FAQ

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems in Rust?

A: The Intel Core i5-13400F + RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 273rd out of 1717 tested combos, which puts it in the top 15.9% of all systems benchmarked for Rust.

Q: What is the best performance this combo achieves in Rust?

A: The highest average FPS recorded is 210.8 at 1920x1080 with Low settings. At 1440p Low, the system still delivers 170.9 FPS average, and even 4K Low reaches 102.8 FPS average.

Q: Is the RTX 4070 SUPER a bottleneck at 1080p in Rust?

A: The data suggests yes, particularly at lower settings. At 1080p Low, the system hits 210.8 FPS average, but at 4K Low it drops to 102.8 FPS — a 51% reduction. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings indicates the GPU becomes more limiting as resolution climbs, but at 1080p the CPU may be holding back higher frame rates.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals in average benchmark score?

A: The i5-13400F scores 25236 on average, which is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13620H (25201) and 0.5% ahead of the AMD EPYC 9474F (25103). It trails the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D by 0.5% (25365) and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 by 0.5% (25099).

Q: What is the GPU's percentile ranking among all GPUs?

A: The RTX 4070 SUPER sits at the 84th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scores 42653 (0.2% higher), while the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 42723 (0.3% higher).

Q: How does the RTX 4070 SUPER's memory configuration affect Rust performance?

A: The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Rust, this bandwidth proves sufficient for 4K Ultra at 45.1 FPS average, though the 192-bit bus width may contribute to the steep performance drop when moving from Medium (68.3 FPS) to Ultra (45.1 FPS) at 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC, featuring 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. Its base clock runs at 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, while memory operates at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves adequate for Rust's demanding environments.

In Rust, the GPU's role becomes increasingly significant at higher resolutions and settings. The measured data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 210.8 FPS average, but at 4K Low it drops to 102.8 FPS — a 51% reduction. This scaling suggests that while the CPU can feed the GPU at lower resolutions, the RTX 4070 SUPER's raw throughput becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. The GPU's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 554.4 GTexel/s texture rate are put to work in Rust's expansive open-world scenes, where draw distances and dynamic lighting tax the render pipeline.

The 220 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate a power-efficient design, but the data shows the GPU's performance ceiling in Rust is reached at 4K Ultra, where it manages only 45.1 FPS average. The transition from High (56.3 FPS) to Ultra (45.1 FPS) at 4K represents a 20% drop, highlighting how the most demanding settings push the 4070 SUPER to its limits in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 273 out of 1717 tested combos, this system sits in the 84.1st percentile of all configurations benchmarked in Rust. This places it among the top-performing setups, though not at the very top tier. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all processors (with an average benchmark score of 25236) combines with the GPU's 84th percentile (42576 average score) to create a well-matched pair.

The combo's rank reflects the balanced nature of these components. The i5-13400F, with 10 cores and 16 threads, delivers strong multi-threaded performance (21279 in Cinebench R23 multicore), while the RTX 4070 SUPER's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 4627 and Passmark G3D score of 29995 indicate robust graphics capability. In Rust, which can be CPU-intensive in server-side simulation but GPU-heavy in rendering, this pairing finds a sweet spot.

Compared to other combos in the database, the 273rd rank out of 1717 means this system outperforms 1444 other configurations. The nearest CPU rivals — the i7-13620H (0.1% higher), Ryzen 5 5600X3D (0.5% higher), EPYC 9474F (0.5% lower), and Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (0.5% lower) — all fall within a tight performance band, suggesting the i5-13400F's position is stable. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals (RTX A6000 at 0.2% higher, RX 7650 GRE at 0.3% higher, Radeon Pro 580X at 1.4% lower, Tesla M40 at 1.6% lower) show the 4070 SUPER holds its ground.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 210.8 FPS average, Medium drops to 166.4 FPS, High reaches 143.7 FPS, and Ultra settles at 107.8 FPS. These numbers show a clear progression where each settings tier costs roughly 20-25% of performance, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 103 FPS (49% reduction).

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low settings yield 170.9 FPS average, Medium drops to 114.3 FPS, High falls to 97.8 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 74.8 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each setting tier is consistent: Low loses 40 FPS (19%), Medium loses 52 FPS (31%), High loses 46 FPS (32%), and Ultra loses 33 FPS (31%). This consistency suggests the GPU is becoming the primary limiter at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, performance scales down further. Low settings average 102.8 FPS, Medium drops to 68.3 FPS, High falls to 56.3 FPS, and Ultra manages 45.1 FPS. The 4K Low result of 102.8 FPS remains smooth for most displays, while 4K Ultra at 45.1 FPS is playable but below the 60 FPS target many gamers prefer. The difference between 4K Low and 4K Ultra is 57.7 FPS (56% reduction), showing how demanding the Ultra preset is at this resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about the limiting component. At Low settings, the system goes from 210.8 FPS at 1080p to 170.9 FPS at 1440p (19% drop) and then to 102.8 FPS at 4K (51% drop from 1080p). This steep decline at 4K indicates the GPU is heavily taxed, as the pixel count increases fourfold from 1080p to 4K.

At Medium settings, the scaling is steeper: 166.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 114.3 FPS at 1440p (31% drop) and then to 68.3 FPS at 4K (59% drop from 1080p). High settings show a similar pattern: 143.7 FPS at 1080p, 97.8 FPS at 1440p (32% drop), and 56.3 FPS at 4K (61% drop). Ultra settings follow suit: 107.8 FPS at 1080p, 74.8 FPS at 1440p (31% drop), and 45.1 FPS at 4K (58% drop).

This consistent 30%+ drop from 1080p to 1440p across Medium, High, and Ultra suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at these settings. However, the 19% drop at Low settings from 1080p to 1440p is notably smaller, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower quality presets. The 51% drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low further confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 192-bit bus become constraints at high resolutions, even with reduced graphical fidelity. The data points to a system where the i5-13400F provides ample headroom at 1080p, but the GPU's 12 GB memory and memory bandwidth dictate performance at 4K.
