BOTTLENECK ANALYSIS
CPU → GPU → RAM → THERMALS
CPU BOTTLENECK
Processor keeps pace with the GPU at the target resolution.
GPU BOTTLENECK
Graphics card is the intended limiter — correct for a gaming-focused system.
RAM LIMIT
Memory capacity and speed do not constrain the workload.
THERMAL RISK
Estimated sustained temperatures remain within design limits.
