GPU Role

The RTX 5090 relies on a 32 GB GDDR7 memory array with a 512-bit bus, supplying 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The large VRAM is far beyond what Dave the Diver needs; all measured FPS averages reach at least 154 at 4K, indicating the GPU easily handles even extreme resolutions. The GPU’s render output units total 176, and it sustains a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, which helps smooth out the high polygon counts and layered effects common in this seafood-filled adventure.

Compute power is also substantial: FP32 and FP16 both hit 104.8 TFLOPS, and the GPU features 21,760 shading units. Those raw numbers explain why even at 4K the average framerate never falls below the 154 FPS mark. The 10nm TSMC process node and the Blackwell 2.0 architecture deliver 92,200 million transistors and a die size of 750 mm², giving enough muscle for the game’s most complex underwater scenes. In practice, the 32 GB of VRAM is never filled, as none of the measured resolutions pressures the memory bandwidth beyond its 1.79 TB/s capacity. The 4K High preset average of 174 FPS and the 4K Low of 23 start to simulate the GPU’s capability at the largest sizes, but the GPU’s headroom is clear across the board.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution changes have a profound effect on average frame rate. At 1080p, the Low preset peaks at 420 FPS, the Medium at 387, High at 345, and Ultra at 305. Moving to 1440p yields 348, 291, 260, and 229 respectively, while 4K produces 233, 195, 174, and 154. The pattern shows a consistent reduction of roughly 25% per step, but the RTX 5090 still maintains very high numbers at every siege. The data suggests the GPU remains the limiting factor as resolution grows, since the ratio of 4K to 1080p averages for each preset appears similar—all drop to about half of the 1080p value. For instance, the sample of 233 FPS at 4K Low is less than half of the 1080p Low’s 420 FPS, while the gap narrows at Medium where 4K’s 195 FPS compares to 1080p’s 387 FPS. This indicates the GPU port turns to be the primary pressure at higher pixel counts, particularly when rise in quality. The i7-12700KF provides sufficient CPU headroom to push the framerate in 1080p, but on 4K the computational limit is clearly on the graphics card. The result is that in 4K, even at the highest quality, the system remains comfortably above 150 FPS, allowing for smooth, consistent feedback.

Settings Recommendations

When all 12 measured rowed numbers are considered, the Medium preset emerges as the only quality level for which minimum and maximum FPS are recorded for every resolution. At 1080p Medium, the system holds between 33 and 445 FPS; at 1440p it range 247–335: at 4K it stays between 166 and 224 FPS. These min/max values demonstrate that the Medium preset offers stable, near-consistent performance without any dips below 33 FPS even at the highest resolution. The Low preset does produce the highest averages (233 FPS at 4K), but it delivers these high raw numbers without capturing the 1% lows because there is no min/max data, so its consistency cannot be directly measured. However, we can see that Low and High are both slightly below Medium in both average and stability once the min/max veins are accounted for.

Given the availability of certainty from the min/max data, the Medium preset stands out as the best experience for this configuration. Its 1080p average of 387 FPS is 70 frames above the High preset, and its 4K minimum of 166 FPS is nearly 50% higher than the ~149 FPS average of High. For a game like Dave The Diver, where precise timing might not be critical, the fact that Medium never dips below a re and continues to sustain 150+ FPS in all cases makes it the most recommended preset from the measured row set. The High preset is also playable, but it lacks the measured min/max.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080

At the Full HD resolution, the Lo preset runs at an average of 420 FPS, the fastest in the dataset. The Medium preset provides an average 387 FPS with a minimum of 329 and a maximum of 445. High averages 355 FPS, while Ultra produces 305. All settings exceed 300 FPS at 1080p, establishing the CPU+GPU combination as exceptionally capable in lower pixel count.

2560x1440

Medium lead with an average of 291 FPS and min 247 / max 335. The High setting yields 260 FPS, Low 348, and Ultra 229. The relative order remains the same as 1080p, with Low highest, Medium in between, and Ultra lowest. The difference between the highest and lowest average is 119 FPS at 1440p, which is narrower than the 115 FPS spread seen at 1080p.

3840x2160

At 4K, the lowest average is 154 FPS for Ultra; High averages 174 FPS, Medium 195 FPS, and the Low preset delivers 233 FPS. The Medium row again includes a min/max of 166–224, providing the only 4K min/max data. All 4K averages surpass 150 FPS, showing the system can still push forward high settings even at this extreme. The GPU scales differently across resolutions because the bus width and memory bandwidth (1.79 TB/s) become limiting as the pixel count rises; the Liquid data doesn’t show any CPU bottleneck.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF comes from the Alder Lake spring family and includes 12 cores (8 performance and 4 efficient in a commonly undocumented mix). It provides 20 threads and has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The processor uses the LGA 1700 socket and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, though the game itself gravitates toward the memory capacity.

Benchmark scores highlight its standing: in Cinebench R23 it scores 28,838 multi-core and 1,409 single-core; Geekbench multi-core and single-core numbers are 14,367 and 2,255; PassMark multi-thread is 34,092. These sit it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs. The nearest measured rival is the Intel Core i5-13600T (average score 35,303, a delta of 0.2 percent), followed closely by the Intel Core 7-12700K with an average 35,287 and the same delta. The CPU is only modestly off-cent of its nearest rivals, placing it in a strong, stable position.

In Dave The Diver, what this means is that CPU demands are relatively light. At 1080p Low, the CPU pushes an average of 420 FPS, which indicates that the 12700KF is more than sufficient for the game. The resolution and settings changes affect the GPU load more than the CPU; the drop from 420 FPS at 1080p Low to 233 FPS at 4K Low is entirely due to graphics load. The 12-core, 20‑thread processor ensures no frame time spikes from other background tasks, and with a boost of 5.0 GHz, it can handle any mini-component the game’s algorithm might send. The measured benchmarks reveal an average score of 35,365, placing it within 0.2% of its most similar android. Combined with the GPU’s high texture rates, this CPU keeps the minimum experience consistent.

How This Combo Ranks

In the exhaustive database of 3,710 possible CPU/GPU pairs for Dave The Diver, this combination achieves a rank of 68—that is, nearly 68 CPUs and graphics pairs outperform it, leaving over 3,642 behind. The ranking reflects the balanced performance of the i7‑12700KF and the RTX 5090. The GPU’s average benchmark score reaches 79,842, with a percentile of 92, while the CPU’s average and percentile of 85 and 85th, respectively. The nearest GPU rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, delta 0.3%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, delta 1.1%); the Core i7‑12700KF is ±0.2% from its nearest CPU competitors. Such a pairing naturally slides into the top 2% of the dataset.

The high percentile values and the measured 4K Ultra framerate of 154 FPS combine to place this combo in elite territory. The only combos ranked higher likely feature either an even more recent CPU or an even more overkill GPU, but for the adventure Dave The Diver itself, this configuration’s 68th position is already near the top of the measured spectrum. The data suggest that any round of competitive advantage will be theoretical, as the FPS provided well beyond what any standard display can use, even at 4K high refresh. In short this pairing still appears as strong among all 3,710 configurations, offering a high performance – measured by real framerates – while also being a fair bit above the average for the database.
