You're always going to be CPU or GPU bound... at higher resolutions you're more likely to be GPU bound with most GPUs--- so differences between CPUs will appear much smaller.
Here's a story on CPU scaling back then the 3000 series was kind, where if you were running something in 4k max you'd see just a few FPS difference between literally any modern CPU made in the previous 5 or so years.... i3, i5, i7, R5, R9, all meh.
https://www.tomshardwar
The i9 is barely more than 3% ahead of the i3. The R9 is almost identical to the R5 at 4k.
Hell the nearly decade old now i7-4770k was only a bit over 8% slower than the leader at 4k.
Because the GPU was the bottleneck.
Now drop down to 1440p max and differences get a little bigger... i3 to i9 is now a jump of over 10%... and that poor 4770k is over 25% behind the leader... because some CPU bottleneck is leaking through.
At 1080p the gap is larger still, over 20% between i3 and i9 and almost 50% difference from that 4770k to the leader as your bottleneck is largely in the CPU now not the GPU...
Now, if you're running like a 3060ti or something, you're gonna be GPU bound a lot sooner, meaning the "CPU makes little difference" threshold will drop a fair bit.
In contrast, the 4090 finally gets us to a world where you can be CPU bound even at 4k/Ultra... (which is the only reason I finally moved from my 3600x to a 5800X3D when I upgraded from a 3090 to a 4090, since all my gaming is at 4k)
https://www.techpowerup
That for example is 53 games benchmarked on a 5800x vs a 5800x3d with a 4090 in both.
Even at 4k you see a near 7% difference on average, and double-digit differences (some in the 20-30% range) in almost a third of the games favoring the 5800x3d... certainly there's many games there still GPU bound, but a shocking # that aren't.
At 1440p with the 4090 the 5800x3d is over 15% ahead of the 5800X on average, and more in the 20-35% range in almost half of em.
