The CPU sits at the 80th percentile among all processors, while the GPU holds the 75th percentile among all graphics cards, with a combined percentile of 78. No measured FPS data exists for this exact pairing, so all gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the individual component benchmark scores rather than direct gameplay measurements.

Gaming Performance

Since the FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this CPU+GPU combination, frame rates across all titles and resolutions are estimates based on the benchmark scores of each component. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3211 and multi-core score of 22747, combined with the GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 18931, suggest the pairing is capable of smooth 1080p and decent 1440p gaming, though exact FPS numbers cannot be stated.

The Radeon RX 6700’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2014 indicates moderate DirectX 12 performance, which typically translates to playable frame rates in modern titles at 1080p with high settings. At 1440p, the GPU’s 10 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth provide enough headroom for most games, but ultra settings may cause occasional dips in the most demanding scenes. The CPU’s single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 1002, ensures that frame pacing remains consistent in CPU-bound scenarios.

For esports titles like competitive shooters, the combination of the CPU’s strong single-core performance and the GPU’s 11.29 TFLOPS FP32 throughput should deliver high refresh rates at 1080p, likely exceeding typical 144 Hz monitors in less demanding games. In AAA open-world games, the 24 MB shared L3 cache on the CPU helps reduce stutter when assets stream in, while the GPU’s 36 ray accelerators provide some ray tracing capability, though performance will drop significantly with RT enabled.

At 4K resolution, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The RX 6700’s 156.8 GPixel/s pixel rate and 352.8 GTexel/s texture rate are insufficient for consistent ultra settings at 4K, so gamers should expect to lower settings or use upscaling to achieve playable frame rates. Overall, the estimated gaming experience favors 1080p high-refresh and 1440p high-settings play, with 4K reserved for less demanding or older titles.

Balance and Bottleneck

The benchmark data indicates a well-balanced pairing where the CPU and GPU operate within a close performance envelope. The CPU’s 80th percentile and GPU’s 75th percentile suggest that in most gaming scenarios, the GPU will be the primary limiter at higher resolutions, while the CPU may limit at very low resolutions or in CPU-intensive titles. The CPU’s single-thread score of 3828 in PassMark and 1002 in 3DMark indicate it can feed the GPU adequately at 1080p, where the GPU’s 18931 G3D score becomes the bottleneck in demanding scenes.

The scaling pattern in 3DMark CPU tests — from 1959 at 2 threads to 7556 at 16 threads — shows that the CPU has headroom for multitasking while gaming. This means streaming or running background applications will have minimal impact on frame rates, as the CPU can handle concurrent workloads without starving the GPU. The PassMark data compression score of 328397 and integer math score of 83723 further indicate strong CPU throughput for non-gaming tasks that may run alongside games.

At 1440p, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The RX 6700’s 320.0 GB/s bandwidth and 10 GB VRAM are adequate for current games, but the 156.8 GPixel/s fill rate will cap frame rates in heavy scenes. The CPU’s 24 MB L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which benefits gaming, but it cannot overcome the GPU’s raw performance ceiling. The deltaPct values for GPU rivals — with the RTX 3070 Ti only 1.6% lower in average score — confirm that the RX 6700 sits in a tight competitive band, so small workload differences can shift the bottleneck.

For productivity workloads, the CPU is the dominant component. The R23 multicore score of 22747 and PassMark multithread score of 26569 indicate that multi-threaded tasks like video encoding or 3D rendering will be CPU-bound, with the GPU contributing compute acceleration where supported. The CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads provide ample parallelism, while the GPU’s compute scores (8240 in PassMark GPU compute) offer supplementary acceleration for supported applications.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: At 1080p, the CPU’s single-thread score of 3828 and the GPU’s 11.29 TFLOPS FP32 throughput should sustain frame rates above 144 FPS in esports titles, making this pairing suitable for competitive gaming on high-refresh monitors.

Streaming: The CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads, evidenced by the 7556 3DMark 16-thread score, provide enough headroom to encode video while gaming, though dedicated streaming hardware on rival GPUs may offer better efficiency. The GPU’s compute capabilities can assist with encoding offload.

Video editing: The CPU’s R23 multicore score of 22747 handles timeline rendering and export tasks efficiently, while the GPU’s OpenCL score of 97841 accelerates effects and color grading. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p editing projects.

3D rendering: The CPU’s 26569 PassMark multithread score drives CPU-based renderers, while the GPU’s 8240 PassMark compute score supports GPU-accelerated rendering. The 36 RT cores provide hardware ray tracing acceleration, though performance will be moderate compared to higher-end cards.
