Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a well-balanced system where the CPU and GPU complement each other. At 1080p, the CPU’s high single-thread performance and 96 MB L3 cache prevent bottlenecking in esports titles. Evidence: Counter-Strike 2 hits 282.2 FPS and Valorant reaches 555 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed frames faster than the GPU can render them. The CPU’s percentile of 87 versus the GPU’s 83 suggests the CPU has slightly more headroom.

At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU. Cyberpunk 2077 drops from 86.2 FPS at 1080p to 62.3 FPS at 1440p, showing GPU scaling. The GPU’s 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient at this resolution, but the 192-bit bus and 220 W TDP limit 4K performance. Evidence: Red Dead Redemption 2 runs at 57 FPS at 1440p but drops to 37 FPS at 4K, a 35% reduction that indicates GPU-bound rendering.

At 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. Ark: Survival Ascended drops to 15.1 FPS, and Cyberpunk 2077 to 38.5 FPS. The CPU’s performance at 4K is unlikely to change much from 1080p, as seen in esports titles where Valorant still hits 442 FPS at 4K. This confirms the CPU can handle 4K frame generation, but the GPU cannot keep up in demanding titles.

For CPU-bound workloads like data compression (468,017 in PassMark) and encryption (22,158), the CPU is the limiting factor. For GPU-bound tasks like 3DMark Steel Nomad (4,627) and PassMark G3D (29,995), the GPU is the constraint. The combined percentile of 85 and average FPS of 183.6 indicate that neither component severely hampers the other in most scenarios, making this a balanced pairing for 1080p and 1440p gaming with occasional 4K capability.
