Calculation Result
Your GPU is too weak for this configuration. This may cause performance issues.
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and GeForce GTX 1060 3GB combination results in a 16.33% bottleneck. We recommend upgrading your GPU to improve performance.
Upgrade Options
Estimated FPS at 1080p (high)
Ranges, not exact figures - identical builds vary by roughly a quarter in real use depending on drivers, thermals and background load.
Method: estimated from measured GPU baseline framerates and PassMark CPU scores, capped by whichever component limits first. Workload factors derived from the OpenML "fps-in-video-games" dataset (CC-BY, Sven Peeters).
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 + GeForce GTX 1060 3GB — FPS by game and resolution
High preset. Each cell is a range; the label marks which component sets the ceiling. Blank cells mean this pairing has no measured data for that combination — nothing is estimated in.

How quality settings affect this build — Fortnite at 1080p
Dropping settings only helps while the GPU is the limit. Once the label reads CPU, lowering quality stops buying frames on this pairing.
| Preset | Estimated FPS | Limited by |
|---|---|---|
| Low | 100–167 FPS | GPU |
| Medium | 96–159 FPS | GPU |
| High | 79–131 FPS | GPU |
| Max | 56–93 FPS | GPU |
Bottleneck by resolution
Raising resolution shifts load from the CPU to the GPU, so the balance of this pairing changes with the display it drives. Note this measures imbalance, not speed — the lowest figure is usually the lowest resolution, which is not the one to play at. Read it alongside the limiting part.
| Resolution | Bottleneck | Limiting part |
|---|---|---|
| 1280x720 | 16.2% | GPU |
| 1366x768 your setting | 16.3% | GPU |
| 1600x900 | 16.5% | GPU |
| 1920x1080 | 17.0% | GPU |
| 2560x1440 | 17.3% | GPU |
| 3840x2160 | 20.8% | GPU |
| 5120x2880 | 24.0% | GPU |
| 7680x4620 | 32.0% | GPU |
