How This Combo Ranks

This CPU and GPU pairing achieves a rank of 444 out of 3712 tested configurations in "Minimum," which places it in the 88th percentile of all tested systems. This is a strong result, indicating that the combination is significantly more powerful than the typical setup used for this game. The high ranking is consistent with the measured frame rates; the system never drops below 104.9 FPS average at 1440p and 1080p, even on the most demanding Ultra preset.

The ranking reflects the synergy between the 10-core, 16-thread i5-13400F and the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. The CPU's strong multi-threaded performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22604, ensures no bottleneck for the GPU. The GPU, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth, is more than capable of handling the game's rendering demands. In practical terms, this rank means the system is in the top tier of performance for "Minimum," likely outperforming the vast majority of other user systems and delivering a highly consistent, high-refresh-rate experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS.

1920x1080: The system can handle the Ultra preset with an average of 161.6 FPS. This is a massive headroom over the 60 FPS target, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors. Even at this high setting, the frame rate is more than double the playable threshold.

2560x1440: The Ultra preset is also the best choice here, with an average of 104.9 FPS. This comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, allowing for a great balance of visual fidelity and performance. The data shows a significant drop from the Low setting (210.6 FPS) to Ultra, but the performance remains very high.

3840x2160: At 4K, the most demanding playable setting is High, which produces an average of 74.8 FPS. This is above the 60 FPS threshold and indicates the system is capable of delivering a smooth 4K experience, though not at the highest possible quality preset. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 54.8 FPS, falls just short of the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals for each component, systems built with these alternatives would deliver very comparable performance in "Minimum."

CPU Alternatives: The i5-13400F's average benchmark score of 25292 is closely matched by several other processors. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284) is virtually identical in performance, with a 0% delta. The Intel Core 5 120 (25362) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365) are also within 0.3% of the i5-13400F. A system using any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in "Minimum," assuming the GPU remains the same.

GPU Alternatives: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average score of 31087 is closely tracked by a few other NVIDIA cards. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31206) is 0.4% faster, and the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31220) is also 0.4% faster. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31532) is 1.4% faster, and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31676) is 1.9% faster. While these are workstation or older flagship cards, their benchmark scores suggest they would produce very similar frame rates in this game.

In practice, a build with an i5-13400F and any of these rival GPUs would yield frame rates within a few percentage points of the tested configuration. The differences are so small that they would be imperceptible in real-world gameplay for "Minimum."

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the balance of work shifts between the CPU and GPU as resolution and settings change.

At 1920x1080, the system is heavily GPU-bound. The frame rate scales significantly with settings, dropping from 328 FPS at Low to 161.6 FPS at Ultra, a reduction of over 50%. This shows the GPU's workload is increasing substantially with visual complexity. The CPU, with its high single-thread score of 3191 in Cinebench R23, is able to keep up with the GPU's frame generation, even at the very high frame rates seen at Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the scaling pattern continues, but the GPU's load increases further. The frame rate drops from 210.6 FPS at Low to 104.9 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is less pronounced than at 1080p, which indicates the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases. The CPU's role is diminishing, but it still provides sufficient performance to avoid limiting the system.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's dominance is clear. The performance drop from Low (116.3 FPS) to Ultra (54.8 FPS) is massive. The system is now squarely limited by the GPU's rendering throughput, as the 4K resolution and Ultra settings create a significant pixel and shading workload. The CPU is no longer a factor; the difference between presets is purely a function of GPU performance. The fact that Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold while High remains above it highlights the GPU being the critical component at this resolution.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run "Minimum" exceptionally well. The verdict by resolution is clear:

• 1920x1080: Absolutely. The system achieves a playable average of 161.6 FPS at Ultra settings, providing a flawless experience with maximum visual quality.
• 2560x1440: Absolutely. It delivers a playable average of 104.9 FPS at Ultra settings, making it an excellent choice for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming.
• 3840x2160: Yes, with a caveat. The system maintains a playable average of 74.8 FPS at High settings, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. However, the Ultra preset at 54.8 FPS is not playable by this standard.

In short, this combination is overkill for 1080p and 1440p, offering top-tier performance. At 4K, it provides a smooth experience as long as the settings are kept to High or below. This is a very capable system for "Minimum," ensuring a highly responsive and visually rich experience across all common gaming resolutions.
