How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark data places the Intel Core i7-13700K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 at rank 1443 out of 1774 combos in Revolution Idle. This position suggests that while the CPU is a high-end part, the pairing is constrained significantly by the GPU in this specific title. The rank of 1443 is in the bottom 20% of all tested combinations, which is a notable result given the CPU’s strength. The data indicates that the system is not able to leverage the full potential of the processor in this game, as the frame rates are heavily dependent on the graphics card. The combo’s position implies that for users targeting high refresh rates or high resolutions in Revolution Idle, this specific pairing will be a limiting factor, with the GPU acting as the primary bottleneck. The overall rank is a composite of the CPU’s high percentile (93rd) and the GPU’s lower percentile (58th), with the latter dragging down the system’s overall standing.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It has a 30 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU shows strong multi-threaded performance, scoring 39000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 45887 in Passmark multithread. Single-thread performance is also solid, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5505 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4333. The CPU’s percentile of 93 versus all CPUs confirms its high-end positioning.

In the context of Revolution Idle, the CPU’s role is less demanding than in traditional 3D titles. The game’s genre suggests that the computational load is primarily on the GPU, even at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 104.6 FPS, which is the highest measured. This indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at this resolution, as the frame rate is not excessively high, suggesting the GPU is still the limiting factor. The CPU’s high core count and clock speeds are more than sufficient for the game’s logic, but the benchmark results show that the GPU is the primary determinant of performance. The CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads are likely underutilized in this scenario, as the game does not appear to be CPU-bound based on the measured frame rates across all settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how the combo scales across resolutions and settings. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are 23.3 FPS on High, 33.9 FPS on Low, 24.5 FPS on Medium, and 17 FPS on Ultra. This shows a steep drop from Low to Ultra, with the Ultra setting producing a barely playable 17 FPS. At 2560x1440, the averages improve significantly: 46.8 FPS on High, 67 FPS on Low, 49.3 FPS on Medium, and 27.7 FPS on Ultra. The jump from 1080p to 1440p is substantial, but the Ultra setting still struggles at 27.7 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results: 72.9 FPS on High, 104.6 FPS on Low, 76.6 FPS on Medium, and 47.8 FPS on Ultra. The data shows a consistent pattern where Low settings yield the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, High, and Ultra, in that order. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 56.8 FPS, which is a significant gap. In terms of resolution scaling, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 36% on High (from 72.9 to 46.8) and about 36% on Low (from 104.6 to 67). Moving from 1440p to 4K further reduces performance by about 50% on High (from 46.8 to 23.3) and 49% on Low (from 67 to 33.9). These numbers indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the frame rates drop sharply with resolution increases, which is typical of a mid-range GPU paired with a high-end CPU.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is based on the Turing architecture, with 1920 shading units, 30 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. It has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1365 MHz, with a boost clock of 1680 MHz. Its average benchmark score is 16074, with a percentile of 58 versus all GPUs. In terms of raw compute, the GPU delivers 6.451 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

In Revolution Idle, the GPU’s role is critical, as the frame rates are directly tied to its capabilities. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor in this combo, as the CPU’s high performance does not translate into higher frame rates. For example, at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 104.6 FPS, but this is a modest result for a CPU that is in the 93rd percentile. The GPU’s 6 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the game’s requirements, as the measured frame rates do not suggest any memory-related stuttering or drops. The GPU’s performance is slightly above the AMD Radeon RX 7600S (by 0.5%) and slightly below the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M (by 1.7%), making it a mid-tier part in the database.

The RTX 2060’s 58th percentile ranking highlights its position as a mainstream GPU, which is consistent with the measured FPS results. The frame rates at 4K are particularly low, with the Ultra setting producing only 17 FPS, which is not playable for most users. Even at 1440p, the Ultra setting yields 27.7 FPS, which is borderline. The GPU’s Turing architecture, with its 30 RT cores, does not provide a significant benefit in this game, as the title is not likely to use ray tracing. The data confirms that the GPU is the primary determinant of performance, and users seeking higher frame rates would need to consider a more powerful graphics card.
