The extended instructions score of 16266 shows reasonable AVX/SSE performance for modern software. For real workloads, this CPU can handle everyday productivity, web browsing, and content creation tasks without bottlenecking the GPU in most gaming scenarios.

Balance and Bottleneck

The pair rank by FPS places this system at 2539 out of 3732 tracked pairs, with an average FPS of 103.9 across all tested games. This ranking in the lower-middle portion of the database suggests the combination is not top-tier but is far from the bottom. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 17326 and CPU's PassMark multi-thread score of 19236 indicate a reasonably balanced pairing, though the GPU is the more likely bottleneck in graphically intensive titles.

At 1920x1080, the CPU keeps pace with the GPU in most titles, as evidenced by high frame rates in esports games like Counter-Strike 2 (163 FPS) and Valorant (351 FPS). Moving to 2560x1440, frame rates drop by roughly 25-35% across the board, showing the GPU becoming more stressed. At 3840x2160, many games fall below 30 FPS, clearly indicating the GPU as the primary limiting factor. For instance, Cyberpunk 2077 drops from 48 FPS at 1080p to 24 FPS at 4K, a 50% reduction, while Ark: Survival Ascended falls to just 8 FPS at 4K.

The bottleneck analysis shows that at 1080p, the CPU is sufficient for most workloads, but the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting in high-resolution textures and complex scenes. The GPU's 320.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1080p but can cause stuttering in 4K with large texture packs. The system's combined percentile of 76 reflects this balance—it is neither CPU-starved nor GPU-starved, but the GPU will always be the first component to reach its limits in demanding scenarios.
