Every figure below is a measurement aggregated from published review charts — the CPU's frame-rate ceiling and the GPU's frame-rate ceiling in this game, combined. Settings: Ultra preset, raster, no ray tracing, no upscaling, no frame generation. CPU ceiling measured at 1080p, Ultra preset, flagship GPU (RTX 5090 FE / RTX 4090), Tom's Hardware CPU reviews.
Balanced pairing
Expected frame rate: 93–93 fps (measured range across sources).
The two measured ceilings sit within 12.1% of each other — neither part wastes much of the other.
That range suits a 60 Hz monitor; a high-refresh panel would be underused in this game.
Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.
Radeon RX 6800 was not measured at 1440p in this game — no verdict here, and we don't estimate one.
Strong GPU limit
Expected frame rate: 32–32 fps (measured range across sources).
The GPU side is lower by about 65.7%: the pair runs at the lower ceiling, and upgrading the other part alone would not raise it.
That range sits under a smooth 60 in this game at the tested preset — expect to trade settings for frame rate.
Confidence: MEDIUM — based on 2 source measurements for these two parts.
