 110 FPS. The spread narrows to 119.7 FPS, indicating the GPU is becoming more of a factor.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 124.3 FPS, Medium 92.5 FPS, High 76.9 FPS, and Ultra 58.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 65.9 FPS, which is the smallest of all resolutions. This confirms that at 4K, the GPU is the dominant constraint — even dropping to Low settings only recovers about 66 FPS over Ultra, whereas at 1080p, the same settings change recovers 179 FPS.

The data shows that the gap between Medium and High is relatively consistent across resolutions: 43.1 FPS at 1080p, 30.1 FPS at 1440p, and 15.6 FPS at 4K. The gap between High and Ultra is 51.7 FPS at 1080p, 33.8 FPS at 1440p, and 18.5 FPS at 4K. These diminishing returns with resolution suggest that the Ultra preset's additional visual features are increasingly expensive at higher resolutions, making it less attractive on a relative basis.
