The Intel Core i7-13700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is a desktop build that combines a 16-core Raptor Lake processor with a flagship Blackwell 2.0 GPU. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all frame-rate discussions below are estimates derived from the component benchmark scores, not from direct game testing.

Gaming Performance

Since the data set includes no measured FPS values for this pairing, every gaming figure presented here is an estimate based on the CPU’s multi-threaded and single-threaded scores and the GPU’s Steel Nomad DX12 result. The GPU posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16504, which places it in the 59th percentile among all GPUs — a strong result that suggests high refresh rate capability at 1440p and 4K in most titles. For the CPU, the 3DMark single-thread score of 1092 and the 3DMark 8-thread score of 7649 indicate that the i7-13700 can feed the RTX 5090 D V2 without becoming a bottleneck in typical gaming scenarios.

At 1080p, the combination should push well past 144 FPS in esports titles and competitive shooters, given the CPU’s PassMark single-thread score of 4101 and the GPU’s pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s. The 24 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for texture-heavy scenes, so 1080p ultra settings should rarely dip below 100 FPS in demanding AAA games. The 3DMark 4-thread score of 4279 suggests that even games optimized for fewer cores will see solid performance, though the real strength lies in the 16-core/24-thread configuration.

At 1440p, the GPU becomes the primary driver. The RTX 5090 D V2’s 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate mean that 1440p ultra settings should deliver 120+ FPS in most modern titles, with ray tracing enabled. The 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores handle ray-traced effects and DLSS workloads efficiently, so the estimated FPS drop from enabling RT should be modest. Expect 80–120 FPS in path-traced titles at 1440p, depending on the game’s optimization.

At 4K, the GPU’s 24 GB VRAM becomes a decisive advantage. The 1.34 TB/s memory bandwidth prevents bottlenecks in high-resolution textures, and the 423.6 GPixel/s fill rate supports 4K rendering without pixel-pushing stalls. Estimated 4K ultra performance falls in the 60–100 FPS range across most AAA releases, with lighter titles exceeding 120 FPS. The CPU’s 3DMark max-threads score of 11737 ensures that background tasks and game logic don’t drag down frame pacing at 4K, where GPU load dominates.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 37135, placing it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs. This is a top-tier result for a non-K processor, rivaling AMD’s Ryzen 7 160 (average score 37117) with a delta of 0%, and Intel’s own Core i9-12900T (37112) with a delta of 0.1%. The i7-13700 also edges out the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (37093) by 0.1%, showing that this chip holds its own against both desktop and mobile-class competitors in aggregate performance.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 16504, which puts it in the 59th percentile among all GPUs. That percentile is lower than the CPU’s 85th percentile, but the nearest rivals tell a more nuanced story. The NVIDIA T400 scores 16508 (delta 0%), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16415 (delta 0.5%), and the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16408 (delta 0.6%). The RTX 5090 D V2 is essentially tied with these cards in the Steel Nomad DX12 test, which is surprising given the RTX 5090 D V2’s massive 24 GB VRAM and 104.8 TFLOPS — this suggests the benchmark itself may not fully stress the GPU’s unique features.

Combined, the pair achieves a 72nd percentile ranking across all desktop configurations. The CPU’s 85th percentile pulls the average up, while the GPU’s 59th percentile drags it down. In real-world terms, this means the build excels at CPU-bound tasks like physics simulation, compilation, and data compression, while the GPU’s relative percentile suggests that its raw compute is competitive but not class-leading in the specific Steel Nomad test. The PassMark physics score of 2053 and floating-point math score of 97723 reinforce the CPU’s strength, while the GPU’s single benchmark limits direct comparison.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700 features 16 cores and 24 threads, built on the Raptor Lake architecture with a 10 nm process node from Intel. The base clock is 2.10 GHz, boosting up to 5.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This is a locked multiplier chip (SRMBA part number), so overclocking is not the intended path — but the boost clock of 5.20 GHz is high enough for most workloads without manual tuning.

Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25369 and single-core score of 2008.5 show a well-balanced chip. The multicore result benefits from the 30 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB L2 per core, which keep the 16 cores fed during heavy multi-threaded loads. The single-core score of 2008.5 is strong for gaming and lightly-threaded applications, backed by the Geekbench single-core score of 2329. The 3DMark max-threads score of 11737 confirms that all 16 cores scale effectively, with the 3DMark 16-thread score of 10075 showing only a modest drop from full utilization.

For real workloads, the PassMark suite provides context. Integer math scores 138974 and floating-point math scores 97723, which means number-crunching tasks like financial modeling or scientific simulations will run efficiently. Data compression scores 443900, and encryption scores 25653 — the latter is particularly relevant for database encryption or VPN throughput. The extended instructions score of 26578 suggests AVX-512-like workloads benefit, though the architecture itself is Raptor Lake, not a server chip. The find prime numbers score of 147 is low, but that’s a synthetic test that doesn’t map to typical desktop usage.

The 65 W TDP is noteworthy for a 16-core chip. This means the CPU can be cooled by a capable air cooler, and it leaves significant thermal headroom for the GPU in the same chassis. The UHD Graphics 770 iGPU provides a fallback display output, which is useful for troubleshooting or office tasks where the discrete GPU isn’t needed.

Who Should Build It

This build targets users who need top-tier CPU performance and are willing to accept a GPU that scores in the 59th percentile on Steel Nomad but offers 24 GB of VRAM. Gamers at 1440p and 4K will benefit from the CPU’s 85th percentile ranking and the GPU’s high memory bandwidth, provided they play titles that use more than 16 GB of VRAM. The estimated FPS at 4K ultra (60–100 FPS) makes this a viable 4K gaming rig, even if the GPU’s benchmark percentile doesn’t scream “flagship.”

Content creators editing video or working in 3D rendering will find the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25369 and the GPU’s 104.8 TFLOPS to be a strong combination. The 24 GB VRAM allows for large scene files and high-resolution textures without swapping to system memory, and the 1.34 TB/s bandwidth accelerates texture streaming. The PassMark floating-point score of 97723 indicates solid math throughput for rendering calculations.

Software developers compiling large codebases will appreciate the 16 cores and 24 threads, with the PassMark integer math score of 138974 suggesting fast build times. The ECC memory support is a bonus for workstations where data integrity is critical, though this requires compatible DDR4 or DDR5 ECC modules. Students and small business workstations will find the 65 W TDP easy to cool and the UHD Graphics 770 a backup if the discrete GPU fails.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i7-13700 uses the Intel Socket 1700, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. The platform includes PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, so the RTX 5090 D V2’s PCIe 5.0 x16 interface runs at full bandwidth. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and the GPU’s 575 W TDP require a substantial PSU; the suggested PSU for the GPU is 950 W, which leaves headroom for the CPU and peripherals. The GPU uses a 1x 16-pin power connector, so the PSU must support that connector or include an adapter.

A sensible next upgrade would be to move to a newer Intel platform with more PCIe lanes or faster memory, but the Socket 1700 platform is still active and supports the current CPU. The DDR4/DDR5 dual support means users can keep existing DDR4 memory to save cost, then upgrade to DDR5 later if the motherboard supports it. The PCIe Gen 5 lanes are forward-looking, and the GPU’s 3x DisplayPort 2.1b outputs support high-refresh monitors without bandwidth limits.

The GPU’s dimensions (304 mm length, 137 mm height, 48 mm width) require a full-size case, and the dual-slot design fits most mid-tower chassis. The 950 W suggested PSU is non-negotiable given the 575 W TDP, so a new build should budget for a high-wattage power supply. The CPU’s 65 W TDP means a modest cooler suffices, but the GPU’s heat output will dominate case airflow.

GPU Analysis

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB202 chip on TSMC’s 5 nm process, containing 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. The 24 GB of GDDR7 memory runs on a 384-bit bus at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), yielding 1.34 TB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 2017 MHz with a boost of 2407 MHz, and the card draws a 575 W TDP.

The 21760 shading units and 680 TMUs drive a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, while the 176 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s. The 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores support ray tracing and DLSS workloads, with FP32 and FP16 compute both rated at 104.8 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, covering all modern APIs.

The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16504 places it in the 59th percentile. This is a surprisingly low percentile for a card with such high specs, but the nearest rivals — NVIDIA T400 (16508), AMD Radeon PRO W7500 (16415), RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16408) — show that the score is within 0.6% of several cards. For rendering workloads, the 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is more relevant than the Steel Nomad score, as that test may not fully exercise the 24 GB VRAM or the RT cores. The 1.34 TB/s bandwidth is critical for 4K texture streaming and GPU-accelerated rendering, where memory bandwidth often becomes the limiting factor.

Balance and Bottleneck

The CPU’s 85th percentile versus the GPU’s 59th percentile creates an imbalance in synthetic benchmarks, but the real bottleneck depends on the workload. In gaming at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limit; the 3DMark single-thread score of 1092 and the PassMark single-thread score of 4101 indicate that the i7-13700 can handle most games, but the GPU’s massive compute (104.8 TFLOPS) may wait on the CPU to issue draw calls. The 3DMark 8-thread score of 7649 suggests that games using 8 threads won’t stall the GPU, but single-thread-bound titles could see lower FPS than the GPU’s capability suggests.

At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth are high, but the Steel Nomad score of 16504 indicates that the GPU’s real-world rendering throughput is not as dominant as its specs suggest. The CPU’s multi-threaded scores (Cinebench R23 multicore 25369, 3DMark max-threads 11737) ensure that the GPU receives a steady stream of frames, so the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K should be smooth rather than jagged.

For non-gaming workloads, the CPU is the clear workhorse. The PassMark multithread score of 36387 and the data compression score of 443900 show that the CPU handles parallel tasks efficiently, while the GPU’s single benchmark doesn’t cover compute tasks like CUDA or OptiX. This means the build is CPU-limited in productivity scenarios, which is fine for users who prioritize compilation or rendering over GPU compute.
