CPU-limited — measured at the 1080p reference, a faster CPU would unlock about +37% from the GPU you've chosen (median 72 fps today). CPU: mid-range, GPU: mid-range. Based on our most recent measurements.

Balance

CPU-bound (44%)

Both CPU and GPU sit at estimated mid-range, but 1440p gaming leans on the CPU — a stronger CPU at this GPU tier would unlock more frames. We don't have FPS data for either of these chips yet, so this is a spec-based estimate, not a measured verdict.
