The Truth About CPU Bottlenecks in 4K Gaming

It's a common misconception that 4K gaming shifts the entire load to the GPU. While the graphics card is certainly the primary worker, pairing an ultra-high-end GPU like an RTX 4090 with a mid-range CPU will still result in frame drops, stuttering, and poor 1% lows.

The 1% Low Phenomenon

At 4K, average FPS might look acceptable, but if the CPU cannot feed geometry data to the GPU fast enough during chaotic in-game moments, the framerate will plummet momentarily. This is what causes jarring stuttering.
