Across all resolutions, the data shows a consistent pattern: Low is the fastest, Medium offers a balance, and High/Ultra are nearly identical. The lack of minimum FPS data for most presets means that stability cannot be fully assessed, but the available minimums (1080p Medium at 193, 1440p Medium at 165, 4K Medium at 88) indicate that Medium is the safest choice for consistent frame times.

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

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the bottleneck dynamics of this combo. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 258 at 1080p to 221 at 1440p (a 14% reduction) and then to 146 at 4K (a 34% reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 112 FPS, a 43% decrease. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions, as the CPU's 12 threads are sufficient to handle the simulation logic at all settings.

At Medium settings, the scaling is steeper. The FPS drops from 227 at 1080p to 194 at 1440p (a 15% reduction) and then to 103 at 4K (a 47% reduction from 1440p). The total drop is 124 FPS, a 55% decrease. The larger drop at 4K Medium compared to Low suggests that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being taxed more heavily as settings increase, confirming the GPU-bound nature of the workload.

At High settings, the FPS drops from 199 at 1080p to 140 at 1440p (a 30% reduction) and then to 73 at 4K (a 48% reduction from 1440p). The total drop is 126 FPS, a 63% decrease. At Ultra settings, the FPS drops from 196 at 1080p to 133 at 1440p (a 32% reduction) and then to 70 at 4K (a 47% reduction from 1440p). The total drop is 126 FPS, a 64% decrease.

The data shows that the FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p is moderate (14-32%), but the drop from 1440p to 4K is severe (34-48%). This non-linear scaling is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the RTX 5070 Ti's 896.0 GB/s bandwidth and 43.94 TFLOPS of compute are the limiting factors. The CPU's role is minimal at 4K, as evidenced by the similar FPS drops across settings, whereas at 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 696) may introduce slight variability, but the high FPS numbers (196-258) mask any potential bottleneck. The conclusion is clear: for this combo, the RTX 5070 Ti dictates performance as resolution rises, and the Ryzen 5 3600 provides ample headroom for the game's simulation demands.
