High-performance 1440p build
$2,200 budget · 1440p · Maximum performance · Gaming
- Most of the CPU and GPU budget goes to the graphics card, which sets the frame rate at 1440p.
- The motherboard was chosen for the features this build needs — a more expensive board would not have added performance.

Gaming performance
Estimated frame rates for this CPU + GPU pair at the settings you choose. The numbers come from a model built on the catalog's performance scores — not from a benchmark database.
Microsoft Flight Simulator has no ray tracing mode, so only the standard renderer is estimated.

How this number was derived
- · Microsoft Flight Simulator leans on the CPU more than most titles
- · Largely main-thread bound, so CPU single-core speed matters most
- · Modelled from catalog performance scores — an estimate, not a measurement
Frame rates vary with drivers, memory speed, game version, background apps and in-game settings. Use these numbers to compare builds, not as a promise.
CPU vs GPU balance
Mostly GPU-limited
In Microsoft Flight Simulator at these settings, the GPU side is the lower ceiling.
Scale up to 190 FPS · goal 60 FPS
Both sides clear your 60 FPS goal in this scenario.
This can change with the game, resolution, preset and ray tracing. Switch any setting above and both panels recalculate.
