What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 950 back.
Processor needed for ~31 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-4770K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~31 fps.
