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

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K provides insight into the system's bottleneck. At the High preset, the average FPS goes from 187 at 1080p, to 118 at 1440p, and down to 62 at 4K. This is a drop of 69 FPS (36.9%) from 1080p to 1440p, and a further drop of 56 FPS (47.5%) from 1440p to 4K. At the Low preset, the FPS drops from 236 at 1080p, to 149 at 1440p, and to 78 at 4K. This represents a 36.9% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 47.7% drop from 1440p to 4K.

The scaling pattern shows that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions. The CPU's performance is relatively constant across resolutions, as the workload per frame increases with resolution, but the CPU's job of preparing frames does not scale as dramatically. The RTX 5050's 8 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are likely the primary constraints at 4K, as the game's textures and effects require more memory and bandwidth at higher resolutions. The fact that the FPS drops by nearly 50% from 1440p to 4K, while the pixel count increases by 2.25x, indicates that the GPU is not scaling linearly with resolution, likely due to memory bandwidth or capacity limits. The CPU, with its strong single-thread score of 3,359 in Cinebench R23, is not the bottleneck, as the FPS at 1080p is high enough to suggest it is not limiting the GPU. The data clearly shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, while the CPU provides ample headroom for lower resolutions.
