What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon R9 270 back.
Processor needed for ~30 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~18 fps.
