This 4-percentage-point gap indicates that in most gaming scenarios, the GPU will be the limiting factor, particularly at lower resolutions where CPU performance is less stressed. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3214 is strong enough to feed the GPU’s 20974 Passmark G3D score without creating a CPU-side bottleneck in the majority of titles.

In compute-heavy workloads like 3D rendering, the CPU’s 22772 multi-core score will often outpace the GPU’s 10963 Passmark GPU Compute score, meaning the processor becomes the primary execution engine. The GPU’s 58th percentile ranking relative to the CPU’s 62nd suggests that applications optimized for GPU acceleration will not fully utilize the CPU’s potential, while CPU-bound tasks will leave GPU compute resources idle. The FPS scaling estimates follow this pattern: at 1080p, the GPU limits frame rates in graphically intense scenes, while at 1440p and above, the GPU’s bandwidth and compute become even more dominant as the bottleneck.

The memory subsystem contributes to this balance. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5, while the GPU has 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient to feed its 2560 shading units. The GPU’s 40 RT cores add a specialized workload that the CPU cannot assist with, reinforcing that ray-traced gaming will be strictly GPU-limited. Users seeking to balance the system could overclock the GPU, as the CPU’s locked multiplier (multiplierUnlocked: false) prevents CPU overclocking, making the GPU the only component with tuning headroom.
