Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact CPU-GPU combination, and the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. All frame rate discussion is therefore estimated from the benchmark scores. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,229 and the CPU's single-thread score of 3,494 provide the basis for these estimates.

At 1080p with ultra settings, this system is estimated to deliver high frame rates in most modern games. The GPU's 12.29 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate provide ample rasterization power, while the CPU's 96 MB L3 cache and 4.50 GHz boost clock minimize frame time spikes. Games that are CPU-bound, such as esports titles, would particularly benefit from the CPU's strong single-thread performance and large cache.

At 1440p, frame rates would likely decrease due to the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth becoming more significant factors. The GPU's 87th percentile suggests it can handle 1440p at medium-to-high settings, but texture-heavy games may require adjustments. The CPU would remain capable of driving higher frame rates, meaning the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at this resolution.

At 4K, the 8 GB VRAM would likely be insufficient for ultra settings in many modern games, potentially causing texture streaming issues or reduced quality settings. The GPU's 384.0 GTexel/s texture rate and 192.0 GPixel/s pixel rate suggest it can render 4K, but the memory capacity would be the bottleneck. These estimates are derived from benchmark scores, not direct measurements, and actual gaming performance may vary.
