Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions reveals distinct scaling patterns that identify the primary performance limiter at each setting level.

At Low settings, the FPS progression from 1080p (295) to 1440p (248) to 4K (129) shows reductions of 16% and 48% respectively. The 1080p-to-1440p drop of 47 FPS is relatively modest, while the 1440p-to-4K drop of 119 FPS is substantial. This pattern indicates the GPU becomes increasingly pixel-bound at 4K even with minimal graphics features enabled.

At Medium settings, the progression is 259 FPS (1080p) → 175 FPS (1440p) → 92 FPS (4K). The 1080p-to-1440p reduction is 32%, while the 1440p-to-4K reduction is 47%. The consistent scaling suggests the GPU's rendering workload scales predictably with pixel count, but the 4K result indicates the GPU's memory bandwidth (672.0 GB/s) and compute resources are approaching their limits.

At High settings, the progression is 196 FPS (1080p) → 124 FPS (1440p) → 65 FPS (4K). The reductions are 37% and 48% respectively. The 4K result of 65 FPS sits just above the 60 FPS threshold, demonstrating that this configuration can handle 4K High but with limited headroom for frame time spikes.

At Ultra settings, the progression is 187 FPS (1080p) → 118 FPS (1440p) → 62 FPS (4K). The reductions are 37% and 47% respectively. The 4K Ultra result of 62 FPS represents the configuration's weakest performance, though it remains technically playable.

The scaling analysis reveals that the GPU is the primary limiter at 4K across all settings, as evidenced by the consistent 47-48% performance reduction from 1440p to 4K regardless of preset. At 1080p, the relatively small differences between presets (295 Low vs 187 Ultra, a 37% range) suggest the CPU provides adequate frame delivery, though the CPU's single-thread score of 2941 may begin to constrain performance at the very highest frame rates. The 1440p results show balanced scaling where neither component is clearly dominant, with Medium achieving 175 FPS and Ultra 118 FPS.
