This suggests that users with 1440p 240 Hz monitors can run the game at High settings and still exceed the monitor's refresh rate, while Ultra settings remain playable at 182 FPS.

At 4K, the system transitions from being CPU-bound to GPU-bound. The RTX 4090's raw power is evident in the 136 FPS at High settings, which is a playable and smooth experience for a tactical shooter. Ultra settings at 4K drop to 95 FPS, which is still above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, though it requires the GPU to work at its limit. The minimum FPS of 127 at 4K Medium shows that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate does not drop below the average by a significant margin, indicating stable performance.

The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows the impact of graphical settings. At 4K, the difference between Low (171 FPS) and Ultra (95 FPS) is 76 FPS, a 44.4% reduction. At 1440p, the difference is 145 FPS (327 to 182), a 44.3% reduction. At 1080p, the difference is 230 FPS (519 to 289), a 44.3% reduction. This consistent percentage reduction across resolutions indicates that the GPU's workload scales linearly with the settings, and the CPU is not introducing additional variability. The combo delivers a high-performance experience across all tested configurations, with no setting or resolution combination falling below 95 FPS average.
