Counter-Strike 2

Counter-Strike 2 is a first-person shooter, and the measured results for the Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 show a wide performance spread: the fastest average is 495 fps at 1080p Low, while the slowest is 88.2 fps at 4K Ultra. The CPU is a 20-core, 28-thread Raptor Lake part with a 5.40 GHz boost clock, and the GPU is an RDNA 4.0 card with 16 GB of GDDR6. In Counter-Strike 2, this combination ranks 536th out of 1,632 tested combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution ladder produces a consistent pattern across every settings preset. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo averages 495 fps. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops the average to 327 fps, and at 3840x2160 Low the result is 186.8 fps. The Medium preset follows the same shape: 411.8 fps at 1080p, 271.3 fps at 1440p, and 152.2 fps at 4K. High settings start at 309.6 fps at 1080p, fall to 203.9 fps at 1440p, and end at 112.6 fps at 4K. Ultra settings deliver 237.5 fps at 1080p, 155.7 fps at 1440p, and 88.2 fps at 4K.

The frame rate drops as resolution increases, which shows the GPU taking on more work at higher pixel counts. At 1080p Low, the 495 fps result is the highest reading in the dataset, and the CPU’s 20 cores and 28 threads are clearly capable of supporting very high output. At 4K Ultra, the 88.2 fps result is still above playability thresholds, but the GPU is the component being stressed most by the additional pixels. The gap between 1440p and 4K is large across all presets, reinforcing that the Radeon RX 9070 is the primary scaling factor once resolution rises. The data does not include minimum or maximum frame times, so this analysis is based on average FPS only.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 is built on the Navi 48 chip using RDNA 4.0. Its listed clocks are 1330 MHz base, 2070 MHz game clock, and 2520 MHz boost. The processing core contains 3584 shading units, 224 texture units, 128 ROPs, and 56 RT cores. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, with a 2518 MHz memory clock and 20.1 Gbps effective transfer speed. That memory subsystem produces 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The card is a dual-slot design rated at 220 W TDP, with two 8-pin power connectors and a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface.

These specifications line up with the measured Counter-Strike 2 results. The 16 GB frame buffer and 644.6 GB/s bandwidth support the 4K High result of 112.6 fps and the 4K Ultra result of 88.2 fps. At 1080p Low, the same GPU is not the limiting factor, since the combo reaches 495 fps. The GPU’s aggregate benchmark score is 34,780, placing it in the 79th percentile among all GPUs. That aggregate standing is consistent with the in-game data: the RX 9070 is strong enough to hold high frame rates at 4K while leaving enough CPU headroom for extremely high results at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

Within Counter-Strike 2, the Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 combination is ranked 536th out of 1,632 tested combos. That position places it above the midpoint of the tested pool, while a number of combinations still produce higher averages. The component-level percentiles are consistent with that outcome: the CPU sits in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU sits in the 79th percentile among all GPUs.

The CPU’s aggregate benchmark score is 54,097. That puts it 0.6% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, 1.2% ahead of the Intel Xeon Phi 7290, and 1.7% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7313P. The GPU’s aggregate score is 34,780, placing it 0.2% behind the NVIDIA A2 and 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro GV100. These aggregate comparisons are not game-specific, but they characterize the hardware tier this combo occupies. In Counter-Strike 2 specifically, the measured FPS data shows a configuration that is fast at every resolution and every settings preset, with the highest result reaching 495 fps and the lowest still clearing 88 fps.
