720p-1080p Low Older Games

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 pairing represents a desktop configuration where a mid-range, power-efficient CPU meets the flagship consumer GPU of its generation, creating a combination with distinctive performance characteristics. The measured data shows this system achieves an average of 222.4 FPS across the tested game suite at ultra settings, ranking in the 82nd percentile among 3861 tracked CPU-GPU pairs. The CPU holds an 87th percentile position among all processors, while the GPU sits in the 88th percentile among all graphics cards, with a combined percentile of 88. This is a build where the processor provides solid multi-threaded capability, but the graphics card is the dominant force in determining frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame (or, if dataIsMeasured is false, frame expectations qualitatively from the benchmark scores and say the figures are estimates)

The data set contains measured frame rates at ultra settings across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K resolutions for a wide range of titles, and these figures are actual measurements rather than estimates. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance in esports and older titles, with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive reaching 792.5 FPS, Valorant hitting 508.7 FPS, and Counter-Strike 2 achieving 359.6 FPS. Minecraft: Java Edition runs at 355.9 FPS, while Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege hits 427 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the combination is heavily CPU-limited in many scenarios, as the frame rates far exceed what most high-refresh monitors can display, capping out around 360 Hz.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains very strong but shows the expected scaling pattern. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive still delivers 544.6 FPS, Valorant maintains 483.3 FPS, and Counter-Strike 2 drops to 235.9 FPS. In more demanding AAA titles, the system handles 1440p with ease: Call of Duty: Warzone runs at 141.4 FPS, Control at 114.8 FPS, and Cyberpunk 2077 at 76.4 FPS. The data shows a clear trend where 1440p remains well within high-refresh territory for competitive games, while single-player titles stay above the 60 FPS threshold, with most landing between 70 and 150 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, and the frame rates reflect the increased pixel load. Cyberpunk 2077 drops to 52.9 FPS, Red Dead Redemption 2 hits 48 FPS, and Ark: Survival Ascended falls to 19.1 FPS, which is the lowest figure in the entire measured suite. The Medium runs at 48.1 FPS, and No Rest For The Wicked achieves only 46.9 FPS. However, some titles remain highly playable at 4K, with Call of Duty: Warzone hitting 121.6 FPS, Valorant reaching 448.8 FPS, and Counter-Strike 2 maintaining 134 FPS. The pattern across all games shows that 4K performance is generally playable for competitive shooters but becomes marginal or unplayable for the most demanding modern titles without upscaling, which is not reflected in these ultra-native measurements.

Build Overview — what this CPU+GPU pairing is, its class (desktop/laptop from buildClass), and overall tier from the percentiles

This is a desktop-class build that pairs a mid-range, power-efficient 8-core CPU with the flagship consumer GPU of its generation. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700, released on 2023-01-13 with a launch MSRP of $329, represents the mainstream tier of AMD's 7000 series, offering balanced multi-threaded performance with a 65 W TDP. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, released on 2022-09-19 with a launch MSRP of 1,599 USD, is the top-tier card in the GeForce 40-series, now end-of-life with the GeForce 50 as its successor. This pairing creates a system where the GPU is the dominant component, with the CPU providing sufficient support without bottlenecking at most resolutions.

The combined percentile of 88, with the CPU at 87 and the GPU at 88, places this build in the upper tier of desktop systems, though not at the very top of either component's respective market. The CPU's average benchmark score of 40,081 places it in a cluster with rivals like the Intel Core i9-13905H at 40,313 (0.6% higher), showing that the 7700 is competitive with higher-tier mobile processors. The GPU's average score of 60,347 is matched by the Intel Arc Pro A60 at 60,326, indicating that the RTX 4090's dominance is less pronounced in the broader comparison set that includes professional cards. The pair rank 82nd out of 3,861 CPU-GPU combinations by average FPS, which places it in the 98th percentile of pairs, showing that this specific combination is very effective for gaming despite the CPU not being a flagship.

The build class is desktop, meaning it uses a standard desktop motherboard with the AMD Socket AM5, supports DDR5 memory, and has the physical space for a triple-slot GPU measuring 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. The CPU's PCIe Gen 5 support with 24 lanes provides ample bandwidth for the GPU and additional devices, though the GPU itself uses PCIe 4.0 x16. This is a system designed for high-performance gaming and content creation, with the GPU's capabilities far exceeding the CPU's in most workloads, creating a configuration where the graphics card is the clear centerpiece.

Balance and Bottleneck — which component limits which workload, using percentiles and FPS scaling as evidence

The balance between the Ryzen 7 7700 and RTX 4090 is heavily skewed toward the GPU, and the measured FPS data demonstrates this clearly. At 1920x1080, the system produces extremely high frame rates in CPU-bound titles, with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive hitting 792.5 FPS and Valorant reaching 508.7 FPS. These figures suggest that the CPU is the limiting factor at this resolution, as the GPU could theoretically render even more frames if the CPU could feed it faster. The CPU's 3DMark 2-thread score of 2,043 and single-thread score of 1,049 in 3DMark indicate that its single-core performance, while solid at the 87th percentile, is the constraint in these scenarios. The CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 4,063 further supports this, as it is not in the top tier of processors.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the bottleneck begins to shift toward the GPU. Frame rates in CPU-bound titles drop, with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive falling to 544.6 FPS and Valorant to 483.3 FPS, while GPU-bound titles like Cyberpunk 2077 drop to 76.4 FPS from 101.7 FPS at 1080p. The GPU's 88th percentile ranking starts to become the more significant factor, as the increased pixel count requires more of the GPU's 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate. At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck, with frame rates plummeting in demanding titles: Ark: Survival Ascended falls to 19.1 FPS, Cyberpunk 2077 to 52.9 FPS, and Red Dead Redemption 2 to 48 FPS. The GPU's 24 GB VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are being saturated, while the CPU has spare capacity, as evidenced by the fact that less demanding titles like Valorant still hit 448.8 FPS at 4K.

The CPU limits the system in CPU-bound workloads such as esports gaming at 1080p and physics simulations, where its 8 cores and 16 threads with a PassMark physics score of 1,978 provide adequate but not exceptional performance. The GPU limits the system in GPU-bound workloads such as 4K gaming and 3D rendering, where its 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 output and 128 RT cores are the primary determinants of performance. The combined percentile of 88, with the CPU at 87 and GPU at 88, shows that the components are closely matched in their relative tiers, but the GPU's higher percentile and the FPS scaling pattern indicate that the graphics card is the more capable component. For users targeting 1080p and 1440p high-refresh gaming, the CPU is the more likely bottleneck, while at 4K, the GPU is the clear limiting factor.
