How to improve · 6 pts to D
CPU-limited — measured at the 1080p reference, a faster CPU would unlock about +58% from the GPU you've chosen (median 52 fps today). CPU: entry-level, GPU: entry-level.

Balance
CPU-bound (63%)
Both CPU and GPU sit at estimated entry-level, 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.
