GeForce RTX 3070

Modelled frame rate limits of 109, 82 and 48 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, assuming the processor never gets in the way.

The slowest CPU that will not hold it back

4K Core i7-860 48

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.
