At 1080p, the system achieves exceptionally high frame rates in competitive titles like Valorant (430.7 FPS) and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (459.5 FPS), and maintains over 100 FPS in many AAA games, including Call of Duty: Warzone (132.9 FPS) and Assetto Corsa (125.5 FPS). At 2560x1440, performance remains very strong, with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X running at 161.1 FPS and Call of Duty: Warzone at 118.5 FPS.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the GPU becomes the primary limitation. While the system can still run many games, it often struggles to maintain 60 FPS on ultra settings. For example, Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 30.6 FPS, and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 27.7 FPS. Some less demanding titles, such as Valorant (326.1 FPS) and Roblox (102.2 FPS), remain playable, but for the most demanding games, a resolution of 1080p or 1440p is recommended for a smooth experience. The average FPS across all tested games is 136.7, which places this pair in the top 40% of all combinations in the database.
