Balance diagnosis

Your Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processor (Tier A, 88/100) outperforms your RTX 4060 Graphics Card (Tier C, 53/100) by a noticeable margin. This 2-tier gap means your CPU has processing headroom that your GPU cannot use — it prepares frames faster than your graphics card can render them. At 1440p and 4K, your GPU will run at 95-100% utilization while your CPU sits at 60%. Upgrading your GPU would deliver the single biggest performance boost for this build.
