Revolution Idle

Revolution Idle is a browser-based idle game, but its benchmark results reveal that this pairing of the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is far from idle in terms of performance analysis. The data shows a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, offering a clear picture of where the CPU and GPU each take charge. The Core i5-14400F, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, provides a robust foundation for the game's calculations, while the RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory handles the graphical load. This combination ranks in the 1007th position out of 1774 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor from the Raptor Lake refresh generation, built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz are the primary drivers of single-threaded performance, which is critical for game logic and simulation updates in an idle game like Revolution Idle. The processor's 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core help reduce latency when accessing frequently used data, which can smooth out the frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21914 and a single-core score of 3093, indicate a strong balance between multi-threaded throughput and single-thread speed. This is reflected in the game's performance at lower resolutions, where the CPU's capabilities become more relevant.

At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 130.4 FPS, which drops to 98.7 FPS on High settings. This relatively narrow gap suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at this resolution, as the frame rate remains high even when the GPU is less stressed. The processor's Passmark single-thread score of 3723 further supports its ability to keep up with the game's update loop. In contrast, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate plummets to 18.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's performance in the game's context is further contextualized by its percentile ranking of 88 among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms a significant majority of processors in general compute tasks. The data shows that the i5-14400F's architecture, with its 10 cores split between performance and efficiency cores, provides ample headroom for the game's background calculations, even if the game itself is not heavily threaded.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 achieves a rank of 1007 out of 1774 tested combos in Revolution Idle. This places it in the 57th percentile of all tested systems, which is a middle-of-the-pack result. The rank is determined by the average frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, and the data shows that this combo struggles at higher resolutions, pulling its overall rank down. For context, the CPU's nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the Intel Core i7-12800H with a score of 32513 and a deltaPct of 0, meaning they are essentially tied. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 trails slightly with a deltaPct of 0.2, while the AMD Ryzen 7 250 and Intel Core i7-13705H are marginally ahead with a deltaPct of -0.2. These rivals would likely produce similar frame rates in Revolution Idle, as the game's performance is more dependent on the GPU at higher settings.

The combo's rank of 1007 suggests that while the CPU is capable, the GPU's limitations at 4K resolution are the primary drag on its overall standing. At 1080p, the combo performs admirably, with High settings hitting 98.7 FPS and Ultra reaching 60.3 FPS, which would place it in a higher percentile if only considering that resolution. However, the 4K results, which range from 18.3 FPS on Ultra to 41.9 FPS on Low, significantly lower the average. This inconsistency is typical for mid-range GPUs paired with capable CPUs, as the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher pixel counts. The data suggests that this combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming but is not optimized for 4K, which is reflected in its mid-pack rank.

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

The resolution scaling data for this combo reveals a clear story about component bottlenecks. At 1080p, the system delivers 130.4 FPS on Low settings, 99.1 FPS on Medium, 98.7 FPS on High, and 60.3 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is a 54% reduction, which is substantial but still leaves the game playable at 60 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the frame rates decrease to 86.3 FPS on Low, 62.4 FPS on Medium, 60.4 FPS on High, and 39.5 FPS on Ultra. This represents a further 34% drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, but the reduction is more pronounced at Ultra, where the 1440p score is 34% lower than the 1080p score. This indicates that the GPU is beginning to struggle as the pixel count increases.

At 4K, the performance collapses. Low settings drop to 41.9 FPS, Medium to 32.2 FPS, High to 29.6 FPS, and Ultra to a mere 18.3 FPS. The difference between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is a 68% reduction, while at Ultra it is a 70% reduction. This steep decline points directly to the GPU as the limiting component. The RTX 4060's 8 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus, which provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, are insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering in this game. The CPU, on the other hand, maintains its performance across resolutions, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The data shows that the i5-14400F is not the bottleneck; rather, the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are the constraints at higher resolutions. This is a classic example of a balanced system at 1080p that becomes GPU-limited as resolution increases.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC, featuring 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die. Its base clock of 1830 MHz and boost clock of 2460 MHz are modest for a modern GPU, but its 3072 shading units and 96 tensor cores handle the game's graphical demands. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is a key factor in the game's performance at higher resolutions, as the data shows a steep drop-off in FPS from 1440p to 4K. The GPU's pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s are adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but they are insufficient for 4K Ultra, where the system only manages 18.3 FPS.

The RTX 4060's benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 19545 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302, place it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M with an average score of 23321 and a deltaPct of -0.6, meaning they are nearly identical in performance. The Intel Arc B580 trails slightly with a deltaPct of 0.7, and the AMD Radeon 760M is marginally behind with a deltaPct of 0.8. These rivals would likely produce similar results in Revolution Idle, as the game's graphical load is not particularly demanding. The GPU's 115 W TDP and dual-slot design make it a power-efficient option, but its 8 GB VRAM is a limitation for 4K gaming. The data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the CPU's performance remains consistent across resolutions. For 1080p gaming, the RTX 4060 delivers excellent frame rates, with Ultra settings hitting 60.3 FPS, making it a solid choice for this game at lower resolutions.
