The Intel Core i7-13700E paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a desktop configuration that combines a 16-core Raptor Lake processor with a high-end Ada Lovelace graphics card. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so all frame rate figures below are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and percentile positions of each component, not direct gameplay measurements.

Gaming Performance

Since no measured FPS data exists for this pairing, the following expectations are qualitative estimates based on the GPU's raw compute scores and the CPU's strong multi-core and single-core results. The RTX 4070 SUPER sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627 and a Passmark G3D score of 29995. These numbers place it comfortably in the upper tier of graphics hardware, suggesting it can handle modern titles at high settings with smooth frame rates.

The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for 1440p gaming and adequate for 4K in many titles. The 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray tracing and DLSS, respectively. In games that support DLSS, the tensor cores can significantly boost frame rates by rendering at lower internal resolutions and upscaling, which would mitigate the bandwidth limitations at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU's single-core performance — a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3944 and Geekbench single-core of 2437 — will be more than sufficient to feed the GPU. The i7-13700E's 5.10 GHz boost clock ensures that even the most CPU-bound esports titles will see high frame rates. At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU, and the RTX 4070 SUPER's FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS should deliver strong performance in both rasterized and ray-traced workloads.

For 4K gaming, the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 12 GB VRAM may become limiting factors in the most demanding titles, particularly those with high-resolution textures. The 80 ROPs and 224 TMUs provide good pixel and texture throughput, but the 192-bit memory bus means the card is not optimized for extreme resolutions. Estimated frame rates at 4K would be playable in many titles but might require DLSS to maintain high refresh rates.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The combination of the i7-13700E's 5.10 GHz boost clock and the RTX 4070 SUPER's 4627 Steel Nomad score indicates strong performance for 1440p high-refresh monitors. The CPU's single-core Cinebench R23 score of 3944 ensures minimal bottleneck in CPU-bound scenarios, while the GPU's 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 throughput handles the graphical load.

Streaming: The 16 cores and 24 threads of the i7-13700E provide ample headroom for simultaneous encoding and gaming. The CPU's multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 27941 suggests it can handle software encoding if needed, though the GPU's NVENC hardware (part of the Ada Lovelace architecture) would offload this task efficiently, leaving the CPU free for game logic.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a well-balanced pairing for most workloads, but the bottleneck shifts depending on the task. For gaming at 1080p, the CPU's single-core performance (Cinebench R23 single-core of 3944) is likely to be the limiting factor in extremely high-refresh scenarios, as the GPU has ample headroom. However, at 1440p and above, the GPU becomes the primary constraint, with the 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 12 GB VRAM potentially limiting performance in texture-heavy titles.

In multi-threaded productivity tasks, the CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads are the backbone, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 12728. The GPU's compute capabilities (Passmark GPU Compute score of 17108) complement this, but the CPU will often be the bottleneck in tasks that are not GPU-accelerated. The 65W TDP of the CPU versus the 220W TDP of the GPU indicates that the GPU draws significantly more power, which is typical for gaming and rendering workloads.

The percentile positions confirm this balance: the CPU sits at the 64th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs. This suggests that the GPU is the stronger component relative to its peers, meaning that in mixed workloads, the CPU is more likely to be the limiting factor. The combined percentile of 74 reflects this slight imbalance, with the GPU carrying more weight in overall system performance.
