Radeon RX 6950 XT

Modelled frame rate limits of 139, 109 and 67 FPS at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, assuming the processor never gets in the way.

The slowest CPU that will not hold it back

1080p Ryzen 9 5900 133
1440p Core i9-10900T 105
4K Core i7-2600 65

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.
