The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 form a desktop build (buildClass: desktop) that pairs a 10-core Raptor Lake CPU with a 24 GB Ampere GPU. The data pack contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all gaming performance discussed in this analysis is estimated from the CPU and GPU benchmark scores, not from direct frame-rate measurements.

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

The RTX 3090 carries 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 936.2 GB/s. This is an unusually large frame buffer for a consumer GPU, suited for high-resolution textures and large dataset workloads. The memory clock runs at 1219 MHz with an effective data rate of 19.5 Gbps, which supports the high bandwidth figure.

The GPU's base clock is 1395 MHz with a boost of 1695 MHz. It contains 10496 shading units, 328 texture mapping units, 112 ROPs, 82 ray tracing cores, and 328 tensor cores. The FP32 compute throughput is 35.58 TFLOPS, and the pixel rate is 189.8 GPixel/s with a texture rate of 556.0 GTexel/s. These specifications place the card in the upper tier of the 30-series lineup.

Benchmark results for the GPU show a PassMark G3D score of 26645, which sits at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. The average benchmark score is 27565, and its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (score 27435, +0.5% relative), AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (27425, +0.5%), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 (27839, −1%), and AMD Radeon RX 7800M (27883, −1.1%). This indicates the RTX 3090 is essentially on par with those cards, within a 1% band, despite being an older architecture. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5118 reflects strong DX12 rasterization performance, while the Geekbench OpenCL score of 172758 and Vulkan score of 53927 show compute headroom. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 15356 further confirms the card's ability to handle general-purpose compute tasks.

For rendering workloads, the combination of 82 RT cores, 328 tensor cores, and 35.58 TFLOPS of FP32 means real-time ray tracing and AI-accelerated effects are well within reach. The 24 GB VRAM allows loading large scenes without swapping, and the high bandwidth reduces texture streaming bottlenecks. The benchmark scores, particularly the compute-heavy ones, suggest that the GPU is more than capable of handling 3D rendering, GPU-based video encoding, and machine learning inference tasks.

Usage Scenarios — grounded in the scores

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 3090's PassMark G3D score of 26645 (73rd percentile) and the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3634 (77th percentile for the CPU) indicate that this pairing can drive high-refresh monitors in many titles. The GPU's pixel rate of 189.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 556.0 GTexel/s help sustain high frame rates, though the lack of measured FPS means these are estimates based on the scores.
Streaming: The Core i5-13400F has 10 cores and 16 threads, and its 3DMark 16-thread score of 7314 and PassMark multithread score of 25032 show enough CPU headroom for encoding while gaming. The GPU's tensor cores and NVENC (not explicitly listed, but the architecture supports it) are not quantified, but the FP32 compute of 35.58 TFLOPS suggests that the system can handle game capture and encoding without significant frame drops.
Video editing: The CPU's multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 22604 and the GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 172758 indicate strong performance for video editing. The 24 GB VRAM allows large preview buffers and real-time effects. The combined 75th percentile of the build suggests it can handle 4K timelines with multiple streams.
3D rendering: The GPU's 82 RT cores and 328 tensor cores, combined with its 35.58 TFLOPS FP32, deliver high compute throughput. The Cinebench R15/R20/R23 multicore scores from the CPU (2278, 8892, 22604) complement the GPU for hybrid rendering workflows. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5118 and the GPU compute score of 15356 indicate that the RTX 3090 is well suited for offline rendering and real-time viewport performance.
Software development: The CPU's PassMark integer math score of 79942 and floating point math of 60539, along with the multi-core scores, support compilation and testing. The 16-thread score of 7314 in 3DMark shows strong parallel processing for build servers or local development VMs. The 20 MB shared L3 cache helps with frequent data access.
Student and office work: The CPU's single-thread Geekbench score of 1996 and PassMark single-thread of 3634 are adequate for general productivity. The GPU's 73rd percentile does not influence office tasks, but the 24 GB VRAM can be repurposed for academic workloads like simulation or data visualization. The build is more powerful than needed for typical student work, but it is not a bottleneck.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU uses the Intel Socket 1700 (LGA1700) platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. This flexibility allows builders to choose between cost-effective DDR4 or higher-bandwidth DDR5, though the exact bandwidth numbers are not provided in the data. The CPU is from the 13th generation (Raptor Lake, codename Raptor Lake-S) and has a 65 W TDP. The GPU has a 350 W TDP and a suggested PSU of 750 W, which leaves headroom for overclocking or additional drives. The GPU uses a 12-pin power connector and is triple-slot wide, measuring 336 mm in length.

The GPU's bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16, while the CPU supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This means the GPU runs at PCIe 4.0 speeds, which is backward-compatible and does not limit performance, as the RTX 3090 is designed for PCIe 4.0. A sensible next upgrade could be moving to a higher-end CPU within the same socket, such as a Core i7 or i9 from the 13th generation, though no such parts are listed in the data. Alternatively, since the GPU is end-of-life, a future GPU upgrade would benefit from the PCIe 4.0 interface and the 750 W PSU headroom, but the CPU's 65 W TDP and dual-channel memory are likely sufficient for most upgrades. The CPU is still in production (productionStatus: Active), while the GPU is end-of-life, indicating that the CPU is a more future-proof component.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution (estimated)

The FACT PACK does not contain any measured FPS rows for this exact CPU+GPU combination. The `measuredFpsUltraByGame` field is empty, and `dataIsMeasured` is false. Consequently, all FPS figures below are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not from actual gameplay measurements.

The RTX 3090's PassMark G3D score of 26645 places it in the 73rd percentile, and the CPU's PassMark single-thread score of 3634 is in the 77th percentile. For gaming, the GPU's pixel rate of 189.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 556.0 GTexel/s suggest it can handle high-resolution textures and effects. The 24 GB VRAM is ample for ultra-high settings at resolutions like 4K, but without measured FPS we cannot state specific frame rates. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5118 indicates strong DX12 performance, which is common in modern games. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the RX 6700 XT, have similar average scores, so the RTX 3090 would likely match their performance in games. The CPU's 10-core design with 16 threads and a boost clock of 4.6 GHz should avoid bottlenecking the GPU in most titles, though the 3DMark 2-thread score of 1880 suggests that single-threaded CPU performance is moderate.

Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU has a percentile of 77 among all CPUs, and the GPU has a percentile of 73 among all GPUs. The combined percentile is 75. These values are very close, suggesting a balanced pairing. However, the CPU's average benchmark score of 25292 and the GPU's average of 27565 show that the GPU is slightly stronger in absolute terms. In gaming, the GPU is often the limiting factor, especially at high resolutions, but the CPU's single-thread performance is adequate. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 960 and PassMark single-thread of 3634 indicate that it will not bottleneck the GPU in most games. In compute-heavy tasks, the GPU's 35.58 TFLOPS and the CPU's multi-core scores (Cinebench R23 22604) mean the GPU is likely the primary performer, but the CPU can handle the load. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7314 vs. the 2-thread score of 1880 shows that the CPU scales well with additional threads, but the single-thread performance is moderate. The GPU's PassMark compute score of 15356 is lower than the G3D score of 26645, indicating that the GPU is more optimized for rasterization than for raw compute. Overall, the system is well balanced for gaming and productivity, with no single component consistently limiting the other.

Who Should Build It

Gamers at high resolutions: The RTX 3090's 24 GB VRAM and 936.2 GB/s bandwidth are ideal for 4K and ultrawide gaming. The CPU's single-thread performance is sufficient, and the combined 75th percentile suggests smooth high-refresh experiences.
Content creators: Video editors and 3D artists will benefit from the CPU's 16 threads and the GPU's 35.58 TFLOPS, RT cores, and tensor cores. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22604 and Geekbench OpenCL of 172758 support heavy rendering workloads.
Software developers: The CPU's multi-thread scores (e.g., PassMark multithread 25000, 3DMark 16-thread 7314) are suited for compilation, testing, and running multiple VMs. The GPU can also be used for CUDA-accelerated development.
Students and small business workstations: While overkill for basic office tasks, the build can handle large spreadsheets, data analysis, and future workloads. The CPU's 10-core configuration provides a solid foundation for productivity.
Enthusiasts looking for a high-end GPU: The RTX 3090 is end-of-life, but its performance is still comparable to newer mid-range cards, and its 24 GB VRAM is a unique advantage for machine learning and large-model training.
