Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) remains important in the gaming sector despite advancing technology. It offers the advantage of enabling high refresh rates while placing comparatively low demands on the hardware. This is particularly attractive for gamers who prioritize smooth gameplay and short response times. Even though the GeForce RTX 5080 has been specially optimized for higher resolutions, the use of Full HD can provide helpful insights when analysing CPU limitations.
Summary and overview of all games in Full HD
Combining the FPS values from 11 games and determining an average value should enable a general assessment of a system’s gaming performance. The frame rates of the individual games are added together and divided by the number of games to obtain a simple average value. However, this average value is only meaningful to a limited extent, as it does not take into account the specific requirements and performance characteristics of the individual games. Games differ considerably in their processor, graphics card and memory requirements, which leads to varying performance. For example, a particularly hardware-intensive game can distort the average value downwards, while a less demanding game can have a disproportionately positive effect on the result.
The normalization of FPS values across different games serves to present the performance of a hardware objectively and comparably. As different games place varying demands on the CPU and GPU, raw FPS values are not always directly comparable. For normalization, the FPS values of all tested games are brought to a uniform scale and only then calculated as an average value. This approach allows for a balanced assessment of hardware performance that is not distorted by the specific characteristics of individual titles. I use this metric for both the average FPS and the P1 Low, i.e. the percentile with the slowest rendered frames. The GeForce RTX 5080 still takes 5.5 percent off the RTX 4080 Super even in Full HD, despite CPU limiting.
The term P1 Low describes a measurement value frequently used in benchmarks to analyze the frame rate (FPS). It indicates the value below which the lowest 1% of the measured FPS fall. In contrast to the average value, which reflects the general performance, the P1 value focuses on the representation of performance drops, which can be particularly disruptive for players. For the calculation, the measured FPS values are sorted by size, and the highest value in the lower 1% is indicated as P1 Low. This approach makes it possible to isolate sudden and serious frame drops, which occur rarely but can significantly impair the perceived game quality.
The P1 Low therefore serves as a helpful indicator to assess the stability and consistency of the frame rate in addition to the average performance. It provides insights into problems such as micro-stutters or uneven frame distributions, which can have a negative impact on the gaming experience. In this context, the GeForce RTX 5080 is around 5.7% ahead of the RTX 4080 Super, which indicates better performance even in critical moments.
In this case, the measurement in Full HD also allows us to focus on the performance of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, as the GPU is only slightly utilized in this resolution and potential bottlenecks of the CPU become more apparent. This scenario is particularly helpful for evaluating whether the CPU may have a limiting effect in modern games. In this context, I also refer to the following values for GPU and CPU power consumption, which show when which component is operating under full load:
The efficiency is then effectively the counter calculation, where you put the amount of watts used (average over the respective game) and the average FPS of the game in question in relation:
