The pairing of Intel's Core i5-13400F with NVIDIA's Quadro RTX 4000 is a workstation-class desktop combination: a current-generation, actively produced mid-range CPU joined to an end-of-life professional GPU. The data places the CPU at the 77th percentile against all processors and the GPU at the 61st percentile against all graphics cards, producing a combined percentile of 69. The headline verdict is that the processor is the stronger of the two halves, while the Quadro RTX 4000 — a Turing-based professional card released in 2018 at a launch MSRP of 899 USD — sets the ceiling for rendering and gaming throughput. Notably, no measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the database; all frame-rate discussion below is estimated from benchmark scores rather than directly measured play.

GPU Analysis

The Quadro RTX 4000 is built on the TU104 chip, a 12 nm TSMC part spanning 545 mm² with 13,600 million transistors at a density of 25.0M per mm². Despite the database listing its series as "GeForce 40-series," its architecture is Turing and its generation is Quadro Turing (Tx000) — the professional line that succeeded Quadro Volta and was itself succeeded by Workstation Ampere. That generational context matters: this is a card from the launch window of November 2018, now flagged as end-of-life.

Its raw specifications read as mid-range professional hardware. There are 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, fed by 8 GB of GDDR6 across a 256-bit bus running at 13 Gbps effective (1625 MHz memory clock). That yields 416.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth — a figure that comfortably supports the card's 7.119 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput and 14.24 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1) compute. Pixel fill rate is 98.88 GPixel/s and texture fill rate is 222.5 GTexel/s. Critically for a workstation card, it carries 36 RT cores and 288 tensor cores, which is exactly the hardware professional rendering pipelines exploit: RT cores accelerate ray-triangle intersection in offline renderers and viewport ray tracing, while tensor cores accelerate denoising and AI-assisted rendering features.

Clocks are modest: 1005 MHz base and 1545 MHz boost. The card is a single-slot design drawing 160 W through one 8-pin connector, with a suggested PSU of 450 W — unusual density for this performance class and a genuine advantage in compact workstation builds. Display output consists of 3x DisplayPort 1.4a plus 1x USB Type-C, and the bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x16, meaning it will run at PCIe 3.0 speeds even in the CPU's Gen 5-capable platform. API support extends to DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The benchmark picture for rendering is respectable rather than spectacular. A PassMark G3D score of 15117 and average GPU benchmark score of 17789 place it at the 61st percentile of all GPUs. Geekbench OpenCL lands at 74540 and Vulkan at 78844 — the Vulkan result being the better of the two compute paths. The PassMark GPU compute score of 6176 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1873 confirm mid-tier throughput. Against its nearest rivals, the Quadro RTX 4000 is slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (0.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (0.9%), the AMD Radeon 780M (1.1%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (1.4%). What that means practically: its aggregate performance sits essentially level with a modern GeForce RTX 4060, which is a consumer-class rasterization comparison — but the Quadro brings certified professional drivers, tensor cores, and single-slot efficiency that the raw score does not capture. For viewport work in 3D applications, GPU-accelerated rendering, and denoised ray-traced previews, the scores indicate smooth mid-complexity scene handling, with heavy path-traced workloads expected to run at the card's ray-tracing throughput rather than its raster scores.

FAQ

Q: Does this database have measured game FPS for the Core i5-13400F paired with the Quadro RTX 4000?

A: No. There are no measured FPS rows for this exact combination; every frame-rate figure or expectation discussed here is estimated from the CPU and GPU benchmark scores, not from direct measurement.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score of 25292 is effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (deltaPct 0), 0.3% behind the Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H — a tight four-way cluster.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: Its average score of 17789 is 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon HD 7790, 0.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon 780M, and 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 560.

Q: What power does this build need?

A: The CPU is rated at 65 W TDP and the GPU at 160 W with a single 8-pin connector; NVIDIA's suggested PSU for the card is 450 W.

Q: Does the CPU have integrated graphics?

Q: Is the GPU still in production?

A: No, it is flagged end-of-life, having launched in November 2018 with a launch MSRP of 899 USD. The CPU, by contrast, is in active production status.

Q: How much memory does each component bring?

A: The GPU carries 8 GB of GDDR6 with 416.0 GB/s bandwidth; the CPU supports DDR4 or DDR5 dual-channel system memory.

CPU Analysis

The Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake processor (codename Raptor Lake-S) built on Intel's 10 nm process at a 215 mm² die, launched in January 2023 with a launch MSRP of $196. It sits in Intel's Socket 1700, runs a 2.50 GHz base clock with a 4.60 GHz boost, and carries a 65 W TDP. Cache allocation is 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. The multiplier is locked, ECC is unsupported, and the platform provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU — lanes the PCIe 3.0 Quadro cannot exploit, though future GPU upgrades can.

Benchmark results draw a clear picture of strong mid-range throughput with excellent per-core speed. Single-thread results are the standout: 960 in 3DMark single-thread, 321 / 1255 / 3191 across Cinebench R15 / R20 / R23 single-core, 1996 in Geekbench single-core, and 3634 in PassMark single-thread. Those single-core figures mean snappy desktop responsiveness and strong performance in applications that still lean on one fast thread — older game engines, CAD interaction, spreadsheet recalculation. Multi-core results scale well across the 16 threads: Cinebench R23 multi-core of 22604, Geekbench multi-core of 11068, PassMark multithread of 25032, and a Cinebench R20 multi-core of 8892. The scaling is visible in the 3DMark thread sweep — 960 single-thread, 1880 at two threads, 3459 at four, 5591 at eight, and 7307 at maximum threads, with the 16-thread result at 7314. Thread scaling flattens beyond eight threads, which is typical of hybrid core layouts where per-core clocks drop as occupancy rises.

PassMark's component tests show balanced capability: integer math at 79942, floating point at 60539, data compression at 311364, data encryption at 16608, extended instructions at 19847, string sorting at 32076, and physics at 1437. The compression and encryption numbers in particular indicate quick file archival and disk-crypto work. Overall the CPU averages 25292 and sits at the 77th percentile of all CPUs — meaningfully higher than the GPU's 61st percentile, and essentially indistinguishable from the Ryzen 9 6900HS, Intel Core 5 120, Ryzen 5 5600X3D, and Ryzen 7 6800H cluster within roughly half a percent either way. In real workloads, that translates to competent multi-threaded video encoding and compiling, with competitive responsiveness in lightly threaded tasks.

Balance and Bottleneck

This is a GPU-limited pairing for nearly all graphics workloads. The evidence is in the percentiles: the CPU holds the 77th percentile against all processors while the GPU holds the 61st percentile, and the combined build lands at 69 — almost exactly what you would expect when the stronger component is held back by the weaker one in graphics-bound tasks. With a GPU aggregate score of 17789 versus a CPU aggregate of 25292, the graphics side is the constraining resource whenever frames are being rendered.

Conversely, in CPU-bound workloads — heavy code compilation, multi-threaded rendering on the processor, compression and encryption passes — the Quadro sits partly idle and the i5-13400F's 16 threads define the pace. Its PassMark physics score of 1437 is the relevant ceiling for physics simulation and draw-call-heavy scenes. Because the card is PCIe 3.0 x16 while the platform offers Gen 5 lanes, there is also a generational interface gap, though at this performance tier that link speed is not the operative bottleneck. The practical takeaway: lowering resolution or graphics settings will buy frames only up to the point where the CPU's thread performance caps out, and at high resolutions the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 and 416.0 GB/s bandwidth set the limit. Texture-heavy modern titles may push against the 8 GB frame buffer at ultra settings and higher resolutions.

Since no measured FPS data exists for this combination, the scaling analysis is necessarily estimated: the GPU's position level with the GeForce RTX 4060 in aggregate score suggests 1080p high-refresh play is plausible in esports titles, with ultra-setting AAA gaming more comfortable at 1080p than 1440p.

Benchmark Performance

The complete measured scores for the combination:

CPU — Intel Core i5-13400F (77th percentile, average 25292):

3DMark: single-thread 960, 2-thread 1880, 4-thread 3459, 8-thread 5591, 16-thread 7314, max-threads 7307
Cinebench R15: multi 2278, single 321
Cinebench R20: multi 8892, single 1255
Cinebench R23: multi 22604, single 3191
Geekbench: multi 11068, single 1996
PassMark: multithread 25032, single-thread 3634, integer math 79942, floating point 60539, compression 311364, encryption 16608, extended instructions 19847, prime finding 83, string sorting 32076, physics 1437

GPU — NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 (61st percentile, average 17789):

3DMark Steel Nomad DX12: 1873
Geekbench OpenCL: 74540, Vulkan: 78844
PassMark G3D: 15117, GPU compute: 6176, G2D: 846, DirectX 9: 205, DirectX 10: 108, DirectX 11: 128, DirectX 12: 52

The combined picture: a 69th-percentile desktop overall. The CPU's rival cluster (Ryzen 9 6900HS at 0%, Core 5 120 at −0.3%, Ryzen 5 5600X3D at −0.3%, Ryzen 7 6800H at +0.4%) confirms it trades blows with processors well outside its nominal class, while the GPU's rivals (Radeon HD 7790, RTX 4060, Radeon 780M, Radeon Pro 560, all within 1.4%) place it squarely in mainstream performance territory. The imbalance between the 77th and 61st percentiles is the defining characteristic of this pairing's benchmark profile.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: Estimated from the aggregate GPU score, which sits within 0.9% of the GeForce RTX 4060, competitive esports play at 1080p with high frame rates is realistic in less demanding titles. AAA gaming at ultra settings is best targeted at 1080p; 1440p ultra will be constrained by the card's 1873 Steel Nomad score and 8 GB frame buffer. These are estimates — no measured FPS data exists for this pairing.

Streaming: The i5-13400F's 16 threads and 25032 PassMark multithread score leave headroom for encoding alongside gameplay, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core of 22604 supports sustained mixed workloads. The GPU-limited nature of the build means stream quality is achievable, but graphical settings may need moderation to hold frame rates.

Video editing: The CPU's compression score of 311364 and multi-core results handle timeline scrubbing and export well for 1080p work, with 4K projects viable at moderate patience. The Quadro's 288 tensor cores and certified driver lineage aid GPU-accelerated effects and decode-assisted playback in professional NLEs.

3D rendering: This is the GPU's home turf. Its 36 RT cores accelerate ray-traced viewport work and offline ray tracing, while OpenCL (74540) and Vulkan (78844) compute scores indicate competent GPU rendering throughput. Complex path-traced scenes will exceed the card's 61st-percentile capacity, but mid-complexity professional scenes are well served.

Software development: Compilation leans on the CPU, where 16 threads and a 1996 Geekbench single-core score deliver quick builds and responsive IDEs. The locked multiplier limits overclocking headroom, but stock behavior is the strong suit.

Student and office work: Single-thread dominance — 3191 Cinebench R23 single-core, 3634 PassMark single-thread — makes everyday applications feel instant. The 8 GB of VRAM and quad display outputs (3x DisplayPort 1.4a, 1x USB Type-C) comfortably drive multi-monitor study or office setups.

Who Should Build It

The target builder is a professional or student whose workload mixes CAD, 3D viewport work, GPU compute, and moderate content creation — the audience the Quadro line was designed for. The single-slot, 160 W card with a 450 W suggested PSU suits compact workstation enclosures where higher-wattage consumer cards do not fit. Developers benefit from the CPU's 16-thread compilation throughput and strong single-thread responsiveness. Students in engineering or design programs get certified professional drivers and multi-display output. Gamers at 1080p targeting high frame rates in esports titles can also make this work, given the GPU's aggregate parity with the RTX 4060 — but pure gaming builds would find the end-of-life status and locked CPU multiplier limiting. Small businesses needing a reliable office workstation with headroom for occasional rendering or visualization tasks fit the profile well. Users planning future GPU upgrades will appreciate the CPU's PCIe Gen 5, 16-lane platform.

Build Overview

This is a desktop build pairing a current Intel Core 13th Gen processor with a previous-generation NVIDIA professional graphics card. The i5-13400F contributes modern platform features — Socket 1700, DDR4/DDR5 support, PCIe Gen 5 — and 77th-percentile CPU performance. The Quadro RTX 4000 contributes Turing-era professional graphics at the 61st percentile, end-of-life but carrying RT and tensor hardware plus single-slot efficiency. The combined 69th percentile defines this as a mid-tier overall build: above the median, short of enthusiast territory, with a workstation flavor rather than a pure gaming identity. The CPU's active production status and the GPU's end-of-life status make this a hybrid-era combination — a sensible reuse of professional hardware on a modern platform.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for the Core i5-13400F and Quadro RTX 4000 as a combination — the database contains no measured rows for this pairing, and the following expectations are estimates derived from benchmark scores.

The GPU's PassMark G3D of 15117 and aggregate score of 17789, sitting within 0.9% of the GeForce RTX 4060, indicate mainstream-class rasterization throughput. At 1080p, esports and competitive titles should reach high frame rates suitable for high-refresh displays, with the CPU's 960 3DMark single-thread score and 1437 physics score providing enough headroom that the processor will rarely be the limiter at that resolution. At 1080p ultra in demanding AAA titles, playable frame rates are expected but with settings headroom worth using; the 8 GB GDDR6 buffer and 416.0 GB/s bandwidth define the ceiling as texture detail and resolution climb. At 1440p ultra, the estimates become conservative — the 1873 Steel Nomad DX12 score and the 61st-percentile placement suggest reduced settings will be needed for smooth play. DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support means ray-traced effects will run, but the 36 RT cores place this card's ray-tracing throughput below modern consumer tiers, so hybrid raster-plus-RT configurations are the realistic expectation. In every case, these are score-derived estimates, and the GPU-limited character of the build — 61st-percentile graphics against 77th-percentile processing — is the consistent through-line.
