Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU’s 83rd percentile rank versus the GPU’s 61st percentile rank reveals a processor-heavy balance. In most gaming workloads, the GPU is the limiting factor, particularly at higher resolutions. The FPS scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows this clearly: in Cyberpunk 2077, frame rates drop from 64.7 to 45.1 (a 30% decrease), while in less demanding titles like Valorant, the drop is from 465 to 408 (a 12% decrease). This pattern indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

However, the CPU can be the limiting factor in specific scenarios. The Passmark physics score of 1,523 and find prime numbers score of 86 suggest that heavily physics-based or single-thread-heavy workloads may see CPU limitations. The 20MB L3 cache is adequate but not exceptional, and the 2.50 GHz base clock with 4.70 GHz boost provides good single-thread performance (3,055 Cinebench R23 single-core). In CPU-bound games at 1080p, the processor’s 16 threads provide sufficient headroom, but the GPU’s mid-pack ranking (61st percentile) means it will not fully utilize the CPU’s capabilities in all titles.

Gaming Performance

Measured FPS data at ultra settings shows strong 1080p performance across the board. Esports titles dominate: Valorant hits 465 FPS, CS:GO reaches 463 FPS, and Rainbow Six Siege achieves 248 FPS. Action games perform well, with Assetto Corsa at 125.1 FPS, Doom at 154.2 FPS, and Control at 90.2 FPS. Less demanding indie titles like Barony (179 FPS), Dave The Diver (173 FPS), and Inside (180 FPS) run at very high frame rates.

At 1440p, performance remains playable for most games. Call of Duty: Warzone runs at 128.9 FPS, Counter-Strike 2 at 136.8 FPS, and Assetto Corsa at 86.6 FPS. Heavier titles like Cyberpunk 2077 (45.1 FPS), Red Dead Redemption 2 (42 FPS), and Ark: Survival Ascended (17.9 FPS) struggle to maintain 60 FPS, requiring settings adjustments. The Medium drops to 37.5 FPS at this resolution.

4K gaming is mostly out of reach for demanding titles. Call of Duty: Warzone (109.6 FPS) and Valorant (326 FPS) remain playable, but Cyberpunk 2077 (28.5 FPS), Red Dead Redemption 2 (25.6 FPS), and Ark: Survival Ascended (9.1 FPS) are not. The 8GB VRAM capacity is a limiting factor at 3840x2160, as texture-heavy games may exceed this buffer.
