The RTX 4070's compute performance, indicated by the PassMark GPU compute score of 14720, ensures that any physics or AI calculations offloaded to the GPU are handled efficiently. The 200 W TDP and suggested 550 W PSU are modest for this performance class, and the dual-slot design with a 240 mm length makes it compatible with most mid-tower cases. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is crucial for high-resolution textures, and the 12 GB frame buffer prevents any VRAM limitations at 4K, as evidenced by the playable frame rates at that resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 374 at 1080p to 271 at 1440p (a 27.5% reduction) and further to 171 at 4K (a 54.3% reduction from 1080p). This scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases, with the CPU's performance remaining constant. The RTX 4070's rendering load increases significantly with pixel count, and the frame rate drops proportionally.

At High settings, the scaling is similar: 223 FPS at 1080p, 161 FPS at 1440p (27.8% reduction), and 102 FPS at 4K (54.3% reduction). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the game's rendering pipeline scales predictably with resolution. The Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 143 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p (27.3% reduction), and 66 FPS at 4K (53.8% reduction). This pattern indicates that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the determining factors at higher resolutions.

The Medium settings provide the most complete data with min and max FPS values. At 1080p, the Medium preset averages 269 FPS with a range of 229 to 310 FPS. At 1440p, it averages 195 FPS (27.5% lower) with a range of 165 to 224 FPS. At 4K, it averages 123 FPS (54.3% lower from 1080p) with a range of 105 to 142 FPS. The consistent percentage reductions across all settings strongly indicate that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution, as the frame rate scaling follows the GPU's rendering capability precisely.

The data reveals that the RTX 4070's performance ceiling is reached at 4K Ultra settings, where it delivers 66 FPS. This is still above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but the 54% reduction from 1080p Ultra (143 FPS) shows the significant impact of resolution on GPU load. The 1440p resolution provides an ideal balance, with High settings delivering 161 FPS and Ultra delivering 104 FPS, both well above competitive thresholds. The 1080p results are exceptionally high, with even Ultra settings exceeding 140 FPS, making this resolution overkill for the RTX 4070's capabilities in this game.
