Does the Ryzen 5 7600 bottleneck the RTX 4060 Ti?
At 1080p the GPU is working hardest and the CPU has spare headroom. Being GPU-bound is the goal in gaming: it means the graphics card is fully used. This is a good place to be — the CPU headroom helps with high-refresh gameplay and future GPU upgrades.
| Resolution | Bottleneck | Limited by | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 14% | GPU | GPU-bound (ideal) |
| 1440p | 20% | GPU | GPU is your limit |
| 4K | 24% | GPU | GPU is your limit |
