How to Read This
The bold bar shows average FPS (frames per second) — longer means smoother gameplay. The lighter bar just below it shows "1% low" FPS, which captures the roughest moments rather than the average. A big gap between the two bars means a game can feel choppy even if the average looks good.

What These Results Mean
This performance test looks at how well a PC with an RTX 3060 Ti and Ryzen 5 5600 handles gaming in two popular resolutions: 1080p and 1440p. At 1080p, the best game performance is seen in Fortnite, averaging 194 frames per second (FPS), while Forza Horizon 6 struggles with an average of just 32 FPS. Across all games tested, you can expect around 87 FPS on average.
In 1080p, five out of fifteen games run very smoothly (over 100 FPS), four are playable but might feel a bit rough (60-100 FPS), and the remaining six can be quite challenging (under 60 FPS). The worst performance issues appear in Battlefield 6, Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 6, GTA V, and Marvel’s War of the Rivals.
For those looking at 1440p, Fortnite still leads with an average of 167 FPS, while Forza Horizon 6 drops to a mere 27 FPS. On average, you'll see about 78 FPS across all games tested here. In this higher resolution setting, four out of fifteen games run smoothly (over 100 FPS), three are playable but may not feel as smooth (60-100 FPS), and the majority—eight games—are more difficult to play due to lower frame rates.
In terms of color codes: green means very fluid gameplay (over 100 FPS), yellow indicates it's still good but might have some rough spots (60-100 FPS), while red suggests there could be serious lag issues (under 60 FPS).
So, if you're a gamer looking to play titles like Fortnite and other less demanding games at high frame rates in both 1080p and 1440p, this setup is likely to perform well. However, for more demanding games like Battlefield 6 or Cyberpunk 2077, you might encounter some performance issues at the higher resolution setting. This rig fits best for someone who enjoys a mix of lighter and mid-tier gaming titles but prefers smoother gameplay over ultra-high settings.
