Overall, the CPU demonstrates a clear strength in multi-core throughput, making it suitable for content creation and productivity, while its single-core performance remains competitive for gaming.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between this CPU and GPU is best understood through their respective percentiles and the FPS scaling across resolutions. The CPU sits at the 83rd percentile, while the GPU is at the 61st percentile. This gap suggests the processor has more headroom than the graphics card, meaning the RTX 4060 is likely to be the limiting factor in most gaming scenarios. The combined percentile for the build is 72, reflecting a system where the GPU drags the overall position down relative to the CPU’s strong showing.

Evidence from the measured FPS data supports this conclusion. At 1920x1080, the average FPS across games is 123.4, which is high and suggests the CPU is feeding the GPU well. However, as resolution increases, the GPU’s workload intensifies. Looking at a demanding title like Cyberpunk 2077, the framerate drops from 53.6 FPS at 1080p to 42.1 FPS at 1440p and further to 27.4 FPS at 4K. This steep decline is classic GPU-bound behavior, where the CPU’s performance is less relevant than the graphics card’s rendering capabilities. Similarly, Red Dead Redemption 2 goes from 47.3 FPS at 1080p to 35.1 FPS at 1440p and 24.5 FPS at 4K, again showing the GPU struggling at higher resolutions.

Conversely, in lighter esports titles like Counter-Strike 2, the framerate remains high at 187.1 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 122.7 FPS at 1440p. The CPU’s strong single-core performance allows it to push high framerates, but the GPU still limits the 4K output to 65.4 FPS. The pair’s rank by FPS is 1,871 out of 3,732 pairs, placing it in the middle of the pack, with an average FPS of 123.4. This indicates that while the system is not top-tier, it delivers a smooth experience in most games at lower resolutions. The bottleneck is clearly the GPU in graphically intensive scenarios, while the CPU is rarely the constraint. For users aiming for maximum FPS in esports at 1080p, the CPU’s headroom is sufficient, but for 4K gaming, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus become the primary limiters.

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of gaming performance across a wide range of titles at three resolutions. At 1920x1080, this system is a high-refresh gaming machine. Valorant leads the charts with 422 FPS, followed by CS:GO at 407.6 FPS and Roblox at 238 FPS. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege hits 219 FPS, and the newer Siege X achieves 217.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that competitive shooters run exceptionally well, far exceeding the 144 Hz refresh rate common in gaming monitors. Counter-Strike 2 runs at 187.1 FPS, and Minecraft: Java Edition at 183.4 FPS, both solidly in high-refresh territory.

Moving to less demanding AAA titles, Assetto Corsa runs at 108.6 FPS, and Thief at 101 FPS. More graphically intensive games show lower but playable framerates. Call of Duty: Warzone manages 144.5 FPS, which is excellent for a fast-paced shooter. Control runs at 156 FPS, matching the output of several lighter titles. However, the most demanding games reveal the GPU’s limits. Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 53.6 FPS, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 47.3 FPS, and Ark: Survival Ascended at just 24.6 FPS. The Medium is particularly taxing, hitting only 39 FPS at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, performance scales down predictably. Valorant still delivers 360 FPS, and CS:GO drops to 279.1 FPS. Rainbow Six Siege runs at 143 FPS, and Counter-Strike 2 at 122.7 FPS. Warzone remains smooth at 129.1 FPS, but Control drops to 98 FPS. The more demanding titles begin to struggle: Cyberpunk 2077 falls to 42.1 FPS, Red Dead Redemption 2 to 35.1 FPS, and Ark: Survival Ascended to 16.8 FPS. The Medium drops to 32 FPS. This resolution is still viable for most games, but users will need to adjust settings for the heaviest titles to maintain smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the system is largely out of its depth for modern AAA games. Valorant still hits 288 FPS, and CS:GO 163.2 FPS, proving esports titles remain playable. Warzone manages 108.9 FPS, which is surprisingly good. However, most games fall below 60 FPS. Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 27.4 FPS, Red Dead Redemption 2 at 24.5 FPS, and Ark: Survival Ascended at 10.3 FPS. The Medium drops to 25 FPS. Even lighter titles like Fortnite run at 31.6 FPS.
