💡 General Tip: Experimenting with resolution can help find your perfect balance. Lowering resolution increases FPS but may increase CPU bottleneck.

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.

Smallest imbalance 1280x720 15.6% bottleneck · CPU-limited
