# Balance and Bottleneck

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 presents a classic case of CPU-led balance at lower resolutions that gradually shifts toward GPU limitation as resolution climbs. The CPU sits in the 85th percentile among all processors, while the GPU occupies only the 57th percentile — a substantial gap that suggests the processor is the more capable component in this pairing.

At 1080p, the data reveals the CPU's dominance clearly. In Valorant, the system delivers 360.8 FPS at 1920x1080, dropping to 303.3 at 2560x1440 and 244.8 at 3840x2160. That scaling pattern — only a 32% drop from 1080p to 4K — indicates the CPU is doing heavy lifting even as resolution increases. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive shows a similar trend: 345 FPS at 1080p, 236.5 at 1440p, and 143.9 at 4K.

However, other titles expose the GPU bottleneck more aggressively. Cyberpunk 2077 falls from 44.8 FPS at 1080p to 35.8 at 1440p and 25.4 at 4K — a 43% reduction from 1080p to 4K, suggesting the graphics card is the limiting factor in demanding modern titles. Red Dead Redemption 2 follows the same pattern: 42.5, 31, and 20.6 FPS respectively.

The average FPS across all measured games stands at 103.5, with this pair ranking 2554 out of 3732 pairs. That ranking, combined with the percentile gap, indicates the CPU is not the bottleneck in most scenarios; rather, the RX 7600's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus constrain performance in memory-intensive titles and at higher resolutions.

# Gaming Performance

The measured FPS data at ultra settings provides concrete evidence of this system's gaming capabilities. At 1920x1080, competitive shooters flourish: Valorant hits 360.8 FPS, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive reaches 345, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege achieves 185 FPS. Call of Duty: Warzone manages 161.2 FPS at 1080p, making it viable for high-refresh monitors.

The 1440p results tell a more nuanced story. Warzone still delivers 144.2 FPS, Valorant remains high at 303.3, and Counter-Strike 2 runs at 104.3. But demanding AAA titles struggle: Cyberpunk 2077 drops to 35.8, Red Dead Redemption 2 falls to 31, and Ark: Survival Ascended limps to 12 FPS. Microsoft Flight Simulator runs at 45 FPS, which is playable but not smooth.

At 3840x2160, the RX 7600 clearly runs out of headroom. Warzone remains the strongest AAA option at 122.2, but most titles fall below 60 FPS. Cyberpunk 2077 sits at 25.4, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 20.6, and Ark: Survival Ascended at 8.8. Even lighter titles like Minecraft drop to 51 FPS, and Counter-Strike 2 falls to 56.4. Valorant remains playable at 244.8, but this is clearly a 1080p-focused gaming system.
