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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p, the system is heavily GPU-bound at lower settings, but the CPU still has headroom. Moving from 1080p Low (476 fps) to 1080p High (284 fps) shows a 40% drop, which is typical as more shading and lighting work is added. At 1080p Ultra, the average falls to 183 fps, a 62% reduction from Low.

When moving to 1440p, the frame rates drop further. At 1440p Low, the system hits 344 fps, which is 72% of the 1080p Low number. At 1440p High, it reaches 205 fps (72% of 1080p High), and at 1440p Ultra, it drops to 132 fps (72% of 1080p Ultra). This consistent 28% reduction across all settings indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the resolution increase proportionally increases pixel count.

At 4K, the scaling becomes more dramatic. 4K Low delivers 218 fps, which is 46% of the 1080p Low score. 4K High gives 130 fps (46% of 1080p High), and 4K Ultra drops to 83 fps (45% of 1080p Ultra). The 4K resolution has four times the pixels of 1080p, but the frame rate doesn't drop to 25%—it only drops to about 46%. This suggests that at 4K, the CPU starts to play a larger role, as the GPU is still powerful enough to push high frame rates but the CPU's single-thread performance becomes more relevant.

The data shows that this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it delivers over 200 fps on High settings and 132 fps on Ultra. At 4K, it remains playable on High (130 fps) but drops below 90 fps on Ultra, which is still acceptable for a sports title. The limiting component at 1080p and 1440p is clearly the GPU, as frame rates scale almost linearly with resolution. At 4K, the CPU's 77th percentile performance starts to become a factor, but the system still delivers excellent results.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. All numbers are average FPS unless otherwise noted.

1080p (1920x1080):

• Low: 476 fps average
• Medium: 343 fps average, with a minimum of 291 fps and maximum of 394 fps
• High: 284 fps average
• Ultra: 183 fps average

1440p (2560x1440):

• Low: 344 fps average
• Medium: 248 fps average, with a minimum of 211 fps and maximum of 285 fps
• High: 205 fps average
• Ultra: 132 fps average

4K (3840x2160):

• Low: 218 fps average
• Medium: 157 fps average, with a minimum of 133 fps and maximum of 180 fps
• High: 130 fps average
• Ultra: 83 fps average

The Medium settings are the only ones with min/max data, which gives insight into frame consistency. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate swings between 291 and 394 fps, a variance of 103 fps. At 1440p Medium, the range is 211 to 285 fps, a 74 fps swing. At 4K Medium, the range narrows to 133 to 180 fps, a 47 fps swing. This indicates that at higher resolutions, frame pacing becomes more stable, likely due to reduced CPU load relative to GPU work.

The scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, Ultra is 38% of Low (183/476). At 1440p, Ultra is 38% of Low (132/344). At 4K, Ultra is 38% of Low (83/218). This uniformity suggests the settings presets affect graphical load in a proportional way, and the GPU handles the increased work without unexpected bottlenecks.

The jump from 1080p to 1440p results in a 28% FPS drop across all settings. The jump from 1440p to 4K results in a 37% drop across all settings. This shows that 4K is more demanding per pixel than 1440p, likely due to increased shading complexity at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target display and preference for consistency versus raw speed.

For 1080p displays, the Low preset delivers 476 fps, which is far beyond any monitor's refresh rate. Medium at 343 fps is still excessive for most displays, but the min/max data (291-394 fps) shows good consistency. High at 284 fps is the sweet spot for 240Hz monitors, providing a 44% improvement in visual quality over Medium while still exceeding most refresh rates. Ultra at 183 fps is the best choice for 144Hz displays, offering the highest visual fidelity while staying above the refresh threshold.

At 1440p, the situation is similar. Low delivers 344 fps, which is overkill. Medium at 248 fps is ideal for 240Hz panels, with a min of 211 fps ensuring no drops below the refresh rate. High at 205 fps is perfect for 200Hz monitors, providing better visuals than Medium. Ultra at 132 fps is the choice for 120Hz displays, though the lack of min/max data means frame pacing is unknown. Given the 4K Medium min of 133 fps, the 1440p Ultra likely has a min above 100 fps, making it safe for 120Hz.

At 4K, the settings choices become more critical. Low delivers 218 fps, which is excellent for 144Hz displays. Medium at 157 fps is ideal for 144Hz as well, with a min of 133 fps ensuring no drops below 120Hz. High at 130 fps is the best balance for 120Hz screens, offering superior visuals to Medium. Ultra at 83 fps is only suitable for 60Hz displays, and even then, the lack of min/max data is a concern—the 4K Medium min of 133 fps suggests Ultra might dip below 60 fps in demanding scenes.

For the best experience, the data suggests using High settings at 1080p or 1440p for a balance of visual quality and headroom. At 4K, Medium is the recommended preset, as it delivers 157 fps average with a 133 fps minimum, ensuring smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate displays. Ultra is only viable for 60Hz panels, and even then, the 83 fps average provides no headroom for frame drops. The Low preset is unnecessary for most users, as the GPU is powerful enough to handle higher settings without sacrificing playability.
