Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance. At Low settings, the FPS drops from 344.8 at 1080p to 221.1 at 1440p (a 35.9% reduction) and then to 115.7 at 4K (a 47.7% reduction from 1440p). This scaling shows that the GPU’s rendering load increases significantly with resolution, as expected, but the CPU maintains sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a bottleneck.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 165.8 FPS at 1080p drops to 105.6 FPS at 1440p (a 36.3% reduction) and then to 53.1 FPS at 4K (a 49.7% reduction from 1440p). The larger percentage drop at Ultra settings compared to Low settings indicates that the GPU is working closer to its maximum capacity at higher visual fidelity, making it the clear limiting component. The CPU’s performance remains consistent across resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate differences are directly proportional to the pixel count increase.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on optimal settings for different performance targets. For users with 4K displays seeking 60 FPS, the High preset delivers 58.3 FPS, which is just short of the target, while Medium provides a comfortable 83 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K yields only 53.1 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay on standard 60Hz displays. At 1440p, the High preset achieves 111.7 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors, while Ultra reaches 105.6 FPS, still above the 100 FPS threshold. For 1080p users, even the Ultra preset delivers 165.8 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience on any monitor, while the Low preset’s 344.8 FPS is overkill for all but the most extreme refresh rates.

The data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions, with frame rates ranging from 58.3 FPS at 4K to 170.4 FPS at 1080p. The Medium preset provides a significant performance boost over High at higher resolutions—83 FPS versus 58.3 FPS at 4K—making it the recommended choice for 4K users who prefer higher frame rates over maximum visual fidelity.
