# Intel Core i5-13490F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 — Benchmark Database Analysis

This pairing combines Intel's 10-core Raptor Lake desktop processor with NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 flagship GPU, creating a desktop build that sits at the 70th combined percentile across all CPU+GPU combinations. The CPU delivers solid multi-threaded throughput for its class, while the GPU's raw compute capabilities are constrained by a benchmark profile that places it at only the 59th percentile among all GPUs — an unusual discrepancy worth examining. The data shows a system that excels in CPU-bound productivity tasks but whose graphics performance, as measured, does not match the expectations typically associated with this GPU tier.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-13490F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor built on Raptor Lake architecture using Intel's 10 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a 65 W TDP that makes it a power-efficient choice for desktop builds. The chip uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform and supports dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving builders flexibility in platform selection. Its 24 MB shared L3 cache, combined with 80 KB L1 per core and 1.25 MB L2 per core, provides ample on-die storage for frequently accessed data.

The CPU's benchmark scores paint a clear picture of its capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it scores 22,747 in multi-core and 3,211 in single-core — figures that demonstrate strong parallel processing for a mainstream i5 part. The 3DMark thread scaling tests show a progression from 1,959 at 2 threads to 7,556 at 16 threads, indicating that performance scales well up to the full thread count but with diminishing returns beyond 8 threads (5,731). This suggests the hybrid core arrangement handles moderately threaded workloads efficiently.

In the PassMark suite, the CPU achieves 26,569 in multithreaded tests, 83,723 in integer math, and 60,273 in floating-point math. Data compression scores of 328,397 and encryption scores of 17,902 indicate strong throughput for archival and security workloads. The single-thread score of 3,828 confirms that the 4.80 GHz boost clock delivers competitive per-core performance.

The 13490F sits at the 80th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28,185. Its nearest rivals are tightly grouped: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 is 0.2% ahead at 28,128, the Intel Core i5-14500T is 0.4% ahead at 28,065, and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE is 0.5% ahead at 28,054. The Intel Core i9-11950H trails by 0.5% at 28,332. This clustering shows the 13490F is squarely in the mid-to-upper tier of desktop processors, with no dominant advantage over its closest competitors.

For real workloads, the 65 W TDP and 10-core configuration make this CPU well-suited for multi-threaded productivity tasks like video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation, while the strong single-thread scores ensure snappy responsiveness in everyday applications. The lack of integrated graphics means a discrete GPU is mandatory, which is already present in this build.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is built on the GB202 chip using Blackwell 2.0 architecture at TSMC's 5 nm process. It packs 92,200 million transistors across a 750 mm² die, with a transistor density of 122.9M per mm². The GPU features 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster operation units, alongside 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores. Its base clock runs at 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, while the 24 GB of GDDR7 memory operates on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU's compute capabilities are substantial: FP32 performance reaches 104.8 TFLOPS, with FP16 matching at 104.8 TFLOPS (1:1). Pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s. These figures indicate a GPU capable of extreme rendering throughput, though the benchmark data available is limited to a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16,504.

This single benchmark score places the RTX 5090 D V2 at only the 59th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16,504. The nearest rivals are remarkably close — the NVIDIA T400 scores 16,508 (0% difference), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16,415 (0.5% behind), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16,408 (0.6% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16,361 (0.9% behind). This clustering around 16,400–16,500 suggests that the Steel Nomad benchmark may not fully exercise the RTX 5090 D V2's capabilities, or that the benchmark's workload favors lower-tier cards relative to their typical performance envelope.

The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, with display outputs including 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. It requires a 950 W suggested PSU, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and occupies dual slots with dimensions of 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. The 575 W TDP indicates significant power draw under load, which builders must account for in cooling and power supply selection.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's average benchmark score of 28,185 places it at the 80th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU's average score of 16,504 places it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs. The combined percentile for this pairing is 70, reflecting a system where the processor outperforms its graphics counterpart in relative standing.

Examining the CPU scores in detail: 3DMark tests show 1,002 single-thread, 1,959 at 2 threads, 3,552 at 4 threads, 5,731 at 8 threads, 7,556 at 16 threads, and 7,550 at max threads. The near-identical scores at 16 threads and max threads confirm the CPU saturates its 16 threads efficiently. Cinebench R15 scores of 323 single-core and 2,292 multi-core, R20 scores of 1,348 single-core and 9,553 multi-core, and R23 scores of 3,211 single-core and 22,747 multi-core all demonstrate consistent scaling across benchmark generations.

The GPU's single benchmark score of 16,504 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is the only measured graphics data point. When placed alongside the CPU's 80th percentile standing, the GPU's 59th percentile ranking creates an interesting dynamic: the processor is clearly the stronger component relative to its peers, while the GPU's measured performance is more modest.

The combined picture suggests a build that will handle CPU-intensive workloads with ease, but whose graphics performance, based on available data, may not deliver the extreme frame rates one might expect from a card with this specification sheet. The 0% delta between the RTX 5090 D V2 and the NVIDIA T400 in the Steel Nomad test is particularly notable, as it indicates the benchmark may be measuring a workload where these very different GPUs converge.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a significant imbalance between CPU and GPU performance percentiles. The CPU at the 80th percentile versus the GPU at the 59th percentile indicates the processor is the stronger component relative to its respective market. In CPU-bound workloads — such as software compilation, data compression, or multi-threaded rendering — the 13490F will deliver performance in the top fifth of all CPUs, while the GPU's contribution to those tasks is minimal.

Conversely, in GPU-bound workloads like gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering, the RTX 5090 D V2's measured performance at the 59th percentile becomes the limiting factor. The CPU's strong single-thread score of 3,828 in PassMark and 1,002 in 3DMark single-thread tests means it is unlikely to bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios, but the GPU's modest percentile ranking suggests frame rates will be lower than the processor's capabilities would allow.

The FPS scaling evidence is absent from the data — no measured FPS rows exist for this combination. However, the CPU's thread scaling from 1,959 at 2 threads to 7,556 at 16 threads indicates good parallel efficiency, which supports consistent frame delivery in multi-threaded game engines. The GPU's 1.34 TB/s memory bandwidth and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance suggest raw capability, but the benchmark score tempers expectations.

In practical terms, this build will be CPU-limited in lightly threaded tasks and GPU-limited in heavily graphics-intensive scenarios. The 80th percentile CPU can drive high frame rates in esports titles, while the 59th percentile GPU may struggle to maintain similarly high frame rates in demanding AAA games at high resolutions.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps entries for any game or resolution. All gaming performance figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and should be treated as approximations rather than measured results.

Based on the CPU's 80th percentile ranking and strong single-thread performance (3,828 in PassMark), the 13490F is well-positioned to drive high frame rates in CPU-bound gaming scenarios. The GPU's 59th percentile ranking, however, suggests that graphics-bound scenarios will see more modest performance. The RTX 5090 D V2's 24 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for high-resolution textures and large game worlds, but the Steel Nomad score of 16,504 indicates the GPU's practical performance may fall short of its specification sheet.

For competitive esports titles at lower resolutions, the CPU's single-thread strength should enable high frame rates, potentially limited by the GPU at higher settings. At 1440p or 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, with the 59th percentile suggesting performance comparable to mid-range graphics cards rather than the flagship-tier experience the hardware specs suggest. Ray tracing workloads, supported by 170 RT cores, would leverage the GPU's dedicated hardware, but the overall benchmark position tempers expectations for RT performance.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU's 80th percentile standing and single-thread score of 3,828 support high frame rates in CPU-bound titles, but the GPU's 59th percentile may limit refresh rate potential in graphics-heavy games. Expect strong performance in lighter titles, with more modest results in demanding AAA releases.

Streaming: The 10-core, 16-thread configuration with a 65 W TDP provides ample headroom for game capture and encoding alongside gameplay. The CPU's PassMark multithread score of 26,569 indicates sufficient parallel throughput for simultaneous gaming and streaming workloads.

Video editing: Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,747 and PassMark data compression of 328,397 support efficient video encoding and timeline processing. The GPU's 24 GB VRAM aids in effects rendering and preview playback, though its percentile ranking suggests moderate acceleration compared to top-tier GPUs.

3D rendering: The CPU's 80th percentile ranking and strong multi-threaded scores (7,556 in 3DMark max threads) make it well-suited for CPU-based rendering. GPU-accelerated rendering will benefit from 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 and 170 RT cores, but the measured benchmark position indicates performance below what the specs might suggest.

Software development: The 10-core, 16-thread design, 24 MB L3 cache, and PassMark integer math score of 83,723 support fast compilation and code analysis. The CPU's 80th percentile ranking ensures development workloads perform well relative to other processors.

Student and office work: The 65 W TDP and strong single-thread performance (3,828 PassMark) deliver responsive everyday computing. The CPU's 80th percentile ensures smooth multitasking, though the GPU's high power requirements (575 W TDP, 950 W suggested PSU) make this build overkill for basic office tasks.

Who Should Build It

This pairing targets users who prioritize CPU throughput but also need substantial graphics memory. The 80th percentile CPU suits content creators working with multi-threaded applications like video encoding, 3D modeling, and software development — workloads that will fully utilize the 10 cores and 16 threads. The GPU's 24 GB VRAM accommodates large datasets and high-resolution textures, making it viable for professionals in visualization and rendering fields.

Gamers at 1440p or 4K resolutions will find the GPU's 59th percentile ranking a limiting factor, though the CPU's strong single-thread performance ensures no processor bottleneck. Developers and students working with compilation-heavy workflows will benefit from the CPU's PassMark integer score of 83,723, while the 65 W TDP keeps idle power consumption modest for daily use. Small business workstations requiring reliable multi-threaded performance for data processing (compression score of 328,397, encryption score of 17,902) would find the CPU compelling, though the GPU's power requirements may be excessive for such environments.

The build is less suitable for users seeking maximum graphics performance — the GPU's benchmark position suggests other cards deliver similar measured results at potentially different power profiles. Users whose primary workload is GPU-accelerated rendering or high-refresh gaming should weigh the CPU's 80th percentile strength against the GPU's more modest 59th percentile showing.
