It has a base clock of 1575 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz. The GPU is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s. Its memory clock is listed as 1188 MHz, with 19 Gbps effective data rate. The card features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3070 Ti achieves a Passmark G3D score of 23356 and a GPU compute score of 11601. Its average benchmark score is 29945, placing it in the 75th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the data shows a similar performance envelope: it is within 0.1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile, 0.5% of the AMD Radeon RX 6800, 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, and 1.6% of the AMD Radeon RX 6700. This suggests the 3070 Ti is a mid-to-high tier card that competes closely with the previous generation's top models.

In Overpower, the GPU's role is to render the action at various resolutions and quality presets. The 8 GB VRAM is a key consideration at higher settings. The measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo averages 67 FPS, while at 4K High it achieves 80 FPS, indicating the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution. The 3070 Ti's memory bandwidth and compute capabilities are sufficient for smooth gameplay at 1440p, where it delivers 94 FPS on High and 102 FPS on Medium. The GPU’s performance relative to its rivals, particularly the near-tie with the RTX 2080 Ti, demonstrates that it remains a competitive option for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti ranks 1015 out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the upper third of all possible system configurations in the database. The rank reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU and GPU are well-matched for the game's demands. In the context of the entire test pool, this combo sits above the median, which suggests that the majority of tested systems perform worse in this title.

The rank is likely influenced by the GPU's strong performance relative to its synthetic benchmark position. The RTX 3070 Ti's 75th percentile GPU rank and its close rivalry with the RX 6800 and RTX 2080 Ti contribute to a system that can handle high refresh rates at 1440p. The CPU's 85th percentile rank also helps, ensuring that the processor does not bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios. However, the combo's rank of 1015 out of 2980 also indicates that there are many systems with more powerful components, particularly at the top end, that will outperform it in Overpower. The data shows that this is a solid mid-to-high tier configuration, not a top-tier one.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo spans three resolutions and four quality settings, providing a comprehensive look at its performance.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. On Low settings, it averages 183 FPS, which is exceptionally smooth for fast-paced action. Medium settings yield an average of 114 FPS, with a minimum of 97 and a maximum of 131 FPS. High settings produce 106 FPS on average, while Ultra drops to 88 FPS. These numbers indicate that the system is capable of driving high refresh rate monitors at 1080p, even at higher quality presets.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but scales down with increased resolution. Low settings average 163 FPS, still very high. Medium settings average 102 FPS, with a minimum of 87 and a maximum of 117 FPS. High settings average 94 FPS, and Ultra drops to 78 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a clear performance hit, but the system remains playable at all settings, with Ultra still exceeding 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to struggle more noticeably. Low settings average 138 FPS, which is still impressive. Medium settings average 87 FPS, with a minimum of 74 and a maximum of 100 FPS. High settings average 80 FPS, and Ultra drops to 67 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is just above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the 8 GB VRAM and GPU compute limits are being reached at this resolution and quality level.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 106 at 1080p to 94 at 1440p (an 11.3% decrease), and then to 80 at 4K (a 24.5% decrease from 1440p). At Low settings, the drop is from 183 at 1080p to 163 at 1440p (a 10.9% decrease), and then to 138 at 4K (a 15.3% decrease from 1440p). For Medium, the averages are 114, 102, and 87 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively, representing decreases of 10.5% and 14.7%. At Ultra, the averages are 88, 78, and 67 FPS, showing decreases of 11.4% and 14.1%.

The percentage drops from 1080p to 1440p are relatively consistent across settings, hovering around 10-11%. This suggests that the CPU is still able to keep up with the increased pixel count. However, the drops from 1440p to 4K are more pronounced, particularly at High settings (14.9%) and Low settings (15.3%). This indicates that the GPU is becoming the limiting component at 4K. The fact that the FPS does not drop proportionally to the pixel count increase (which would be a 2.25x difference from 1080p to 4K) shows that the system is not purely GPU-bound at lower resolutions. The scaling behavior points to a balanced system at 1080p and 1440p, with the GPU taking over as the primary bottleneck at 4K, especially at higher quality presets.
