Balance

GPU-bound (72%)

Your GPU (estimated entry-level) is limiting performance for 1440p gaming. The CPU (estimated high-end) is 2 tiers higher and has spare capacity your GPU isn't using. We don't have FPS data for either of these chips yet, so this is a spec-based estimate, not a measured verdict.
