Performance Summary
The Ryzen 5 5600 + GeForce RTX 4090 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 36% and 92% and GPU utilization between 58% and 100%. Ryzen 5 5600 reaches high load in heavier scenarios, while GeForce RTX 4090 becomes the primary limiter at high visual load. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 68% at 1080p to 97% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 85% to 40%.
Bottleneck Analysis
This profile is GPU-bound. At 4K (Ultra HD) High, the GeForce RTX 4090 averages 98% usage (97-100%), while the Ryzen 5 5600 stays at 40% (38-42%), indicating the graphics pipeline is the limiting stage.
Resolution Scaling
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 85% and GPU 68%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 56% and GPU 95%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 40% and GPU 97%. This shows that workload scaling is present on both components, with stronger pressure on the GPU.
Optimal Settings Recommendation
1440p (2K QHD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 56% (47-66%) and GPU 94% (91-96%), which keeps GeForce RTX 4090 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 5 5600 remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Upgrade Insight
Both components are stressed near their limits in the heaviest presets (Ryzen 5 5600: 85% avg, GeForce RTX 4090: 98% avg). A targeted upgrade should follow your target resolution: GPU first for higher image quality, CPU first for higher minimum FPS.
