GPU is overpowered relative to CPU. CPU: entry-level, GPU: mid-range. (tier heuristic — one of these chips isn't in the HMF FPS catalog)

Balance

CPU-bound (50%)

Your CPU (estimated entry-level) is limiting performance for 1080p gaming. The GPU (estimated mid-range) is 1 tier higher and has headroom your CPU isn't feeding. We don't have FPS data for either of these chips yet, so this is a spec-based estimate, not a measured verdict.
