What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1650 back.
Processor needed for ~34 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~34 fps.
