More demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 produce 63.9 FPS, and Red Dead Redemption 2 manages 58.8 FPS at the same resolution. The card’s 8 GB VRAM becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the 4K scores where many titles fall below 40 FPS.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a system where the CPU and GPU alternate as the limiting factor depending on workload and resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s 77th percentile position relative to the GPU’s 61st percentile suggests the processor can often outpace the graphics card in lighter titles, but the GPU becomes the constraint in heavily threaded or graphics-intensive scenarios.

Frame rate scaling across resolutions provides evidence of this balance. In Counter-Strike 2, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces FPS from 209.5 to 138.4, a 34% drop, and further to 79.5 at 4K, a 62% drop from 1080p. This scaling pattern indicates the GPU is the primary limiter as resolution increases, since CPU-bound performance would show less dramatic reductions.

Conversely, in Microsoft Flight Simulator, the 1080p score of 75 FPS drops to 61 FPS at 1440p (19% reduction) and 45 FPS at 4K (40% reduction). The smaller relative drops suggest this title is more CPU-sensitive, allowing the GPU to maintain closer performance across resolutions. Similarly, Call of Duty: Warzone shows only a 25% reduction from 144 FPS at 1080p to 108 FPS at 4K, indicating a balanced workload where neither component fully dominates.

The PassMark multithread score of 24,389 and single-thread score of 3,685 for the CPU, combined with the GPU’s G3D score of 22,214, suggest that productivity applications will leverage the CPU more effectively, while gaming at higher resolutions will shift the burden to the GPU. The average FPS across all games of 135.3 indicates that for the majority of titles, this pairing delivers smooth gameplay, but the 4K results for demanding games like Ark: Survival Ascended (10 FPS) and Cyberpunk 2077 (30.9 FPS) reveal the GPU’s VRAM and bandwidth limitations at ultra settings.
