The PassMark G3D score of 22067 puts the GPU at the 75th percentile, and the GPU compute score of 10864 indicates solid general-purpose compute performance. The GPU's average benchmark score of 30095 places it right alongside the RTX 3070 Ti, with a 0.5% delta, which is effectively a tie in aggregate performance.

GPU Analysis

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 21 chip manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. It packs 3840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units, along with 60 ray accelerators for dedicated ray tracing hardware. The chip contains 26,800 million transistors on a 520 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 51.5M per mm². The GPU operates at a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 1815 MHz, and a boost clock of 2105 MHz, providing a solid frequency headroom across different workload types.

Memory is a strong point for this GPU. The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for high-resolution textures and large datasets. The memory clock runs at 2000 MHz with an effective speed of 16 Gbps. The pixel rate is 202.1 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 505.2 GTexel/s, which are strong figures for a card in this class. The FP32 performance is 16.17 TFLOPS, with FP16 at 32.33 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), indicating the card can handle both standard and reduced-precision compute workloads efficiently.

For rendering workloads, the benchmark results paint a capable picture. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3188 suggests the card handles modern DirectX 12 games well. The PassMark DirectX 12 score of 89 is lower than the DirectX 11 score of 214, which may indicate that older APIs are more optimized, but the Vulkan score of 115107 in Geekbench shows strong low-level API performance. The OpenCL score of 24508 and the Metal score of 153635 (on the Geekbench Metal test) indicate good cross-platform compute support. The GPU's 60 ray accelerators provide dedicated hardware for ray-traced effects, though the lack of tensor cores means AI-accelerated workloads rely on the general compute units instead.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data indicates a well-balanced pairing with no single component dominating the other in aggregate terms. The CPU's 64th percentile and the GPU's 75th percentile show that the GPU is somewhat stronger relative to its peers than the CPU is relative to its peers. This means that in CPU-bound scenarios, the GPU may have headroom, while in GPU-bound scenarios, the CPU can likely keep up. The combined percentile of 70 sits between the two individual percentiles, which is expected for a balanced system.

Since there are no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, all FPS discussion is estimated from the benchmark scores. The CPU's strong single-core performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3944, suggests it can drive high frame rates in games that rely on single-threaded performance. The GPU's 75th percentile position and its competitive 3DMark score of 3188 indicate it can push high frame rates at 1440p or 4K, where the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Conversely, in esports titles at 1080p with low settings, the CPU's single-core strength becomes the primary driver, and the GPU's performance may be underutilized.

The memory configuration adds another layer of balance. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5, allowing builders to choose between cost and bandwidth. The GPU's 512.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth is substantial and unlikely to bottleneck the CPU in most workloads. The ECC memory support on the CPU is a workstation-oriented feature that does not directly impact gaming performance but adds stability for compute tasks. The CPU's TDP of 65 W is low for a 16-core part, while the GPU's TDP of 250 W is moderate for its class, meaning the system's power draw is manageable with a 600 W suggested PSU.

CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700E is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process node. It features a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, which is a significant frequency range that allows for both power efficiency at idle and high performance under load. The die size is 257 mm², and the CPU uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform with PCIe Gen 5 support providing 16 CPU lanes. The multiplier is unlocked, meaning the CPU can be overclocked to extract additional performance beyond the stock boost clock.

The cache hierarchy is substantial. Each core has 80 KB of L1 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache, with 30 MB of shared L3 cache. This large L3 cache is beneficial for workloads that reuse data across cores, such as gaming and content creation. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and it supports ECC memory, which is a rare feature for a consumer-oriented chip. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output, though it is not intended for gaming.

Benchmark results show a strong all-rounder. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 27941 is the highest among the listed Cinebench results, while the single-core score of 3944 is also the strongest in that test family. The Geekbench multi-core score of 12728 and single-core score of 2437 confirm consistent performance across different benchmarking methodologies. The CPU's average benchmark score of 7957 places it at the 64th percentile, with nearest rivals including the EPYC 7551P (0.1% ahead) and the i9-10980XE (0.6% ahead). In real workloads, this translates to fast compile times for software development, smooth video editing timelines, and responsive multitasking.

The ECC memory support on the CPU is a differentiator for professionals who need data integrity over long compute sessions.

Developers compiling large codebases will benefit from the CPU's multi-core performance, and the PCIe Gen 5 support offers future storage and expansion options. Students and small business workstations that demand reliability over raw speed will appreciate the ECC support and the integrated graphics fallback, though the 250 W GPU TDP means the system is not a compact office machine. The build is not aimed at budget-conscious builders, given the hardware's mid-to-high-end positioning.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build combining the Intel Core i7-13700E with the AMD Radeon RX 6800. The CPU is a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake part with a 65 W TDP, and the GPU is a RDNA 2.0 card with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 250 W TDP. The combined percentile of 70 places this build in the upper-midrange tier of all configurations in the database, meaning it outperforms 70% of systems while not reaching the top 30%.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 7957 and the GPU's average of 30095 indicate a system that is well-suited for 1440p gaming and moderate content creation. The GPU's 75th percentile is higher than the CPU's 64th percentile, which means the system leans slightly toward GPU-bound workloads. The build is not a flagship configuration, but it represents a sensible pairing where neither component severely limits the other. The CPU's nearest rivals are server-class processors, which highlights its strong compute capabilities for a desktop part, while the GPU's nearest rivals are mainstream gaming cards, showing its competitive position in the consumer graphics market.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The motherboard platform is Intel Socket 1700 with PCIe Gen 5 support providing 16 CPU lanes. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, giving builders flexibility in memory choice. The ECC memory support is an unusual feature for this platform and adds workstation credibility. The CPU's unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, though the 65 W TDP suggests the stock cooling solution is modest and an aftermarket cooler would be needed for significant overclocking headroom.

The GPU connects via PCIe 4.0 x16 and requires a 600 W suggested PSU, with two 8-pin power connectors. The card is dual-slot and measures 267 mm in length, 120 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, so case compatibility is straightforward for most mid-tower chassis. Display outputs include 1x HDMI 2.1, 2x DisplayPort 1.4a, and 1x USB Type-C, covering modern monitor connectivity.

For a sensible next upgrade, the CPU platform is the first limiting factor. Intel Socket 1700 supports only 13th-gen and 12th-gen Core processors, so a future CPU upgrade would require a new motherboard. The GPU, while end-of-life, remains competitive at the 75th percentile, so upgrading to a higher-tier GPU would be the next logical step if the PSU headroom allows. The 600 W suggested PSU is sufficient for the current configuration, but a more powerful GPU would likely require a PSU upgrade. The CPU's PCIe Gen 5 support ensures that faster storage devices are available, and the dual-channel memory support means upgrading to higher-capacity DDR5 modules is a viable path if the motherboard supports it. The 16 GB of GPU VRAM is ample for current titles, so a GPU upgrade would be driven by raw performance rather than memory capacity.
