In CPU-bound scenarios, such as esports titles at 1080p, this imbalance is beneficial. The high single-thread score of 4063 in PassMark and 3DMark single-thread score of 1049 allow the CPU to drive frame rates well beyond 200 FPS in games like Valorant and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where the GPU is not the limiting factor.

Conversely, GPU-bound workloads reveal the bottleneck. In 4K gaming, the GPU’s 67th percentile becomes the constraint, with frame rates falling to 31 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077 and 30.7 FPS in Red Dead Redemption 2. The FPS scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K illustrates this: Cyberpunk drops from 63 to 47 to 31 FPS, a 50% reduction from 1080p to 4K. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where resolution increases stress the GPU’s pixel and texture throughput. The GPU’s pixel rate of 244.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 549.5 GTexel/s are solid for 1080p but insufficient for 4K ultra.

In mixed workloads, the balance depends on the task. For video encoding or 3D rendering that uses both CPU and GPU, the system benefits from the CPU’s strong multithreaded scores. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18760 and PassMark multithread score of 34470 indicate the CPU can handle heavy compute tasks, while the GPU’s FP32 performance of 35.17 TFLOPS accelerates rendering. However, in gaming, the GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions. The pair rank of 1406 out of 3732 indicates that this combination is not perfectly balanced but leans toward CPU overperformance, which is favorable for users who prioritize high frame rates in CPU-light games or productivity tasks.
