In gaming, the CPU’s single-thread score of 951 in 3DMark and 2,943 in Cinebench R23 are strong enough to handle most titles, but the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

Looking at the FPS scaling across resolutions, the pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound system. For example, in Assetto Corsa, FPS drops from 151.3 at 1080p to 106.2 at 1440p and 64.7 at 4K, a decline that tracks with GPU load. Similarly, in Call of Duty: Warzone, the drop from 144.6 at 1080p to 109.7 at 4K shows the GPU scaling. In CPU-heavy titles, the CPU can become a bottleneck. For instance, in Microsoft Flight Simulator, FPS drops from 89.5 at 1080p to 54.1 at 4K, which is a smaller relative drop than in other games, suggesting some CPU limitation at lower resolutions.

The CPU’s multi-threaded performance is adequate for gaming, but it is not the strongest part of this build. In PassMark multithread, it scores 24,389, which is good but not exceptional. The GPU is clearly the dominant component, and for most games, the system is GPU-bound, especially at 1440p and above.
