CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
6 cores, 12 threads, up to 5.3GHz, 32MB L3 cache.
CPU GPU pair
Useful stress-test pair for showing how CPU limits shrink as resolution rises.
Prioritize CPU/cache performance for high-FPS targets or simulation-heavy games.

Pair reading guide
This page compares the same CPU and GPU across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K so you can see whether the limiting component changes as graphics load increases.
For balanced gaming, the primary estimate is CPU-limited at 1440p (2560 x 1440) with medium confidence. Treat it as planning guidance, then confirm with game-specific benchmarks before buying parts.
| Resolution | Likely limit | Estimate | Severity | CPU score | GPU score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (1920 x 1080) | cpu | 43.4% | severe | 64.3 | 113.6 |
| 1440p (2560 x 1440) | cpu | 15.2% | minor | 72 | 92.6 |
| 4K (3840 x 2160) | balanced | 0% | none | 87.8 | 67.6 |

Balanced gaming
General-purpose profile for mixed engines where CPU and GPU both matter.
Results are relative estimates. Check multiple game benchmarks before buying parts, especially if your target game is unusually CPU-heavy or VRAM-heavy.
