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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a desktop-class GPU built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The chip, designated GB202, contains 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 122.9 million per square millimeter. This is a large, power-hungry part with a TDP of 575 W and a suggested power supply of 950 W. The card is dual-slot, measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width, and requires a single 16-pin power connector.

Memory configuration is a defining feature. The RTX 5090 D ships with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. The memory clock is listed at 1750 MHz, which translates to 28 Gbps effective. This bandwidth is critical for high-resolution rendering and large dataset workloads, where texture streaming and frame buffer access dominate. For context, the card’s pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s, both figures that indicate a rasterization powerhouse.

Compute resources are extensive. The GPU has 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. Ray tracing is handled by 170 dedicated RT cores, while 680 tensor cores accelerate AI and deep learning tasks. Raw compute performance is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, the latter at a 1:1 ratio. This symmetric FP16/FP32 throughput is notable for mixed-precision workloads, though it differs from architectures that boost FP16. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, ensuring modern API coverage.

Benchmark scores reflect this hardware. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 5090 D scores 14,326. Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 310,674 and 376,915 respectively. Passmark G3D score is 44,065, while Passmark GPU Compute is 28,396. The average benchmark score across all tests is 77,712, placing the GPU in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. For rendering, these numbers indicate that the GPU excels in both rasterization and compute-heavy tasks. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score, which targets DX12 performance, is a strong indicator of modern game rendering capability. The Geekbench compute scores suggest that non-graphics workloads, such as GPU-accelerated rendering or physics simulations, will see substantial throughput. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 5090 D is 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, 1.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, 2.1% behind the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB, and 2.4% behind the Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB. These deltas are small, indicating that the RTX 5090 D sits in a performance tier where small percentage differences translate to similar real-world outcomes for most rendering tasks. The 32 GB VRAM is a clear advantage for large scenes and high-resolution textures, allowing assets to remain resident without spillover to system memory.

# Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 5090 D’s compute and memory bandwidth, combined with its 92nd percentile ranking, position it for high-refresh gaming at demanding settings. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,326 suggests that modern titles will run smoothly at high frame rates, though the exact FPS depends on the CPU pairing, which is discussed later. The 32 GB VRAM ensures that even texture-heavy titles at high resolutions will not suffer from memory exhaustion.

Streaming: For streaming, the GPU’s tensor cores and 104.8 TFLOPS FP16 performance can handle encoding offload and AI-based enhancements without burdening the CPU. The 575 W TDP and 950 W suggested PSU mean that a streaming rig needs robust power delivery, but the GPU itself has the compute headroom for simultaneous gaming and encoding tasks. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth supports high bitrate capture and playback without stutter.

Video editing: Video editing workloads benefit from the RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB VRAM, which can hold large timelines and preview buffers. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 310,674 indicates strong compute throughput for effects and color grading. The 680 tensor cores accelerate AI-based tools like denoising and upscaling, common in modern editors. The 92nd percentile rank confirms that this GPU will not be the bottleneck in most editing workflows.

3D rendering: Rendering is where the RTX 5090 D shines. The 170 RT cores and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance directly accelerate ray-traced rendering. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 14,326 reflects DX12 rendering capability, while the Passmark GPU Compute score of 28,396 shows general compute strength. For GPU-based renderers, the 32 GB VRAM is a decisive factor, allowing scenes that exceed 16 GB or 24 GB to render without tiling. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensures that scene data streams efficiently to the compute units.

Software development: Developers working on GPU-accelerated applications will find the RTX 5090 D capable. The Vulkan score of 376,915 and OpenCL score of 310,674 demonstrate cross-API compute performance. The 680 tensor cores are useful for prototyping AI models, though the card’s 575 W TDP means power management is a consideration for long compile or training sessions. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth supports large data transfers during development cycles.

Student and office work: For typical student or office tasks, this GPU is massively overprovisioned. The Passmark G2D score of 1,487 is modest, indicating that 2D desktop workloads do not stress the card. The 92nd percentile rank is irrelevant for document editing or web browsing. However, students in graphics-intensive fields, such as architecture or data science, will benefit from the compute and VRAM, though the 575 W TDP requires a dedicated power circuit and robust cooling.

# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i5-13500T is a desktop processor from the Core 13th Gen series, based on the Raptor Lake architecture and codename Raptor Lake-S. It is fabricated on Intel’s 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm². The CPU has 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 1600 MHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The TDP is 35 W, which is notably low for a desktop part, indicating a power-efficient design. The L1 cache is 80 KB per core, L2 cache is 1.25 MB per core, and L3 cache is 24 MB shared. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, and ECC memory is not supported. The CPU uses Intel Socket 1700 and has PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770. The launch MSRP is $232, and the multiplier is locked.

Benchmark data shows a balanced single-thread and multi-thread profile. In Cinebench R15, multi-core score is 1,945 and single-core is 247. Cinebench R20 scores are 8,011 multi-core and 1,130 single-core. Cinebench R23 yields 11,028 multi-core and 1,754 single-core. Geekbench multi-core is 8,888 and single-core is 2,279. Passmark tests show multithread at 22,654, single-thread at 3,580, integer math at 84,427, floating-point math at 61,640, data compression at 271,348, data encryption at 15,543, extended instructions at 16,599, find prime numbers at 73, random string sorting at 28,893, and physics at 1,112. The average benchmark score is 28,670, placing the CPU in the 80th percentile of all CPUs.

Real workload interpretation: The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,028 indicates that the 14-core, 20-thread configuration handles heavily threaded tasks like video encoding or 3D scene compilation competently, but it is not a top-tier workstation part. The single-core score of 1,754 in Cinebench R23 suggests that day-to-day responsiveness and lightly threaded applications will perform adequately, though not exceptionally. The Passmark physics score of 1,112 is low, which may affect gaming physics simulations. The 35 W TDP is a defining characteristic — it limits sustained boost clocks under heavy all-core loads, as the CPU must manage thermals within a tight power envelope. The 4.60 GHz boost clock is only achievable under light loads or for short bursts. For workloads that scale across 20 threads, the CPU will likely settle below peak boost. The 24 MB L3 cache is generous for the class, which helps with cache-sensitive tasks. The nearest rivals show a tight cluster: the Intel Core i5-12600 scores 28,646 (0.1% behind), the AMD EPYC 7203P scores 28,583 (0.3% behind), the Intel Core 5 220H scores 28,574 (0.3% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS scores 28,549 (0.4% behind). This means the i5-13500T is statistically equivalent to these parts in average benchmark score, despite differences in core counts and architecture. The 80th percentile rank confirms that this is a solid mid-range CPU, not a high-end enthusiast part.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The pairing of an RTX 5090 D with an Intel Core i5-13500T creates a significant imbalance. The GPU sits in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU is in the 80th percentile of all CPUs. This gap suggests that, in most gaming scenarios, the CPU will be the limiting factor. The CPU’s Passmark physics score of 1,112 is particularly low, which can bottleneck game engines that rely on CPU-side physics calculations. In contrast, the GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 14,326 shows it can render frames far faster than the CPU can feed it with draw calls and game state updates.

For gaming, the bottleneck is workload-dependent. At lower resolutions, where the GPU can produce frames quickly, the CPU’s single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core 1,754) will cap frame rates. At higher resolutions, the GPU’s rendering load increases, and the bottleneck shifts toward the GPU, but the CPU may still struggle with minimum frame rates in scenes with many dynamic objects. The CPU’s 35 W TDP further complicates sustained performance — under long gaming sessions, thermal throttling may reduce boost clocks, exacerbating the CPU bottleneck.

For compute workloads, the balance is different. The GPU’s 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth dwarf the CPU’s capabilities, so GPU-bound tasks like rendering or AI inference will see the CPU waiting on the GPU. However, tasks that are memory-latency bound or require sequential logic, such as data compression (Passmark score 271,348) or encryption (15,543), will be CPU-limited. The CPU’s 24 MB L3 cache helps, but the 20 threads are not enough to saturate the GPU’s compute in all scenarios.

The combined percentile of this build is 86th, which reflects the high GPU performance pulling up the overall ranking. However, this metric masks the CPU’s relative weakness. In CPU-bound applications, the system will perform at the CPU’s level, which is 80th percentile. In GPU-bound applications, it will perform at the GPU’s level, 92nd percentile. The FPS scaling between these extremes depends on the specific title and settings. For a balanced high-end build, a stronger CPU would be required to match the GPU’s capabilities, but as configured, this pairing favors GPU-heavy workloads.

# Who Should Build It

This build targets users who prioritize GPU compute and rendering over CPU-intensive tasks. Gamers at 4K resolution will benefit most, as the GPU’s 32 GB VRAM and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth handle high-resolution textures, and the CPU bottleneck is less pronounced at this resolution. At 1440p or 1080p, the CPU’s 80th percentile ranking may limit frame rates in CPU-bound titles, so those users should consider a stronger processor. Content creators working with 3D rendering, video editing, or AI workloads will find the RTX 5090 D’s 92nd percentile performance and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute ideal, especially for scenes that exceed 16 GB VRAM. Software developers targeting GPU acceleration will benefit from the 680 tensor cores and Vulkan score of 376,915, though they must plan for the 575 W TDP.

Students in graphics-intensive disciplines, such as architecture, film, or data science, will appreciate the GPU’s capabilities, but the 950 W suggested PSU and dual-slot size require a dedicated desk setup. Small business workstations handling GPU rendering or simulation will see high throughput, but the CPU’s 35 W TDP and 80th percentile rank mean that multi-threaded CPU tasks will not scale as well. This build is not suited for office productivity or general student work, as the Passmark G2D score of 1,487 indicates modest 2D performance, and the power requirements are excessive for such tasks. The ideal user is one who runs GPU-bound workloads almost exclusively and accepts the CPU as a supporting component.

# Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built around Intel Socket 1700, which supports the Core 13th Gen series. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel, so users can choose either memory type, though the motherboard must match. PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU is available, and the GPU uses PCIe 5.0 x16, so there is no bandwidth bottleneck. The CPU’s TDP is 35 W, which is low, so the power delivery on most Socket 1700 motherboards will be sufficient, leaving headroom for a more powerful CPU if desired. The GPU’s suggested PSU is 950 W, and its TDP is 575 W, so the power supply must be sized for the GPU, not the CPU. The 35 W CPU TDP means that upgrading to a higher-TDP CPU, such as a Core i7 or i9 from the same socket, would still fit within the 950 W PSU budget.

A sensible next upgrade would be the CPU. The GPU is already in the 92nd percentile, so replacing it would yield diminishing returns. Upgrading to a higher-core-count Socket 1700 CPU, with a higher TDP, would improve CPU-bound workloads and reduce the bottleneck seen in gaming. The 20 threads of the i5-13500T are a limitation for heavily threaded tasks, and a CPU with more cores would better complement the GPU’s compute. Memory could also be upgraded to DDR5 if the current build uses DDR4, though the memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s on the GPU means system memory is less critical. The PCIe Gen 5 interface is future-proof, and the 20 lanes from the CPU are sufficient for the GPU and one NVMe drive. The 1x 16-pin power connector on the GPU is standard, so PSU compatibility is not a concern.

# Build Overview

This is a desktop build, classified as such in the buildClass field. It pairs an Intel Core i5-13500T CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D GPU. The CPU is a 14-core, 20-thread Raptor Lake part with a 35 W TDP, and the GPU is a Blackwell 2.0 flagship with 32 GB GDDR7 and a 575 W TDP. The combined percentile is 86th, which places this build above the vast majority of systems. The GPU is the dominant component, sitting in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU is in the 80th percentile of all CPUs. The average benchmark scores are 28,670 for the CPU and 77,712 for the GPU. This is a high-end GPU paired with a mid-range CPU, resulting in a system that excels in GPU-bound workloads but lags in CPU-bound scenarios. The build is not balanced, but for users who prioritize rendering, AI, or high-resolution gaming, the GPU’s performance more than compensates for the CPU’s limitations.

# Benchmark Performance

The Intel Core i5-13500T achieves an average benchmark score of 28,670, placing it in the 80th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12600, scores 28,646, a delta of 0.1%, making them effectively identical in average performance. The AMD EPYC 7203P is 0.3% behind, and the Intel Core 5 220H is also 0.3% behind. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS is 0.4% behind. In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 11,028 multi-core and 1,754 single-core, indicating that multi-threaded tasks are about six times faster than single-threaded ones. Geekbench multi-core is 8,888 and single-core is 2,279, a similar ratio. Passmark multithread is 22,654 and single-thread is 3,580.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves an average benchmark score of 77,712, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, which is 1.6% ahead, and the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, which is 1.1% behind. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB is 2.1% ahead, and the Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB is 2.4% ahead. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the GPU scores 14,326. Geekbench OpenCL is 310,674 and Vulkan is 376,915. Passmark G3D is 44,065 and GPU Compute is 28,396.

The combined picture is one of GPU dominance. The GPU’s average score is 2.7 times the CPU’s average score. The GPU’s 92nd percentile rank versus the CPU’s 80th percentile rank shows a 12-point gap. In the combined percentile of 86th, the GPU pulls the system upward. For a user, this means that any workload that offloads to the GPU will see exceptional performance, while CPU-only tasks will be merely average. The benchmark data consistently shows that the RTX 5090 D is a top-tier part, while the i5-13500T is solidly mid-range.

# Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps entries, so all frame rate figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not measured results. The dataIsMeasured field is false, so these estimates should be treated as approximations.

Based on the GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,326 and its 92nd percentile ranking, the RTX 5090 D is capable of very high frame rates in most modern titles. The 32 GB VRAM and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensure that even at 4K with ultra textures, memory will not be a constraint. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,754 and Passmark single-thread score of 3,580 suggest that at 1080p, the CPU may limit frame rates in CPU-bound games, particularly those with heavy physics (Passmark physics score of 1,112). At 1440p, the GPU becomes more of a factor, and at 4K, the GPU is likely the primary driver of performance.

For esports titles, which are often CPU-bound, the i5-13500T’s 80th percentile rank may hold frame rates below what the GPU could achieve, but scores will still be high. For AAA single-player games, which are more GPU-bound, the RTX 5090 D will deliver excellent frame rates at 4K. For ray-traced titles, the 170 RT cores will provide strong performance, but the exact FPS depends on the game’s implementation. Overall, this build is estimated to provide high-refresh gaming at 1440p and smooth 60+ FPS at 4K in most titles, with the CPU as the limiting factor at lower resolutions. These are estimates; actual performance may vary.
