In gaming at 1080p, the CPU’s single-core performance (Geekbench 2437, Cinebench R23 3944) becomes the likely bottleneck, limiting frame rates despite the GPU’s high throughput. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU’s 34.10 TFLOPS FP32 and 912.4 GB/s bandwidth take over as the primary constraint, allowing the CPU to keep pace more readily.

For compute-heavy workloads like 3D rendering, the GPU’s 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores dominate, while the CPU’s 27941 Cinebench R23 multi-core score supplements with parallel processing. The Passmark GPU Compute score of 15282 versus the CPU’s Geekbench multi-core of 12728 shows the GPU leads in raw compute, but the CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads provide complementary capabilities for tasks that don’t offload to the GPU. The combined percentile of 74 reflects this tier disparity, indicating the CPU holds back the GPU in some scenarios while the GPU exceeds CPU capabilities in others.

The FPS scaling evidence, though estimated, suggests that at 1080p high-refresh gaming, the CPU’s 64th percentile ranking may cap frame rates below what the GPU could deliver. At higher resolutions, the GPU’s 83rd percentile becomes the limiting factor, with the CPU’s multi-core performance providing sufficient headroom. For productivity, the CPU’s 7957 average score versus the GPU’s 41187 average score means the GPU handles most parallel workloads, while the CPU manages single-threaded tasks and system overhead.
