This build pairs AMD’s Ryzen 9 9900X3D desktop processor with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER graphics card. The CPU is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 5 part on AMD Socket AM5, while the GPU is a GeForce 50-series Blackwell 2.0 design with 18 GB of GDDR7 memory. The data here is a mixed picture: the processor sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, but the graphics card’s single benchmark score places it at only the 18th percentile among all GPUs, which is a striking gap. There are no measured FPS rows for this exact combination in the FACT PACK, so all gaming frame-rate discussion below is estimated from the benchmark scores, not direct measurements.

GPU Analysis — VRAM, bandwidth, clocks, RT/tensor hardware, what the benchmark scores mean for rendering

The RTX 5070 SUPER is built on the GB205 chip using TSMC’s 5 nm process, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die. Its memory subsystem is substantial: 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus delivers 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). That capacity and bandwidth are well suited for high-resolution textures and large scene data in rendering workloads, where 18 GB gives headroom beyond typical 8–12 GB cards. The GPU’s base clock is 2325 MHz, boost clock 2512 MHz, and it has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. For ray tracing, there are 50 RT cores, and for AI-accelerated tasks, there are 200 tensor cores.

The benchmark data for this GPU is limited to a single test: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, where it scores 2690. That score places the card at the 18th percentile among all GPUs, which is a low position relative to the broader GPU landscape. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (score 2664, delta 1%), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (score 2662, delta 1.1%), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (score 2660, delta 1.1%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (score 2645, delta 1.7%). The RTX 5070 SUPER leads all of these by only 1% to 1.7%, which is a razor-thin margin. For rendering, this suggests that the card’s raw rasterization performance in this particular benchmark is modest — it is not far ahead of older or lower-tier parts. The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 32.15 TFLOPS and FP16 at the same 32.15 TFLOPS (1:1). These figures indicate capable throughput for general graphics work, but the percentile position warns that this is not a high-end GPU in the database’s ranking. The RT and tensor core counts are notable, though, so ray-traced effects and DLSS-style workloads may behave better than the raw Steel Nomad score alone implies.

CPU Analysis — cores, clocks, architecture, what the benchmark scores mean for real workloads

The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is a 12-core, 24-thread desktop processor from AMD’s 9000 series, built on the Zen 5 architecture (codename Granite Ridge) using a 4 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 16,630 million transistors across a dual-die design with a die size of 2x 70.6 mm². Cache is generous: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a large 128 MB of L3 cache, which is a hallmark of the X3D line for gaming and cache-sensitive tasks. The base clock is 4.40 GHz and the boost clock reaches 5.50 GHz, with a TDP of 120 W. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, and ECC memory is supported. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU, and the chip includes integrated Radeon Graphics. The multiplier is unlocked, and the launch MSRP is $599.

Benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 47737 multi-core and 6739 single-core. Cinebench R20 shows 20049 multi-core and 2830 single-core, while R15 shows 4811 multi-core and 679 single-core. Geekbench scores are 22884 multi-core and 3041 single-core. In 3DMark tests, the scores scale from 1269 single-thread to 12490 for 16 threads and 13795 for max threads, with intermediate results of 2512 for 2 threads, 4885 for 4 threads, and 9002 for 8 threads. PassMark results are extensive: multi-thread score of 56154, single-thread of 4646, integer math at 179727, floating point math at 119622, extended instructions at 55426, data compression at 685074, data encryption at 33282, physics at 5340, and random string sorting at 71864. The find prime numbers score is 544.

The CPU holds the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54762. Its nearest rivals are close: the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF scores 55093 (delta -0.6%), the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K scores 54053 (delta 1.3%), the Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701 (delta 2%), and the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 53620 (delta 2.1%). This means the 9900X3D is essentially neck-and-neck with the Core Ultra 5 245KF, slightly ahead of the Core Ultra 5 245K by 1.3%, and about 2% ahead of the Xeon 6505P and Core i7-14700F. For real workloads, this positions the chip as a top-tier desktop processor: the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 47737 indicates strong rendering and compilation performance, while the single-core score of 6739 suggests responsive everyday use and good gaming single-thread behavior. The large L3 cache of 128 MB should benefit workloads that repeatedly access large datasets, such as physics simulations or certain database operations. The 24 threads handle heavily parallel tasks well, but the benchmark deltas to rivals are small — a 2% lead is not a generational leap, so users upgrading from a similar-tier Intel chip may see modest gains.

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

The combined percentile for this CPU+GPU pairing is 55, which reflects a system where the processor is far stronger than the graphics card in relative terms. The CPU is at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. That gap is enormous — the CPU is in the top tier of desktop processors, but the GPU is in the bottom fifth of all GPUs in the database. In CPU-bound workloads — such as compilation, video encoding, spreadsheet-heavy multitasking, or physics calculations — the 9900X3D will be the dominant component, and the GPU’s lower percentile will not matter because the task is not graphics-focused. In GPU-bound workloads, such as gaming at high resolutions or rendering 3D scenes with heavy rasterization, the RTX 5070 SUPER’s 18th percentile position will be the limiting factor. The CPU could easily feed the GPU more frames than it can render, meaning the GPU becomes the bottleneck in most gaming scenarios.

The absence of measured FPS data for this combination means there is no direct frame-rate scaling evidence. However, the benchmark scores provide a proxy: the CPU’s 3DMark max-thread score is 13795, while the GPU’s Steel Nomad score is 2690. In a balanced system, we would expect these to be more closely aligned in percentile terms. Here, the GPU’s nearest rivals are the GT 1030 and GT 440, which are entry-level cards, so the GPU will likely hold back the CPU in any graphics-heavy task. For productivity work that does not rely on the GPU, the system will feel extremely fast — the CPU’s PassMark multi-thread score of 56154 and Cinebench R23 multi-core of 47737 are strong indicators. But for gaming, the GPU’s low percentile means that even with a 91st-percentile CPU, frame rates will be constrained by the graphics card. Users should plan for GPU-bound experiences in most games, with the CPU rarely being the limiting factor.

Who Should Build It — target users and industries (gamers at specific resolutions, content creators, developers, students, small business workstations) tied strictly to the measured performance

This build targets users who need exceptional CPU compute power but are willing to accept modest GPU performance. The CPU’s 91st percentile ranking makes it suitable for content creators who run multi-threaded workloads like video rendering, 3D modeling, or large-scale data analysis — the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 47737 and Geekbench multi-core of 22884 support these tasks. Developers compiling large codebases will benefit from the 24 threads and high integer math score of 179727. Students in engineering or computer science fields who run simulations or compile frequently would see strong CPU performance, though the GPU is not suited for demanding graphics work. Small business workstations handling database operations or server-like workloads would find the 128 MB L3 cache and high PassMark data compression score of 685074 valuable.

Gamers, however, need caution. The GPU’s 18th percentile places it near entry-level parts like the GT 1030 and GT 440, so at 1080p or 1440p, frame rates will likely be low by modern standards. The CPU could handle high-refresh gaming, but the GPU will not deliver it. This is not a pairing for gamers seeking high FPS at any resolution. Content creators who render on the CPU and only need basic display output might find the GPU adequate, but any GPU-accelerated rendering or gaming will be disappointing. The build is best for users who prioritize CPU throughput — such as researchers running CPU-based simulations or developers doing continuous integration builds — and who do not rely on GPU compute. Those needing balanced gaming and productivity should look elsewhere, as the GPU is the clear weak point.

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 FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact CPU+GPU combination, and the `dataIsMeasured` flag is false. Therefore, all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates based on the benchmark scores, not direct measurements. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 is the sole performance indicator, and it places the card at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. Given that its nearest rivals are the GT 1030 (score 2662), GT 440 (score 2645), and Arc Pro B50 (score 2660), the RTX 5070 SUPER is expected to perform in a similar range to those entry-level cards in rasterized gaming workloads.

At 1080p with ultra settings, this GPU would likely struggle to maintain high frame rates in modern titles, as its benchmark score is barely above older low-end cards. The CPU’s strong single-thread score of 6739 in Cinebench R23 suggests it could push high FPS in CPU-bound scenarios, but the GPU will cap that potential. At 1440p or 4K, the GPU’s 18 GB of VRAM and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are ample for memory capacity, but the raw compute — 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 — is not indicative of high-end rasterization. Ray tracing performance, with 50 RT cores, may be better than the raster score suggests, but without measured data, it is speculative. The 18th percentile is a hard signal: expect entry-level to lower-mid-range gaming performance. If you are building for gaming, these are estimates and should be treated as such — the actual FPS could vary, but the percentile position strongly indicates that this GPU will not deliver high-refresh or high-ultra gaming experiences.

Benchmark Performance — exact CPU and GPU scores, percentile positions, and what the combined picture is

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 54762, with a 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs. Its key scores include Cinebench R23 multi-core at 47737 and single-core at 6739, Geekbench multi-core at 22884 and single-core at 3041, and 3DMark max-thread at 13795. PassMark multi-thread is 56154 and single-thread is 4646. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 2690, with an 18th percentile ranking among all GPUs, based solely on the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The combined percentile for the build is 55.

The combined picture is one of extreme asymmetry. The CPU is a top-10-percent processor, while the GPU is in the bottom 20 percent. The nearest CPU rivals — the Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF (delta -0.6%), Core Ultra 5 245K (delta 1.3%), Xeon 6505P (delta 2%), and Core i7-14700F (delta 2.1%) — are all within a 2.1% delta, meaning the 9900X3D is competitive but not dominant within its own tier. The GPU’s nearest rivals are all within a 1.7% delta, but they are low-end parts, so the GPU is competitive only among low-end cards. This means the system’s overall 55th percentile is dragged down by the GPU; without the GPU, the CPU alone would rank much higher. For any benchmark that stresses the CPU, this build will perform excellently. For any benchmark that stresses the GPU, it will underperform relative to the CPU’s capabilities. The system is not balanced, and the combined percentile reflects that imbalance.

Upgrade Path and Platform — socket, memory support, PCIe, PSU headroom from suggestedPsu/tdp, what a sensible next upgrade looks like

The CPU uses AMD Socket AM5, which is a current desktop platform with support for DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and ECC memory is supported. The memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s, which is standard for dual-channel DDR5. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU, so the system is ready for fast NVMe SSDs or future expansion cards. The GPU uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which matches the CPU’s Gen 5 support, so there is no bandwidth bottleneck on that front. The GPU’s TDP is 275 W, and it requires a single 16-pin power connector. The CPU’s TDP is 120 W. The FACT PACK does not list a suggested PSU wattage, so no specific recommendation can be made, but the combined TDP of 120 W plus 275 W suggests a mid-to-high-wattage power supply would be prudent, though no number is available to cite.

A sensible next upgrade would be to replace the GPU, since it is the clear bottleneck in this pairing. The CPU is at the 91st percentile and has a long platform life ahead on AM5, so keeping the 9900X3D and swapping the RTX 5070 SUPER for a higher-percentile GPU would dramatically improve gaming and GPU-accelerated workloads. The CPU’s 128 MB L3 cache and 24 threads remain relevant for years, so a GPU upgrade is the logical first step. Alternatively, adding more DDR5 memory (up to the board’s capacity) could help memory-sensitive workloads, but the existing dual-channel 89.6 GB/s bandwidth is already adequate. The PCIe Gen 5 CPU lanes provide headroom for future GPU upgrades that use Gen 5, and the platform does not need a CPU change for a substantial performance jump — only the GPU does.

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

This is a desktop build, as indicated by the `buildClass` field. It pairs the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, a 12-core/24-thread Zen 5 processor with a 91st percentile CPU ranking, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, a GeForce 50-series GPU with an 18th percentile GPU ranking. The combined percentile is 55, placing the overall system in the middle of the database’s rankings, but that number masks the extreme disparity between components. The CPU is top-tier — its average benchmark score of 54762 puts it alongside Intel’s Core Ultra 5 245KF (within 0.6%) and ahead of the Core i7-14700F by 2.1%. The GPU is entry-level — its score of 2690 is within 1.7% of the GT 440 and GT 1030, which are not modern gaming cards.

In practical terms, this is a workstation-class CPU paired with a low-end GPU. The system will excel at CPU-heavy tasks like compiling, rendering on the CPU, data processing, and multi-threaded productivity, where the 9900X3D’s 24 threads and large cache shine. It will underperform in gaming or GPU-accelerated tasks, where the RTX 5070 SUPER’s low percentile becomes the limiting factor. The 55th combined percentile is a warning: this is not a balanced gaming rig, nor is it a high-end GPU workstation. It is a CPU-first build where the graphics card is an afterthought. Users who need massive CPU compute with occasional light graphics work will find it adequate, but anyone expecting modern gaming performance or GPU rendering should reconsider the GPU choice. The platform is solid — AM5 with DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 — so the upgrade path is clear: replace the GPU first, and the system will transform from a CPU-centric workstation into a more balanced machine.
