Ryzen 7 5700X with RX 9070 XT: Bottleneck & FPS

At 1440p, a Ryzen 7 5700X + RX 9070 XT build averages about 105 FPS in AAA games at High settings, with 1% lows near 76 FPS: excellent balance. At 1080p the Ryzen 7 5700X becomes the limit (37% CPU bottleneck at 1080p); from 1440p upward the RX 9070 XT takes over and the CPU has capacity to spare. In esports titles such as CS2 or Valorant expect around 283 FPS, enough for a 240 Hz monitor, while CPU-heavy games like Microsoft Flight Simulator drop to about 60 FPS with a 60% CPU bottleneck. Ray tracing costs this AMD card more than an equivalent NVIDIA GPU: about 60 FPS with RT on at 1440p.
