Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA RTX 2080 TiEstimated FPS in 140 games
Does one part hold back the others in Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti?
Balanced for 1440p. The graphics card is the narrower side, and at this resolution that is how it should be: more pixels load the card, not the processor. Your processor keeps headroom (66 % apart), which is why the frame rate stays steady in busy scenes. There is no reason to upgrade. At around 124 frames, more power no longer changes the band you play in.
