Good way to think of it!
With the 5,1 and a 1070, I'm at, or above 100 FPS in many of the games I play. But yes, CPU demanding games are still clearly over 70 FPS on average. Core i7s will have a similar issue as will with FPS dropping for non-GPU optimized games as well, just not as far as a 5,1. For example, GTA 5 maxed @ 1440p w/ a Core i7 7700 will not hold 100FPS either!
The 5,1 is not bad at all for gaming, even approaching "hardcore gaming" especially pushing at 1440p resolutions with maxed out quality!
With VR, which is 90Hz and 2160 x 1200 (x2) @ 1.3x super sample, the 5,1 w/a 1070 has yet to drop under 90 FPS in any of the VR games I've played (Gorn, Operation Warcade, SuperHot, Lab, Job Sim, Rec Room, etc).
