It comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card is dual-slot, requires one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector, and has a suggested PSU of 550 W. Its bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16, and it outputs via 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 2.0. The CPU’s launch MSRP is $384, and the GPU’s launch MSRP is 329 USD. This is a desktop build with a combined percentile of 88.

CPU Analysis

The Core i7-13700 is a 16-core processor with 24 threads, a configuration that balances high core counts for parallel workloads with strong single-thread performance. Its base clock of 2.10 GHz and boost clock of 5.20 GHz indicate a wide frequency range, allowing the chip to idle efficiently and ramp up aggressively under load. The 10 nm process and 257 mm² die size place it in the mainstream-to-high-end desktop segment. The cache layout is substantial: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3. This large L3 pool helps with data reuse in multi-threaded applications, reducing memory latency pressure. The memory controller supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving builders flexibility in platform cost and performance. ECC memory support is present, which is a useful feature for workstation-class reliability, though not a primary focus for gaming builds.

Benchmark data shows the CPU’s scaling characteristics. In 3DMark tests, the single-thread score is 1092, while the 2-thread score is 2176, the 4-thread score is 4279, the 8-thread score is 7649, and the 16-thread score is 10075. The max-thread score is 11737. The scaling from 8 to 16 threads is roughly 32% faster, indicating that the additional cores beyond eight provide meaningful gains but with diminishing returns compared to the jump from 4 to 8 threads, which is about 79% faster. This suggests that the CPU is well-suited for applications that use 8 to 16 threads effectively, but single-thread performance remains strong for lighter tasks. Cinebench results reinforce this: R15 multicore is 3692 and single-core is 285; R20 multicore is 12806 and single-core is 1807; R23 multicore is 25369 and single-core is 2008.5. The R23 multicore-to-single-core ratio is roughly 12.6x, demonstrating excellent parallelism. Geekbench scores are 17025 multicore and 2329 single-core, with a ratio of about 7.3x, which is lower than Cinebench because Geekbench includes more memory and integer workloads. PassMark tests show a multithread score of 36387 and a single-thread score of 4101, with specialized scores like integer math at 138974, floating-point math at 97723, and data compression at 443900. The extended instructions score is 26578, and encryption is 25653. These numbers indicate a processor that excels in compute-heavy tasks like rendering, compilation, and data processing, while maintaining competitive single-thread performance for everyday responsiveness. The CPU’s percentile vs all CPUs is 85, meaning it sits above 85% of all processors in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 160 (avgScore 37117, deltaPct 0), Intel Core i9-12900T (avgScore 37112, deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 7 7735H (avgScore 37161, deltaPct -0.1), and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (avgScore 37093, deltaPct 0.1). The i7-13700’s avgBenchmarkScore is 37135, placing it essentially at parity with these rivals, with deltas within 0.1% to -0.1%. This means the i7-13700 is statistically tied with these chips in overall average score, despite being a desktop part versus mobile or lower-TDP variants in some cases.

Benchmark Performance

The exact benchmark data for this specific CPU+GPU combination lacks measured FPS rows; the FACT PACK shows no measuredFps data for this pairing. All FPS discussions are therefore estimated from the individual CPU and GPU scores. The CPU’s 3DMark 16-thread score is 10075, and its max-thread score is 11737, indicating strong multi-core capability. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2969, which is a modern DirectX 12 rasterization test. The GPU also has Geekbench OpenCL score of 109175 and Vulkan score of 94284. The GPU’s percentile vs all GPUs is 90, meaning it outperforms 90% of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA CMP 90HX (avgScore 69000, deltaPct -0.3), AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 (avgScore 68562, deltaPct 0.4), AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 (avgScore 69870, deltaPct -1.5), and NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (avgScore 69986, deltaPct -1.7). The A770’s avgBenchmarkScore is 68809, which places it within 1.7% of these professional and mining-focused cards. The combined picture shows a CPU that is 85th percentile and a GPU that is 90th percentile, with a combined percentile of 88. This indicates a well-matched pairing where both components are in the upper decile of their respective categories. The CPU’s avgBenchmarkScore of 37135 and GPU’s avgBenchmarkScore of 68809 suggest that in CPU-bound scenarios, the i7-13700 will deliver strong frame pacing, while in GPU-bound scenarios, the A770 will handle high resolution and detail settings. The lack of measured FPS data means that exact frame rates cannot be stated, but the percentile scores imply that this system is capable of high-refresh 1440p gaming and solid 4K performance, depending on the title’s optimization. The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM and 512 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for large textures and high-resolution assets, while the CPU’s 16 cores ensure that background tasks like streaming or voice chat do not degrade gaming performance.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the Core i7-13700 and Arc A770 is characterized by their respective percentiles: the CPU at 85 and the GPU at 90. This 5-percentage-point gap suggests that the GPU is slightly more capable relative to its peers than the CPU is relative to its own peers. In practical terms, this means that at lower resolutions like 1080p, the CPU may be the limiting factor in very high-refresh scenarios, but the i7-13700’s single-thread score of 1092 in 3DMark and 2008.5 in Cinebench R23 is high enough to drive most games beyond 100 FPS. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, which is typical for modern gaming. The CPU’s max-thread score of 11737 indicates that it can handle multi-threaded workloads like video encoding or 3D rendering without becoming a bottleneck, but the GPU’s FP32 performance of 19.66 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s will be the constraint in GPU-heavy tasks. The GPU’s texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s is high, suggesting strong fill-rate performance. The CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 138974 and floating-point math score of 97723 show that it can feed the GPU with data efficiently. The memory bandwidth of the GPU at 512 GB/s is ample for its 16 GB VRAM, and the CPU’s dual-channel memory support is sufficient for most games, though DDR5 would help in memory-sensitive titles. The FPS scaling, as estimated from these scores, would show that in CPU-bound games, the i7-13700’s 85th percentile ensures high minimum FPS, while in GPU-bound games, the A770’s 90th percentile provides high average FPS. The balance is good, but if a user prioritizes 1080p esports titles, the CPU might hold back the GPU slightly, while at 4K, the GPU is the clear limiter.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU’s single-thread score of 1092 in 3DMark and 4101 in PassMark single-thread indicate strong per-core performance, sufficient for high-refresh 1080p gaming. The GPU’s 90th percentile and 19.66 TFLOPS of FP32 suggest it can push high frame rates at 1440p, though at 4K, the frame rates will be lower. The 16 GB VRAM prevents texture-related stutters in modern titles.

Streaming: The CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads, with a max-thread score of 11737, are more than enough to encode video via x264 while gaming. The GPU also supports hardware encoding, though the CPU alone can handle the load. The PassMark data compression score of 443900 indicates fast data throughput, which helps with stream buffering.

Video editing: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25369 shows that the CPU excels in rendering timelines and exporting videos. The GPU’s OpenCL score of 109175 accelerates effects and color grading. The 16 GB VRAM allows for large preview buffers and multiple high-resolution clips.

3D rendering: The CPU’s R20 multicore score of 12806 and R23 multicore score of 25369 make it a capable renderer for CPU-based engines. The GPU’s 32 ray tracing cores and 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 provide acceleration for GPU-based renderers, though the A770’s ray tracing performance is not top-tier, as indicated by its 90th percentile overall.

Software development: The CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 138974 and extended instructions score of 26578 are excellent for compiling code and running virtual machines. The 24 threads allow for parallel builds, and the 30 MB L3 cache reduces compilation times. The ECC memory support adds stability for long-running builds.

Student and office work: The CPU’s single-thread score of 2008.5 in Cinebench R23 and 2329 in Geekbench single-core ensure snappy response in office suites and web browsing. The GPU is overkill for this scenario, but its low idle power and 16 GB VRAM mean it can handle any future 4K display or multi-monitor setup without issue.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Core i7-13700 uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and features 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output and hardware encoding. The platform’s memory support is dual-channel, and the CPU has a TDP of 65 W, which is relatively modest for a 16-core part, though boost clocks will push power higher. The GPU has a TDP of 225 W, and the suggested PSU is 550 W, which leaves headroom for the CPU and other components. The combined system power draw is comfortably within a 550 W PSU, though a high-quality 650 W unit would provide more margin for overclocking or additional drives. The CPU has a locked multiplier, so overclocking is not an option, but the boost clock of 5.20 GHz is already high. The GPU is end-of-life, with its successor being Battlemage, and the predecessor being Xe Graphics. A sensible next upgrade would be a newer GPU with similar or better performance, as the CPU’s 85th percentile means it will not bottleneck a faster GPU for several more generations. The PCIe Gen 5 lanes are forward-looking, but the GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which is sufficient for current and near-future GPUs. The memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 means a user can keep existing DDR4 modules or upgrade to DDR5 for a small performance gain in memory-sensitive workloads. The platform’s 30 MB L3 cache and 16 cores will remain relevant for the next 3-5 years, making the CPU the more durable component in this pairing.

GPU Analysis

The Intel Arc A770 is built on the Xe-HPG architecture with the DG2-512 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process by TSMC.
