The Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER pairing represents a desktop build that combines a capable 12th-generation processor with a high-end 40-series graphics card. The data shows a combined percentile rank of 75, placing this system above the majority of tested configurations, with a strong focus on high-resolution gaming and content creation workloads.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built around the Intel Socket 1700, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus. This flexibility allows builders to choose between more affordable DDR4 modules or higher-bandwidth DDR5 kits, depending on their budget and performance priorities. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the processor, ensuring compatibility with the latest NVMe storage drives and future expansion cards, while the GPU itself uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface.

The CPU's 65 W TDP indicates a modest power requirement, but the system requires a 600 W suggested power supply to accommodate the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 285 W TDP. This leaves reasonable headroom for the rest of the system components and allows for some overclocking of the GPU, though the CPU's multiplier is locked. The power connectors consist of a single 16-pin connector for the GPU, which is standard for this generation of NVIDIA cards.

For a sensible next upgrade, the motherboard socket and PCIe support offer paths to both newer Intel processors and additional storage or capture cards. The dual memory support means that users who started with DDR4 can migrate to DDR5 only by changing the motherboard, but the current setup's performance is already strong enough that a CPU upgrade would yield diminishing returns compared to a GPU upgrade in future generations. The 65 W CPU TDP also means that most mid-range air coolers are sufficient, keeping the system quiet and efficient.

Benchmark Performance

The combined benchmark picture shows a system that performs exceptionally well across both CPU and GPU workloads. The CPU holds a percentile rank of 73 among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 19039. Its closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS with a score of 19047 (0% delta), followed by the Intel Core 3 201E at 19056 (-0.1%), and the Intel Core i5-1335U at 18982 (0.3%). This indicates that the 12400F is well-matched against modern mid-range mobile and desktop processors.

The GPU achieves a percentile rank of 76 among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 31087. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at 31206 (-0.4%), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at 31220 (-0.4%), and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 31532 (-1.4%). This places the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in a strong position, outperforming older professional cards while remaining competitive with newer workstation offerings.

The pair ranking by FPS places this system at rank 460 out of 3732 pairs, with an average of 187.1 FPS across all tested games. This data confirms that the combination delivers smooth frame rates across a wide variety of titles, with the GPU clearly being the dominant factor in most gaming scenarios.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-12400F features 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Alder Lake architecture on a 10 nm process. The base clock runs at 2.50 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, providing solid single-threaded performance. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache, which helps reduce memory latency in demanding workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 909 in 3DMark single-thread and 5912 in max threads, with a 3DMark 16-thread score of 5895. Cinebench R23 results show 1680 for single-core and 12380 for multi-core, while Geekbench reports 1964 for single-core and 9472 for multi-core. These numbers suggest that the processor handles both lightly-threaded tasks like gaming and heavily-threaded workloads like video encoding with equal competence.

The PassMark results further illustrate this balance, with a multithread score of 19433 and a single-thread score of 3481. Data compression reaches 233327, while encryption achieves 11679, and floating point math scores 46759. The extended instructions score of 15834 indicates strong support for modern instruction sets, which benefits scientific and engineering applications. The CPU's performance is comparable to the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, with a delta of 0%, meaning that users will find similar processing capabilities in this pairing.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU. In gaming workloads, the GPU is almost always the limiting factor, especially at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that at 1920x1080, many games exceed 200 FPS, such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at 663 FPS and Valorant at 438 FPS, which suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. However, at 3840x2160, frame rates drop significantly, with Cyberpunk 2077 falling to 44 FPS and Red Dead Redemption 2 to 40.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K.

The CPU's percentile rank of 73 versus the GPU's 76 suggests a well-balanced pairing, but there are scenarios where the CPU holds back the system. In highly CPU-intensive games like Ark: Survival Ascended, the 1080p frame rate is only 44 FPS, which is much lower than the GPU's capability would suggest, indicating a CPU limitation. Conversely, in games like Roblox, the 1080p frame rate of 388 FPS shows that the CPU can keep up with the GPU when the workload is lighter.

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 1440p and 4K shows that the GPU scales well with resolution, but the CPU's performance ceiling becomes apparent in titles with heavy physics or AI calculations. This suggests that while the pairing is balanced for most users, those playing simulation or strategy games at 1080p might benefit from a stronger CPU in the future.

Who Should Build It

This system targets gamers who prioritize high refresh rates at 1440p and playable frame rates at 4K. The measured FPS data shows that at 2560x1440, most games remain above 60 FPS, with esports titles like Valorant reaching 415 FPS and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege at 234 FPS. For 4K gaming, the system can handle less demanding titles well, but the most graphically intensive games will require settings adjustments or upscaling.

Content creators and video editors will find the CPU's 12 threads and the GPU's 16 GB of VRAM useful for rendering and encoding workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12380 indicates solid performance for video transcoding, while the GPU's 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 performance supports GPU-accelerated effects and 3D rendering. Software developers will appreciate the fast compilation times suggested by the PassMark integer math score of 59995 and the extended instructions score of 15834.

Students and small business users building a workstation will benefit from the system's versatility, handling office productivity, data analysis, and light CAD work without issue. The 73rd percentile CPU rank ensures that multitasking remains smooth, while the GPU's professional-grade compute capabilities handle CUDA-accelerated applications.

Gaming Performance

The measured FPS data, which is confirmed as actual measurements, shows outstanding performance across a broad range of games. At 1920x1080, the system delivers over 200 FPS in many titles, including Counter-Strike 2 at 300 FPS, Minecraft at 296 FPS, and Roblox at 388 FPS. High-refresh-rate monitors are fully utilized, with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X reaching 360.7 FPS and Valorant at 438 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system maintains high frame rates in most games. Call of Duty: Warzone runs at 121 FPS, Control at 95.1 FPS, and Red Dead Redemption 2 at 62.7 FPS. Esports titles remain exceptionally fast, with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive at 456 FPS and Valorant at 415 FPS. The system is clearly capable of driving 1440p 144Hz monitors in most games.

At 3840x2160, performance becomes more varied. Lighter titles like Roblox (146 FPS) and Minecraft (97 FPS) remain smooth, while heavier games like Cyberpunk 2077 (44 FPS) and Ark: Survival Ascended (14 FPS) drop below the 60 FPS threshold. The average FPS across all games at 4K is not listed, but the data suggests that 4K gaming is viable for less demanding titles, while more intensive games will benefit from DLSS or reduced settings.
