This pairing combines AMD’s 6-core Zen 4 desktop processor with NVIDIA’s flagship Ampere GPU, landing in the 81st percentile overall for all desktop builds. The data shows a system built around a very strong CPU foundation and a graphics card that, while no longer current, still holds a commanding position in raw compute. Below is a full breakdown based strictly on the available benchmark data.

CPU Analysis

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) using TSMC’s 5 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The chip integrates 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, and its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 16 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, providing 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and it includes ECC memory capability. The CPU also carries a Radeon Graphics integrated GPU, though its primary role is as a desktop compute engine.

Benchmark results place this CPU at the 88th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42055. The single-thread score is 3248, which is a strong indicator for lightly threaded workloads like legacy applications or certain simulation tasks. Multi-thread performance is more variable: the PassMark multi-thread score is 21712, while integer math reaches 64733 and floating-point math hits 40784. Data compression scores are particularly high at 261749, suggesting excellent throughput for archiving or database-style workloads, while encryption scores 14865 and extended instructions reach 19924. The physics score is 1150, and random string sorting comes in at 31110.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7400 sits in a tight cluster. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS averages 41963, just 0.2% behind, while the Intel Core i7-14700T scores 41914, a 0.3% gap. The Intel Core i7-12850HX is 0.7% behind at 41779, and the Intel Core i9-12900K is 0.7% ahead at 42335. This means the Ryzen 5 7400 is essentially on par with a range of high-end mobile and desktop chips from both AMD and Intel, despite having fewer cores than some of those rivals. The data indicates that the Zen 4 architecture’s efficiency and clock behavior compensate for the core count difference in many synthetic benchmarks.

For real workloads, the 88th percentile ranking suggests this CPU handles most productivity tasks with ease. The high floating-point and integer scores point to strong performance in scientific computing and financial modeling, while the compression score is notable for server-side or data-heavy applications. The 6-core layout is sufficient for mainstream gaming and streaming, though multi-threaded rendering or video encoding will rely more on the GPU in this pairing.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 is built on the Ampere architecture with the GA102 chip, fabricated on Samsung’s 8 nm process. It packs 28,300 million transistors across a 628 mm² die, with a transistor density of 45.1M per mm². The GPU runs at a base clock of 1395 MHz and a boost clock of 1695 MHz, with memory clocked at 1219 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective). Memory comprises 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, yielding 936.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The compute configuration includes 10496 shading units, 328 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units. There are 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores, supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In terms of throughput, the RTX 3090 delivers 35.58 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio), with a pixel rate of 189.8 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 556.0 GTexel/s. The card has a 350 W TDP and a suggested power supply of 750 W, using a single 12-pin power connector. Its physical footprint is triple-slot, measuring 336 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. Display outputs include one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors. The production status is listed as end-of-life, with the launch MSRP stated once as 1,499 USD.

Benchmark scores for the GPU show a strong but aging performer. The PassMark G3D score is 26645, while G2D reaches 1063. Compute-oriented tests are more revealing: Geekbench OpenCL scores 172758, and Vulkan scores 53927. PassMark GPU compute is 15356, and DirectX 12 tests yield 110, with DirectX 11 at 220 and DirectX 10 at 182. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 5118. The GPU sits at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27565.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 3090 is marginally ahead of or behind several current mid-range options. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile averages 27435, which is 0.5% lower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT scores 27425, also 0.5% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 is 1% ahead at 27839, and the AMD Radeon RX 7800M leads by 1.1% at 27883. These deltas are small, meaning the RTX 3090’s performance is broadly comparable to those cards in synthetic benchmarks. However, the 24 GB VRAM and 936.2 GB/s bandwidth are far beyond what those rivals offer, which matters for rendering and large dataset workloads.

For rendering, the RTX 3090’s 82 ray tracing cores and 328 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced scenes and AI-based denoising or upscaling. The 24 GB VRAM allows loading very large textures or models without spilling to system memory, which is a distinct advantage over 8 GB or 12 GB cards. The FP32 throughput of 35.58 TFLOPS is substantial for compute-heavy tasks like physics simulations or GPU-accelerated video encoding.

Benchmark Performance

The combined percentile for this CPU+GPU pairing is 81, placing it above the majority of desktop builds in the database. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 42055, which ranks at the 88th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 27565, ranking at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. The CPU is clearly the stronger component relative to its peers, while the GPU, despite its high absolute performance, has been surpassed by newer cards in the percentile ranking.

The CPU’s nearest rivals show it trading blows with the Intel Core i9-12900K, which is 0.7% faster on average. That is a notable comparison because the i9-12900K is a higher-core-count desktop part, yet the Ryzen 5 7400 nearly matches it in aggregate benchmarks. The GPU’s nearest rivals include mobile and desktop options, with the RTX 3090 trailing the AMD Radeon RX 7800M by 1.1%. This indicates that in pure synthetic scores, the RTX 3090 is no longer top-tier, but its memory bandwidth and capacity remain distinctive.

The combined picture is one of a CPU that punches above its core count and a GPU that delivers high-end performance with last-generation hardware. The 81st percentile overall suggests a system that can handle demanding tasks but may not be at the absolute state-of-the-art for gaming at extreme settings. The data shows the CPU is not a bottleneck for most workloads, as its percentile is higher than the GPU’s, meaning the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor in graphics-intensive scenarios.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the FACT PACK, and the dataIsMeasured field is false. Therefore, all frame rate figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and percentile positions, not direct measurements. The CPU’s single-thread score of 3248 and its 88th percentile ranking indicate strong frame pacing in CPU-bound games, while the GPU’s 73rd percentile and 24 GB VRAM suggest it can handle high resolutions and texture-heavy titles.

For competitive shooters or esports titles that rely on single-core performance, the Ryzen 5 7400’s boost clock of 4.30 GHz and high single-thread score should provide stable high frame rates at 1080p, with the GPU rarely being the constraint. At 1440p, the RTX 3090’s bandwidth and shading units will push frame rates higher, but the percentile difference suggests the GPU may cap performance below what the CPU can feed. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary driver, and the 24 GB VRAM is beneficial for ultra texture packs, though the card’s 73rd percentile means it will not match newer flagships in raw FPS.

Given the GPU’s benchmark scores, particularly the PassMark G3D of 26645 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 of 5118, the expectation is for high settings at 1440p and playable settings at 4K in most titles, with ray tracing enabled requiring lower resolutions or DLSS-type scaling. The presence of 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores supports these features, but the exact FPS will vary by game optimization. These figures are estimates, not measured results, and should be treated as directional guidance.

Who Should Build It

This desktop build targets users who need a strong CPU for general productivity and a GPU with massive memory capacity for specialized workloads. Gamers at 1440p or 4K resolutions will benefit from the RTX 3090’s 24 GB VRAM and high bandwidth, especially in titles with high-resolution textures or modded content. The CPU’s 88th percentile ranking ensures it will not hold back the GPU in most gaming scenarios, and the single-thread score of 3248 supports fast response times in CPU-bound games.

Content creators, particularly those working with video editing or 3D rendering, will find the combination of 6 fast cores and 24 GB VRAM useful. The GPU’s 35.58 TFLOPS FP32 performance accelerates rendering tasks, while the CPU’s high data compression score of 261749 is beneficial for asset packaging or archiving workflows. Developers writing compute-heavy code, such as machine learning or scientific simulations, can leverage the tensor cores and the CPU’s floating-point math score of 40784.

Students and small business workstations that run virtual machines or large spreadsheets will appreciate the CPU’s ECC memory support and 12 threads, though the GPU is overkill for such tasks. The build is less suited for users who prioritize multi-threaded CPU workloads over GPU compute, as the 6-core limit shows in the multi-thread score of 21712 relative to higher-core rivals. The sweet spot is a professional or enthusiast user who needs both strong single-threaded CPU performance and massive GPU memory.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data indicates an imbalance favoring the CPU. The CPU’s 88th percentile is 15 points higher than the GPU’s 73rd percentile, suggesting the GPU is the more likely bottleneck in graphics-intensive tasks. In gaming, the RTX 3090’s percentile position means that at lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU may be sufficient to push frame rates to the GPU’s limit, but at higher resolutions, the GPU’s relative weakness compared to newer cards will cap performance.

For compute workloads, the balance shifts. The GPU’s FP32 throughput of 35.58 TFLOPS and 936.2 GB/s bandwidth make it the dominant processor for parallel tasks, while the CPU’s 12 threads will handle the serial portions of a workload. The PassMark GPU compute score of 15356 versus the CPU’s multi-thread score of 21712 shows that the GPU is not always faster in every compute scenario, but for rendering or AI inference, the GPU will be the limiting factor.

The lack of measured FPS data means precise bottleneck analysis is impossible, but the percentile gap provides a clear signal. The CPU is unlikely to be the primary constraint in any workload except those that are purely single-threaded or memory-bandwidth-limited on the CPU side, where the 83.2 GB/s DDR5 bandwidth may be a factor. For gaming at 1080p, the CPU’s high single-thread score will keep frame rates high, but the GPU’s 73rd percentile may result in lower FPS than a newer GPU with a similar CPU.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build pairing the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. The CPU is a 6-core Zen 4 part on the AM5 socket, released in September 2025, and the GPU is an end-of-life Ampere flagship from August 2020. The combined percentile of 81 places this system in the upper tier of desktop builds, though not at the very top.

The CPU’s 88th percentile and the GPU’s 73rd percentile create a system that is stronger on the processor side. The Ryzen 5 7400 is a modern, efficient chip with a 65 W TDP, while the RTX 3090 is a power-hungry 350 W card that requires a triple-slot cooler and a 750 W suggested power supply. The build is best described as a high-end workstation or enthusiast gaming rig that prioritizes CPU responsiveness and GPU memory capacity over raw gaming FPS leadership.

Given the GPU’s end-of-life status, this pairing represents a specific moment in hardware history, but the benchmark data shows it still holds up well against current mid-range options. The 81st percentile overall indicates a capable system for demanding applications, with the caveat that newer GPUs have surpassed the RTX 3090 in raw scores.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform, which supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes, and the GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x16. The motherboard socket is current, meaning users can upgrade to newer AM5 CPUs without changing the platform, provided the motherboard supports the newer chips. The CPU’s TDP is 65 W, which is low for a desktop chip, leaving significant headroom in most power delivery systems.

The GPU’s suggested power supply is 750 W, and the system’s total power draw will be dominated by the RTX 3090’s 350 W TDP. A sensible next upgrade would be to replace the GPU with a newer model that offers higher percentile performance, as the CPU is already near the top of its class. The RTX 3090’s successors, such as the GeForce 40 series, would provide better raw scores, though the 24 GB VRAM is a feature that may not be matched by all newer cards.

Memory upgrades are possible via the dual-channel DDR5 slots, and the CPU’s ECC support is useful for stability in workstation environments. The PCIe Gen 5 lanes on the CPU are forward-looking, though the current GPU only uses Gen 4. For a future upgrade, users could add a faster NVMe drive or a newer GPU that leverages Gen 5 bandwidth. The platform has room for CPU upgrades to higher-core AM5 parts, but the current 6-core chip is well-matched to the GPU in terms of avoiding a bottleneck.
