A: The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has an average benchmark score of 48704. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, has a score of 49071, which is a 0.7% difference, showing that the 4070 Ti SUPER is competitively positioned within its performance class.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the limiting factor at 1080p?

A: At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 248.7 FPS, suggesting the CPU is keeping pace. However, the scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a larger drop, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions, which provides insight into the system’s bottleneck dynamics. Starting at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 248.7 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings, the frame rate drops to 220.2 FPS, a reduction of roughly 11.5%. At 4K (3840x2160) with Low settings, the average FPS falls to 187.2, which is a 24.7% drop from the 1080p figure.

This scaling behavior indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at lower resolutions, but the GPU’s rendering load becomes more significant as resolution increases. The drop from 1440p to 4K is more pronounced than the drop from 1080p to 1440p, which is expected as the number of pixels quadruples. For instance, at High settings, the system delivers 146.6 FPS at 1080p, 129.4 FPS at 1440p, and 109.5 FPS at 4K. The consistent decrease suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting component at higher resolutions, while the i7-13700K has enough headroom to avoid being a bottleneck.

The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system still maintains 91.1 FPS, which is playable, but the performance cost of Ultra settings is evident. The scaling from Medium to Ultra at 4K results in a drop from 117 FPS to 91.1 FPS, a 22.1% reduction. This indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by the higher settings and resolution combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for Overpower provide a comprehensive look at how this combo performs across all resolution and settings combinations. At 1080p, the system is clearly GPU-bound at higher settings, but the CPU keeps up well. The lowest average FPS at this resolution is 121.8 at Ultra settings, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. Ultra settings yield an average of 105.3 FPS, while High settings deliver 129.4 FPS. Low settings at 1440p push the frame rate to 220.2 FPS, showing that the combo can handle e-sports level frame rates if visual fidelity is reduced.

The 4K results demonstrate the GPU’s capability, though with more compromise. High settings produce 109.5 FPS, which is excellent for 4K gaming. Medium settings deliver 117 FPS, and even Ultra settings hold at 91.1 FPS. The biggest surprise is the Low settings result at 187.2 FPS, which shows that the combo is not CPU-limited even at 4K when the GPU load is reduced.

Here is a full breakdown of the average FPS numbers:

• 1920x1080: Low 248.7; Medium 154.1; High 146.6; Ultra 121.8
• 2560x1440: Low 220.2; Medium 140.1; High 129.4; Ultra 105.3
• 3840x2160: Low 187.2; Medium 117; High 109.5; Ultra 91.1

The spread between Low and Ultra settings is largest at 1080p, where the difference is 126.9 FPS. This gap narrows as resolution increases, with a 96.1 FPS difference at 4K. This suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is not the bottleneck, and the CPU can push high frame rates, while at 4K, the GPU’s rendering limits the maximum output.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER plays a critical role in determining Overpower’s performance, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for handling large texture datasets and high-resolution rendering. The GPU’s 8448 shading units and 264 texture mapping units allow it to process complex scenes efficiently.

The card operates at a base clock of 2340 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). This clock configuration enables the GPU to achieve a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS is a strong indicator of its raw compute capability for gaming workloads.

In the benchmark results, the GPU’s influence is most apparent when comparing Low to Ultra settings. At 4K, Low settings yield 187.2 FPS, but Ultra drops to 91.1 FPS, a 51.3% reduction. This shows that the GPU’s shading units and memory bandwidth are heavily taxed by the increased graphical demands of Ultra settings.

The GPU’s average benchmark score of 48704 places it at the 86th percentile, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, is only 0.7% faster. This indicates that the 4070 Ti SUPER is a high-tier performer, though not the absolute fastest available. The 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores also contribute to the card’s ability to handle modern rendering techniques, though their specific impact on Overpower is not directly measured in the FPS data.

Overall, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER serves as the primary performance driver in this combo at 4K, where the CPU has sufficient headroom. The 16 GB of VRAM is a significant advantage, ensuring that the game does not run into memory limitations even at Ultra settings.
