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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is a desktop-class Ada Lovelace GPU built on a 5 nm TSMC process, featuring 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. Its memory configuration consists of 12 GB of GDDR6X across a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory bandwidth is substantial for a card in this percentile tier, and the 12 GB capacity provides enough headroom for texture-heavy workloads at high resolutions, though the 192-bit bus is narrower than what higher-tier Ada cards use.

Clock behavior on the RTX 4070 shows a base of 1920 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU contains 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Pixel fill rate reaches 158.4 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 455.4 GTexel/s. These figures indicate a strong rasterization foundation, but the distinguishing hardware lies elsewhere.

Ray tracing hardware includes 46 RT cores, and the tensor core count is 184 — the latter being critical for DLSS and AI-accelerated workloads. FP32 compute is rated at 29.15 TFLOPS, with FP16 matching that at a 1:1 ratio. For rendering, the data suggests this GPU can handle ray-traced scenes with hardware acceleration across 46 RT cores, while the 184 tensor cores can accelerate denoising and upscaling tasks. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 places the card in the 81st percentile of all GPUs, meaning it outperforms roughly four-fifths of the database.

In raw compute benchmarks, the Geekbench OpenCL score of 154858 and Vulkan score of 174152 indicate strong API-level performance, with Vulkan showing a 12.5% advantage over OpenCL in this particular test. Passmark DirectX scores present an interesting pattern: DX11 scores 244, DX9 scores 320, DX10 scores 139, and DX12 scores 103. The low DX12 score relative to DX11 suggests driver-level variance in that specific test, but the overall G3D score of 26927 (81st percentile) and GPU compute score of 14720 provide the more reliable aggregate picture.

The RTX 4070's nearest rival comparisons show tight clustering: it is 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla P4, 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, 1.3% behind the RTX 4080 Mobile, and 1.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon PRO W6400. This tells a clear story — the RTX 4070 sits in a performance band where small percentage deltas separate it from both older workstation cards and mobile high-end parts. The 81st percentile ranking combined with 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth positions it as a capable rendering GPU for 1440p-class workloads, though the 192-bit bus limits extreme 4K texture streaming compared to wider-memory cards.

Benchmark Performance — exact CPU and GPU scores, percentile positions, and what the combined picture is

The combined system percentile for this Intel Core i5-13600T plus RTX 4070 pairing is 83rd overall. The CPU alone sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU at the 81st percentile of all GPUs — a well-matched pairing where the processor slightly outranks the graphics card.

CPU benchmark scores tell a consistent story of strong multi-threaded capability. Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 23571, while single-core scores 3327. The multi-core to single-core ratio is roughly 7.1:1, reflecting the 14-core, 20-thread configuration. Geekbench multi-core scores 10851 with single-core at 2385. Passmark multi-thread scores 27098, with single-thread at 3728. The average benchmark score for the CPU is 35305, placing it just below the Intel Core i7-13700T (35403, -0.3% delta) and just above the Intel Core i7-12700K (35287, 0% delta). The tightest rival comparison is the i7-12700K at an exact 0% delta.

GPU-side benchmarks reinforce the 81st percentile placement. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 is the headline graphics metric. Passmark G3D scores 26927, and GPU compute scores 14720. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 154858 trails the Vulkan score of 174152, suggesting Vulkan-optimized rendering workloads will extract more performance.

The combined picture is one of balance: a CPU that reaches 85th percentile and a GPU at 81st percentile produce a system at 83rd overall. The delta between CPU and GPU percentiles is only 4 points, meaning neither component dramatically overshadows the other in aggregate performance. However, for specific workloads, the balance shifts — the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23571 indicates strong all-core rendering throughput, while the GPU's 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 compute positions it for real-time graphics work. There are no measured FPS rows for this exact combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. All FPS discussion in later sections is therefore estimated from the benchmark scores, not measured directly.

CPU Analysis — cores, clocks, architecture, what the benchmark scores mean for real workloads

The Intel Core i5-13600T is a Raptor Lake-S desktop processor built on Intel's 10 nm process, with a die size of 215 mm². It packs 14 cores and 20 threads, combining performance and efficiency cores in the hybrid architecture typical of 13th-generation Core parts. Base clock is 1800 MHz, boosting up to 4.80 GHz. The 35 W TDP is notably low for a 14-core desktop chip, indicating this is a power-efficient variant rather than a high-frequency flagship.

Cache hierarchy is generous: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This 24 MB L3 is crucial for workloads that benefit from large shared caches, such as data compression and encryption. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with ECC capability — a feature absent from many consumer CPUs. The platform uses Intel Socket 1700 with PCIe Gen 5 (16 lanes from the CPU). Integrated graphics come in the form of UHD Graphics 770, providing a fallback display output or basic acceleration without the discrete GPU.

Benchmark results across multiple suites paint a consistent picture. Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 23571, which is the strongest multi-threaded result in the CPU's benchmark set. For context, the nearest rival — the Intel Core i7-12700K — matches the average score almost exactly (delta 0%), meaning the 13600T delivers comparable aggregate performance to a previous-generation unlocked i7 while running at a 35 W TDP. Single-core Cinebench R23 scores 3327, indicating strong per-thread performance for lightly threaded tasks.

Passmark sub-tests reveal specific workload characteristics. Integer math scores 96299, while floating-point math scores 70152 — the integer advantage suggests the chip is well-suited to general-purpose and database-style workloads. Data compression scores 337893, data encryption scores 19320, and extended instructions score 20651. Random string sorting scores 36413. Physics simulation scores 1287. Prime number finding scores 82. The high compression score relative to encryption suggests the large L3 cache helps with memory-intensive compression algorithms.

Real-world interpretation: the 13600T's 85th percentile ranking means it outperforms the majority of desktop CPUs in the database. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration with 24 MB L3 makes it a strong choice for multi-threaded productivity workloads like video encoding or software compilation. The 35 W TDP is remarkable for this core count — most competing parts with similar core counts consume significantly more power. The boost clock of 4.80 GHz ensures that single-threaded responsiveness remains high despite the low base clock. The 0% delta against the i7-12700K is the key competitive insight: this chip matches a previous-generation high-end desktop i7 while likely running cooler and quieter given the TDP difference.

Who Should Build It — target users and industries tied strictly to the measured performance

This desktop build targets users who need strong multi-threaded CPU performance and solid GPU compute in a balanced system. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking and the GPU's 81st percentile ranking mean that users get a machine that outperforms the majority of systems in the database across both components.

Content creators working with video editing software will benefit from the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23571, which indicates fast rendering and export times. The GPU's 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 compute supports GPU-accelerated effects and color grading. Developers compiling large codebases will appreciate the 14 cores and 20 threads, with Passmark integer math scoring 96299 — a strong indicator of compilation throughput. The 24 MB L3 cache helps with repeated compilation of similar modules.

Students in engineering or data science programs will find the CPU's data compression score of 337893 and data encryption score of 19320 useful for scientific computing and data processing tasks. The ECC memory support adds reliability for long-running computations. Small business workstations that run virtual machines or database servers benefit from the 20 threads and strong multi-core performance, with the 35 W TDP keeping power costs low — though this analysis does not discuss cost implications further.

Gamers at 1440p resolution are the primary GPU-focused audience, given the RTX 4070's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU's single-thread score of 3728 on Passmark ensures game logic and physics threads are well-served. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback for troubleshooting or basic display tasks without the discrete GPU engaged.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps rows. All frame rate figures discussed here are estimated from the benchmark scores and should be treated as expectations rather than measurements.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 at the 81st percentile suggests strong DirectX 12 gaming performance. The Passmark DX11 score of 244 and DX9 score of 320 indicate that older DirectX titles will run with substantial headroom, while the lower DX12 score of 103 in Passmark's specific test is an outlier relative to the Steel Nomad result. The GPU's 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for high-resolution textures in most current games at 1440p, and the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth prevents memory bottlenecks in texture-heavy scenes.

Given the CPU's 85th percentile ranking and the GPU's 81st percentile, frame rates at 1080p would likely be CPU-bound in less demanding titles — the CPU's single-thread performance of 3728 Passmark and 3327 Cinebench R23 single-core are strong, but the 1800 MHz base clock suggests that sustained all-core gaming loads may throttle below boost clocks. At 1440p, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the RTX 4070's 29.15 TFLOPS should deliver smooth frame rates in most titles at high settings. At 4K, the 192-bit bus and 12 GB VRAM may limit performance in the most demanding games, though the 46 RT cores provide capable ray tracing when DLSS is engaged.

The estimated gaming experience is one of high-refresh 1080p and solid 1440p performance, with 4K being playable but not consistently high-refresh. The CPU's 14 cores handle background tasks and streaming overhead without compromising game performance.

Usage Scenarios — grounded in the scores

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 4070's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3854 and 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 compute support high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The CPU's 4.80 GHz boost clock and 3728 Passmark single-thread score keep frame pacing stable in CPU-bound scenes. Expect 144Hz-class performance at 1440p in most titles, with 240Hz achievable in esports titles at 1080p.

Streaming: The GPU's 184 tensor cores and 46 RT cores provide hardware acceleration for encoding and ray-traced effects while gaming. The CPU's 20 threads handle encoding overhead and stream chat simultaneously, with the 35 W TDP ensuring thermal headroom under sustained load.

Build Overview — what this CPU+GPU pairing is, its class, and overall tier from the percentiles

This is a desktop-class build pairing the Intel Core i5-13600T with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. The CPU is a 14-core, 20-thread Raptor Lake-S part with a 35 W TDP, released January 2023 with a launch MSRP of $255. The GPU is an Ada Lovelace architecture card with 12 GB GDDR6X, released April 2023 with a launch MSRP of 599 USD.

The combined system percentile is 83rd, placing this build in the upper tier of the database — better than roughly five-sixths of all recorded systems. The CPU's 85th percentile and GPU's 81st percentile are closely aligned, creating a balanced platform where neither component is a glaring weak point. The CPU matches the Intel Core i7-12700K within 0% delta on average benchmark score, meaning this build effectively delivers previous-generation high-end i7 compute performance at a lower TDP. The GPU's nearest rival comparisons show it within 1.3% of the RTX 4080 Mobile and 0.4% of the RX Vega 56, indicating the 4070 is a solid mid-to-high-end graphics solution.

The build class is desktop, with the CPU using Intel Socket 1700 and the GPU using PCIe 4.0 x16. The GPU's dual-slot design and 240 mm length make it compatible with most mid-tower cases. The suggested PSU is 550 W, and the GPU requires a single 16-pin power connector.

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

The 4-point percentile gap between CPU (85th) and GPU (81st) indicates a well-balanced system, but workload-specific bottlenecks emerge from the benchmark data.

In multi-threaded CPU workloads, the GPU is not the limiting factor. Cinebench R23 multi-core of 23571 and Passmark multithread of 27098 are pure CPU metrics that the GPU cannot accelerate. The CPU's 35 W TDP is the constraint here — at 14 cores drawing minimal power, sustained all-core boost clocks may be lower than the 4.80 GHz peak, limiting throughput in long render jobs. The nearest rival i7-12700K matches the average score at 0% delta, but that chip has a higher TDP, suggesting the 13600T achieves parity through efficiency rather than raw clock speed.

In gaming workloads, the GPU becomes the primary limiter at higher resolutions. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854 is a pure GPU metric, and the 81st percentile ranking means the GPU is the weaker component in this pairing. At 1080p, the CPU's strong single-thread score of 3728 Passmark is likely sufficient to feed the GPU, but at 1440p and above, the GPU's 12 GB VRAM and 192-bit bus may hold back frame rates in the most demanding titles. The estimated FPS scaling — no measured data exists — would show the GPU becoming progressively more limiting as resolution increases.

In mixed workloads like streaming while gaming, both components share the load. The CPU's 20 threads handle encoding overhead, while the GPU's tensor cores accelerate DLSS and ray tracing. The balance shifts based on game settings: with ray tracing enabled, the GPU's 46 RT cores become the bottleneck; with CPU-heavy physics simulations, the 14 cores take the lead.

The Passmark GPU sub-scores reveal a potential bottleneck in compute-heavy tasks: the GPU compute score of 14720 is significantly lower than the G3D score of 26927, suggesting that non-graphics compute workloads are not the GPU's strength. For users running GPU compute tasks, the CPU would outperform the GPU in relative terms. Conversely, the GPU's Vulkan score of 174152 exceeds the OpenCL score of 154858, indicating that Vulkan-optimized workloads will see better balance against the CPU's 85th percentile performance.

Overall, this pairing is balanced for gaming and general productivity — neither component drags the system below the 80th percentile — but users pushing 4K gaming or GPU compute will find the RTX 4070 to be the limiting component, while users running heavy multi-threaded CPU renders will see the 35 W TDP CPU as the constraint.
