CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread desktop processor based on Raptor Lake-R. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz and its boost clock is 5.60 GHz. The CPU has 33 MB of shared L3 cache, with 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core. It uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform and is built on Intel's 10 nm process. The 125 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 memory support are part of the platform context for these measurements.

Synthetic benchmark results show a strong CPU. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 44,557, and the single-core score is 6,290. Geekbench multi-core is 19,287 and single-core is 2,972. PassMark multithread is 52,425 and single-thread is 4,480. The CPU sits at the 96th percentile among all CPUs. These numbers indicate a high-capacity part that should not be the limiting factor in a low-resolution, low-settings scenario.

The measured data supports that interpretation. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 390.5 FPS, the highest value in the entire dataset. At 2560x1440 Low, it still reaches 247.9 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, it drops to 129.8 FPS. The drop as resolution increases shows the rising cost of pixel generation rather than a CPU ceiling. Even in the lowest measured settings category, the CPU is feeding the GPU enough work to maintain triple-digit FPS at every resolution.

The CPU's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarks are all closely grouped. The Intel Core i7-14700K has an average benchmark score of 70,074 and a deltaPct of 0. The AMD EPYC 9115 scores 69,887 with deltaPct 0.3. The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X scores 70,420 with deltaPct -0.4. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 scores 71,056 with deltaPct -1.3. The i7-14700KF's own average benchmark score is 70,104, putting it in a narrow band around these rivals.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is a Navi 32 part built on RDNA 3.0 and TSMC's 5 nm process. It has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit interface, with memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2250 MHz, or 18 Gbps effective. The GPU has a base clock of 1435 MHz, a game clock of 2171 MHz, and a boost clock of 2544 MHz. Its compute resources include 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, and 54 RT cores. The FP32 performance is 35.17 TFLOPS, and the card has a 245 W TDP.

In aggregate GPU benchmarks, the RX 7700 XT scores 30,097 and sits at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 scores 30,109 with deltaPct 0. The AMD Radeon RX 570 scores 30,158 with deltaPct -0.2. The NVIDIA Tesla M60 scores 29,969 with deltaPct 0.4. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile scores 29,928 with deltaPct 0.6. These numbers show that the RX 7700 XT is effectively at parity with the RTX 5060 in aggregate score, very slightly behind the RX 570, and ahead of the Tesla M60 and RTX 5070 Mobile.

In Barony, the GPU's role becomes clearer as resolution and settings increase. At 3840x2160, the average FPS falls from 129.8 on Low to 98.6 on Medium, then 83.1 on High, and finally 60.6 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the pattern repeats but at higher values: 247.9 Low, 186.4 Medium, 157.5 High, and 115.3 Ultra. At 1920x1080, the GPU produces 390.5 Low, 294.8 Medium, 248.9 High, and 181.3 Ultra. The 12 GB VRAM and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are part of the configuration behind these measured results, and the framerate scaling across resolutions reflects the GPU's workload increasing with pixel count and preset level.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Barony is 732 out of 1,702 tested combinations. This is a measured result, meaning it comes from recorded FPS data rather than synthetic prediction. The CPU is at the 96th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, but the in-game rank is closer to the middle of the field than to the top. This suggests that Barony's performance does not directly translate the component-level aggregate scores into an elite position on the game's leaderboard.

The rank also stands out because the CPU's nearest rivals are nearly identical in aggregate score. The i7-14700K has a deltaPct of 0 relative to the i7-14700KF, and the other three nearest rivals are within a small deltaPct range. The GPU's nearest rivals are similarly close. Despite those near ties in component benchmarks, the Barony-specific rank of 732 of 1,702 shows that game-specific measurement matters when evaluating this combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured dataset contains average FPS values for three resolutions and four settings. No minimum or maximum FPS values are recorded in the entry, so this breakdown reflects average performance only.

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

| --- | --- | --- |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 129.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 98.6 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 83.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 60.6 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 247.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 186.4 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 157.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 115.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 390.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 294.8 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 248.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 181.3 |

At 3840x2160, the data shows a steady step down from Low to Ultra. Low produces 129.8 FPS, Medium 98.6 FPS, High 83.1 FPS, and Ultra 60.6 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets remain above 115 FPS, with Low reaching 247.9 FPS and Ultra at 115.3 FPS. At 1920x1080, every preset is above 181 FPS, and Low reaches 390.5 FPS. The relative gap between Low and Ultra is largest at 1080p, where Low is 390.5 FPS and Ultra is 181.3 FPS, and smallest at 4K, where Low is 129.8 FPS and Ultra is 60.6 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

For 3840x2160, Ultra is the only measured preset that falls to 60.6 FPS. High provides 83.1 FPS and Medium provides 98.6 FPS, so High is the most balanced choice at 4K: it stays well above the Ultra result while offering a higher preset than Medium. Low is available for higher FPS at 129.8, but the visual quality trade-off is likely larger than needed.

For 2560x1440, Ultra produces 115.3 FPS, which is still a strong result. This makes Ultra the recommended preset at this resolution for maximum quality. High at 157.5 FPS is the alternative if extra headroom is preferred, and Medium at 186.4 FPS remains available. Low at 247.9 FPS is the highest measured result at this resolution, but it comes with the lowest settings.

For 1920x1080, Ultra reaches 181.3 FPS, which is high enough to be the preferred preset. High at 248.9 FPS and Medium at 294.8 FPS offer even more headroom, but the measured frame rates at 1080p are so high that the quality gain from Ultra is the deciding factor. Low at 390.5 FPS is only necessary when chasing the absolute maximum frame rate.

Across the whole dataset, High is the most consistent preset. It produces 248.9 FPS at 1080p, 157.5 FPS at 1440p, and 83.1 FPS at 4K. This makes High the best overall recommendation for combining quality with measured FPS stability. Ultra remains viable at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra should be reserved for scenarios where 60.6 FPS is acceptable.
