I'm also wondering why there is even a difference in FPS in higher class CPUs - shouldn't it be the GPU bottlenecking, especially in 4k high settings?
1% and 0.1% lows will almost always be CPU bound as it loads more in. Well assuming it’s not vram limiting you. Games are pretty CPU intensive these days since the PS5 and Xbox no longer have potato CPUs. At 120+ fps I regularly see >50% CPU usage in most games. And that’s with nothing running in the background. In the real world you have a ton of background tasks, YouTube videos, discord etc eating your CPU.
Also the 4090 is an absolute beast. My 5800X3D absolutely holds my 4090 back pretty often honestly.
