Balance and Bottleneck — which component limits which workload, using percentiles and FPS scaling as evidence

The system exhibits a clear performance imbalance. The CPU’s 90th percentile rank vastly outpaces the GPU’s 65th percentile rank. This suggests that in most tasks, the GPU will be the limiting factor. The FPS scaling across resolutions supports this conclusion. For example, in Counter-Strike 2, the frame rate drops from 133 FPS at 1080p to 88 FPS at 1440p, a 34% decrease, and then to 49 FPS at 4K. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

In contrast, CPU-bound workloads show the processor’s strength. The Passmark multi-thread score of 38697 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 32544 demonstrate exceptional multi-threading capability. In games that are CPU-intensive, such as esports titles, the combination works well. Valorant’s 304 FPS at 1080p shows that the CPU can feed the GPU enough data to achieve high frame rates, but the GPU still limits the absolute maximum FPS.

The bottleneck shifts depending on the workload. For video editing or 3D rendering, the CPU is the star, and the GPU provides adequate acceleration. For gaming at high resolutions, the GPU is the clear limiting factor. The pair rank of 3026 out of 3732 by FPS shows that this combination is not optimized for maximum gaming frame rates. The average FPS of 86.7 across games is decent, but the CPU’s power is underutilized in most gaming scenarios. This system is best suited for users who do a mix of CPU-heavy productivity work and moderate gaming, rather than those seeking the highest possible frame rates.
