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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling across resolutions. At 1080p with High settings, the combo delivers 184 FPS average. Moving to 1440p High drops this to 116 FPS — a 37% reduction. At 4K High, performance falls to 61 FPS, representing another 47% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep decline with increasing pixel count strongly indicates the RTX 4070 is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, as the CPU's 20 cores can easily maintain frame delivery even at lower pixel densities.

The Low settings data provides even clearer evidence. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 367 FPS average — an extremely high figure that suggests neither component is heavily strained. At 1440p Low, performance drops to 232 FPS (37% reduction), and at 4K Low it reaches 121 FPS (48% reduction from 1440p). The consistent ~37% drop from 1080p to 1440p and ~48% drop from 1440p to 4K across both High and Low settings points to pixel fill-rate limitations of the GPU rather than CPU constraints. The RTX 4070's 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 455.4 GTexel/s texture rate are being fully utilized at higher resolutions.

Ultra settings exhibit the same pattern with lower absolute numbers. The 1080p Ultra average of 175 FPS drops to 110 FPS at 1440p (37% reduction) and 58 FPS at 4K (47% reduction from 1440p). This consistent scaling factor across all settings levels — roughly 37% and 47-48% reductions — indicates that the performance ceiling is governed by the GPU's rendering throughput rather than CPU or memory bandwidth limitations. The CPU's dual-channel DDR5 memory providing 102.4 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient to feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck, as evidenced by the CPU maintaining high performance even at 4K where GPU work dominates.
