720p-1080p Low Older Games

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER is a desktop combination that places in the 54th percentile overall when compared to other CPU-GPU pairings. This build combines a high-core-count 13th-generation Intel processor with a current-generation NVIDIA graphics card, but the performance relationship between the two is far from straightforward. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact combination, so all gaming frame-rate figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores of each component, not direct measurements.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution

There are no measured FPS rows in the FACT PACK for this specific CPU-GPU pairing. The `measuredFpsUltraByGame` field is empty, and `dataIsMeasured` is false. This means any discussion of gaming performance at specific resolutions must be framed as estimates based on the individual benchmark scores of the Intel Core i7-13700K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER.

The GPU’s only benchmark result is a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which places it in the 18th percentile among all GPUs. This percentile position is surprisingly low for a modern graphics card and sits alongside rivals like the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (score 2664, deltaPct 1), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (score 2662, deltaPct 1.1), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (score 2660, deltaPct 1.1), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (score 2645, deltaPct 1.7). The RTX 5070 SUPER is only about 1% ahead of these much older or lower-tier cards in this particular test, which suggests that for gaming workloads, the estimated FPS would be modest at best.

For high-refresh gaming at 1080p or 1440p, the CPU’s strong single-thread performance — a 3DMark single-thread score of 1136 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2529 — provides a solid foundation for frame generation, but the GPU’s low percentile ranking would likely cap frame rates. At 4K resolution, the GPU becomes the dominant factor, and the estimated FPS would be constrained by the RTX 5070 SUPER’s apparent performance tier. The 18th percentile GPU score, when combined with the CPU’s 89th percentile ranking, creates a scenario where the graphics card is the limiting factor in gaming, especially at higher resolutions where pixel throughput matters most.

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

The CPU delivers an average benchmark score of 46881, placing it in the 89th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (avgScore 46971, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 (avgScore 47022, deltaPct -0.3), the AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX (avgScore 46654, deltaPct 0.5), and the Intel Xeon w3-2535 (avgScore 46653, deltaPct 0.5). The differences are razor-thin — the i7-13700K is within 0.5% of all four rivals, meaning the data shows a tightly contested performance band rather than a clear leader.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 2690, derived solely from the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This places it in the 18th percentile, which is dramatically lower than the CPU’s 89th percentile. The deltaPct values against its nearest rivals are all positive but small (1 to 1.7), indicating that the RTX 5070 SUPER barely edges out much older hardware like the GT 1030 and GT 440 in this specific benchmark.

The combined percentile for the pair is 54, which sits near the middle of all CPU-GPU combinations. This divergence — a top-tier CPU paired with a low-tier GPU in benchmark terms — creates an unbalanced picture. In multi-threaded workloads, the CPU dominates, but in graphics-bound tasks, the GPU drags the overall system down. The combined score reflects a system that is neither fully high-end nor entry-level, but rather a hybrid with distinct strengths and weaknesses.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER features 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 1750 MHz, translating to 28 Gbps effective. These memory specifications suggest ample capacity for large textures and high-resolution assets, but the bandwidth figure is moderate by modern standards. The GPU’s base clock is 2325 MHz with a boost clock of 2512 MHz, and it draws a TDP of 275 W.

The chip is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The architecture is Blackwell 2.0, and the GPU includes 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. For ray tracing, there are 50 RT cores, and for AI acceleration, 200 tensor cores are present. The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is rated at 32.15 TFLOPS, with FP16 at the same 32.15 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio).

Despite these substantial specifications, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 tells a different story. The 18th percentile ranking suggests that in this particular DirectX 12 test, the GPU performs far below what its hardware specifications would imply. For 3D rendering workloads, the FP32 and FP16 throughput would theoretically support complex shading and compute tasks, but the benchmark data indicates that real-world performance may be constrained. The RT cores and tensor cores are present for ray-traced and AI-accelerated workloads, but without measured gaming or rendering FPS, the practical impact remains uncertain. The low percentile score raises questions about driver maturity, thermal throttling, or benchmark-specific limitations that the hardware specifications alone cannot answer.

Upgrade Path and Platform — socket, memory support, PCIe, PSU headroom from suggestedPsu/tdp, what a sensible next upgrade looks like

The Intel Core i7-13700K uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The CPU also supports ECC memory, which is notable for workstation use. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 20 lanes available from the CPU, providing high-bandwidth options for storage and expansion cards. The GPU connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, so the interface is fully compatible.

The CPU’s TDP is 125 W, while the GPU’s TDP is 275 W. The FACT PACK lists no suggested PSU wattage for the GPU, so any power supply discussion must be qualitative. The combined TDP of the CPU and GPU is 400 W, and the GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector. The data suggests that a capable power supply would be required, but no specific figure is provided.

A sensible next upgrade path would focus on the GPU, given its 18th percentile ranking compared to the CPU’s 89th percentile. The Socket 1700 platform supports the current CPU, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface on the GPU means that a future graphics card upgrade would not be bottlenecked by the bus. The memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 gives flexibility, but the dual-channel bus width is standard. The CPU’s 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes provide ample room for NVMe storage upgrades alongside a new GPU.

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

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture (codename Raptor Lake-S). It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.40 GHz. The process node is 10 nm at Intel’s foundry, and the die size is 257 mm². Cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU has an integrated GPU (UHD Graphics 770), which is useful for basic display output or troubleshooting.

Benchmark results show a strong all-round performer. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 30745, while the single-core score is 2116. The 3DMark tests scale from 2262 (2 threads) to 12412 (max threads), showing good multi-threading scaling. Geekbench multi-core is 19429 and single-core is 2529. PassMark results include a multithread score of 45887, single-thread of 4333, integer math at 154446, floating-point math at 114867, and data compression at 595292. Data encryption scores 33249, extended instructions 36625, and random string sorting 62670. The find prime numbers score is 191, and physics is 2716.

For real workloads, the 89th percentile ranking and the near-tie with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (deltaPct -0.2) indicate that the i7-13700K is a high-end desktop CPU. The multi-core scores suggest strong performance in video editing, 3D rendering, and software compilation — tasks that benefit from 16 cores and 24 threads. The single-core scores, particularly the Cinebench R23 single-core of 2116 and Geekbench single-core of 2529, indicate responsive performance in everyday applications and lightly-threaded workloads. The L3 cache of 30 MB helps with data-heavy tasks, and the 5.40 GHz boost clock is among the highest in the desktop segment.

Who Should Build It

This pairing suits users who prioritize CPU-intensive workloads over GPU-bound tasks. The 89th percentile CPU ranking makes it an excellent choice for content creators who work with video editing, 3D modeling, or software compilation — tasks that leverage the 16 cores and 24 threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30745 and PassMark multithread score of 45887 support this conclusion.

Gamers at 1080p or 1440p who play CPU-heavy titles like strategy games or simulations would benefit from the CPU’s single-thread performance (Geekbench single-core 2529, 3DMark single-thread 1136), but the GPU’s 18th percentile ranking would limit frame rates in graphically demanding games. At 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, making this a less suitable choice for high-resolution gaming.

The ECC memory support and 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes make this a viable option for small business workstations or developer machines that require data integrity and fast storage. Students in engineering or computer science fields would benefit from the multi-threaded performance for compilation and simulation tasks, though the GPU’s low percentile makes it less ideal for machine learning or graphics research.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build combining the Intel Core i7-13700K (Raptor Lake, 16 cores, 24 threads, base clock 3.40 GHz, boost clock 5.40 GHz) with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER (Blackwell 2.0, 18 GB GDDR7, 6400 shading units). The CPU sits in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 18th percentile. The combined percentile is 54, placing this system in the middle tier of desktop builds.

The CPU’s launch MSRP was $409, and it remains an active production part. The GPU has no launch MSRP listed in the data. The CPU is unlocked (multiplier unlocked true) for overclocking, and the GPU is a dual-slot card measuring 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The overall tier is mid-range when considering the combined percentile, but the CPU alone is high-end.

Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a significant imbalance. The CPU’s 89th percentile versus the GPU’s 18th percentile creates a clear bottleneck scenario where the GPU limits most graphics and gaming workloads. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the GPU scores 2690, which is only 1% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (score 2664). This suggests that in GPU-bound tasks, the system performs closer to entry-level hardware than to the high-end tier implied by the CPU.

Conversely, in CPU-bound workloads — such as multi-threaded rendering, data compression (PassMark score 595292), or integer math (154446) — the GPU’s limitations are irrelevant, and the CPU’s 89th percentile ranking shines. The FPS scaling in gaming would show this imbalance: at lower resolutions where the CPU handles frame generation, the system may perform adequately, but at higher resolutions where the GPU’s pixel rate (201.0 GPixel/s) and texture rate (502.4 GTexel/s) become the limiting factors, performance would drop.

The 54th combined percentile reflects this tension. The system is neither balanced nor optimized for a single purpose. Users upgrading the GPU to a higher-percentile card would see a substantial improvement in graphics-bound tasks, while the CPU would remain the stronger component.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The CPU’s single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread 1136, Geekbench single-core 2529) could support high frame rates in CPU-bound titles, but the GPU’s 18th percentile ranking would likely cap FPS in most games. The estimated performance is insufficient for consistent high-refresh gaming at 1440p or 4K.

Streaming: The CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads provide ample headroom for encoding while gaming, but the GPU’s low benchmark score suggests that game performance itself would be limited. The NVENC capabilities are not detailed in the FACT PACK, so this scenario is grounded in the CPU’s multi-threaded strength.

Video editing: The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30745 and PassMark multithread score of 45887 indicate strong performance for rendering and exporting video. The GPU’s 18 GB of VRAM could assist with effects and color grading, but the low percentile ranking may hinder GPU-accelerated effects.

3D rendering: CPU-based rendering would excel with the i7-13700K’s multi-core scores, but GPU-based renderers would be constrained by the RTX 5070 SUPER’s 2690 Steel Nomad score. The 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores are present, but the benchmark data suggests limited practical throughput.

Software development: The CPU’s 89th percentile ranking and high integer math score (154446) make this an excellent choice for compiling large codebases. The ECC memory support adds reliability for long-running builds.

Student and office work: The CPU’s single-thread performance and integrated UHD Graphics 770 provide responsive everyday performance. The GPU is overkill for office tasks, but the system would handle spreadsheets, documents, and web browsing with ease, though the low GPU percentile is irrelevant for these workloads.
