3DMARK: Time Spy

Time Spy is an excellent demonstration of GPU limits. Once you reach a certain level of CPU score, 4000 points plus, there isn’t much extra performance to be gained and it’s down to the GPU to do the rest. Which is exactly why you should spend your budget for a gaming rig on a better graphics card instead of a better CPU.
