GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

Modelled frame rate limits of 97, 72 and 41 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, assuming the processor never gets in the way.

4K Core i7-930 40

Notice how the requirement drops as resolution rises. At 4K this card is working so much harder per frame that a far slower processor keeps up without trouble. The search starts at four cores and eight threads: below that a game stutters whatever the average frame rate says.

The processors it lands closest to

The 24 processors whose frame rate limit sits nearest this card's, fastest first. The tag after each number says which part hits its limit first. For any other combination, use the calculator.
