Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling at higher resolutions, while lower resolutions expose the CPU's capability to feed the graphics card. At 1080p Low settings, the combination produces 392 FPS on average, which drops to 248 FPS at 1440p Low and further to 129 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 37% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 48% reduction from 1440p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

The scaling pattern shifts when examining High settings. At 1080p High, the average frame rate is 196 FPS, falling to 124 FPS at 1440p High and 65 FPS at 4K High. These drops of 37% and 48% respectively mirror the Low settings scaling almost exactly, suggesting that the GPU's rendering workload scales proportionally with resolution regardless of the quality preset. The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient to handle the increased memory pressure at 4K without causing a disproportionate performance collapse.

Medium settings provide the only configuration with recorded minimum and maximum frame rates, offering additional insight into frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the average is 278 FPS with a minimum of 236 FPS and maximum of 320 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 175 FPS with a minimum of 149 FPS and maximum of 202 FPS. The 4K Medium configuration averages 92 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS. The consistency between minimum and average values suggests stable frame delivery without severe stuttering, even at the highest resolution.

The most demanding preset, Ultra, shows the tightest resolution scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 187 FPS, which falls to 118 FPS at 1440p Ultra and 62 FPS at 4K Ultra. The 37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 47% drop from 1440p to 4K closely matches the pattern seen across other settings, confirming that resolution scaling in this game is highly predictable. The fact that 4K Ultra still maintains 62 FPS average indicates that this combination has headroom for high-refresh-rate 4K gaming only if settings are reduced.
