The GPU operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory runs across a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is substantial for modern titles at high resolutions, though the 192-bit bus width means the card relies on its high clock speeds to maintain throughput.

The AD104 chip contains 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation processors. Ray tracing performance is handled by 56 dedicated RT cores, while AI workloads are accelerated by 224 tensor cores. The GPU achieves a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s. In terms of raw compute, the card delivers 35.48 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 operations, indicating strong performance for general compute tasks.

Benchmark results show the RTX 4070 SUPER scoring 4627 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, a modern DirectX 12 test that stresses ray tracing and mesh shading. The GPU also posts a Geekbench OpenCL score of 172795 and a Vulkan score of 205624, demonstrating solid cross-API performance. PassMark results show a G3D score of 29995 and a GPU compute score of 17108. The card's percentile ranking versus all GPUs is 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of all tracked graphics cards. Its average benchmark score is 43223, placing it within 1% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (which scores 43667) — a notable result for a desktop card against a flagship mobile part.

For rendering, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 56 RT cores provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing that shows in the measured FPS for games like Control (118 FPS at 1080p) and Cyberpunk 2077 (83 FPS at 1080p). The 224 tensor cores enable DLSS and other AI-based upscaling technologies, which extend the card's lifespan at higher resolutions. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1440p ultra settings in most titles, and the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth prevents bottlenecks in texture-heavy scenes.

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

The Intel Core i5-13400F uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configurations. The CPU provides 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, while the GPU uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. This means the graphics card has full bandwidth available, and the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 support offers future-proofing for next-generation storage devices. The platform does not support ECC memory, which is typical for consumer desktop builds.

The CPU has a TDP of 65 W, while the GPU has a TDP of 220 W. The suggested power supply for this configuration is 550 W, which provides adequate headroom for both components under load. The GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector and is a dual-slot design measuring 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 42 mm in width. This makes it compatible with most mid-tower cases, though users should verify clearance for the 10.5-inch length.

The CPU is not multiplier-unlocked, meaning overclocking is limited to what the motherboard allows via BCLK adjustments. The natural upgrade path on Socket 1700 would be to a higher-core-count Raptor Lake processor, though the 13400F's 10-core configuration already handles most workloads without issue. For the GPU, the RTX 4070 SUPER's end-of-life status suggests that future upgrades would move to the GeForce 50 series, but the current card's 83rd percentile ranking means it remains competitive. The 550 W PSU recommendation provides enough headroom for a modest GPU upgrade, though a more powerful card would likely require a higher-wattage supply.

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

The balance between the i5-13400F and RTX 4070 SUPER is well-matched for gaming, as evidenced by the FPS scaling across resolutions. The CPU scores a single-thread 3DMark score of 960 and a multi-thread score of 7314, while the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score is 4627. In gaming, the CPU's single-thread performance is critical for high FPS in esports titles, while the GPU takes over at higher resolutions.

The measured FPS data shows the system's scaling behavior. At 1080p, games like Counter-Strike 2 reach 283 FPS, while Valorant hits 456 FPS — these numbers are CPU-bound, as the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions. Moving to 1440p, the same games drop to 187 FPS and 432 FPS respectively, indicating the GPU begins to take on more load. At 4K, Counter-Strike 2 falls to 105 FPS and Valorant to 401 FPS, showing GPU-bound behavior. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking versus all CPUs means it is above average but not top-tier, so in CPU-heavy scenarios like 1080p esports, the i5-13400F may limit the RTX 4070 SUPER from reaching its full potential.

For demanding titles, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 83 FPS at 1080p, 62 FPS at 1440p, and 41 FPS at 4K — a scaling pattern that follows GPU load. Ark: Survival Ascended is particularly demanding, with 42 FPS at 1080p and 16.8 FPS at 4K, showing the RTX 4070 SUPER is strained by this title. The average FPS across all tested games is 180.6, with a pair rank of 559 out of 3732 pairs, placing this configuration in the top 15% of all CPU-GPU pairs tested. This indicates the combination is well-balanced for most workloads, with the CPU providing enough headroom for the GPU to perform near its limits.
