No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination of Intel Core i7-13700KF and AMD Radeon RX 7700. The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data, so all frame rate figures presented here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores and should be treated as approximations rather than verified results.

Based on the GPU's 58th percentile ranking and its PassMark G3D score of 20974, this system should deliver playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p in most modern titles. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2865 suggests that DirectX 12 games will perform adequately, though the GPU is not a top-tier contender. The CPU's exceptional single-thread performance ensures that even in CPU-bound scenarios, the processor will not be a limiting factor, allowing the GPU to operate at its maximum potential.

At 1080p with ultra settings, the GPU's 16 GB VRAM and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth should handle most games comfortably, with frame rates likely exceeding 60 FPS in well-optimized titles. At 1440p, expect lower but still playable frame rates, with some demanding titles requiring settings adjustments to maintain smooth performance. At 4K, the GPU will likely struggle to maintain high frame rates in graphically intensive games, and users should expect to lower settings or use upscaling technologies.

Who Should Build It

This build targets gamers who prioritize 1080p and 1440p gaming with high refresh rates, where the CPU's 89th percentile performance ensures no frame drops due to processor limitations. The GPU, while in the 58th percentile, is sufficient for these resolutions and offers 16 GB of VRAM for future game textures and mods.

Content creators, particularly those doing video editing and 3D rendering, will benefit from the CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 38704 and PassMark multithread score of 45817. The 16 cores and 24 threads handle rendering tasks efficiently, and the GPU's 16 GB VRAM supports GPU-accelerated workflows.

Software developers will find the CPU's high multi-threaded performance ideal for code compilation, with the PassMark integer math score of 154507 indicating strong build performance. The processor's 89th percentile ranking ensures that even large codebases compile quickly.

Students and small business users who need a reliable, high-performance desktop for demanding coursework, research, or professional applications will find this build more than capable.

It features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units, along with 40 ray tracing cores. The transistor count is 28,100 million on a die size of 346 mm², with a transistor density of 81.2M per mm².

Clock speeds are 1900 MHz base, 2041 MHz game, and 2459 MHz boost, with memory running at 2438 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective). The GPU achieves a pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s, with FP32 and FP16 performance both rated at 25.18 TFLOPS. The TDP is 200 W, requiring two 8-pin power connectors and a suggested 550 W PSU. The card is dual-slot, 267 mm long, 135 mm high, and 50 mm wide, with outputs including 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and connects via PCIe 4.0 x16. It was released on September 17, 2025, with no launch MSRP provided.

The GPU's benchmark scores show a mixed picture. The PassMark G3D score of 20974 is respectable, but the PassMark DirectX 11 score of 186 and DirectX 12 score of 96 suggest that the GPU is not optimized for all API paths equally. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 106028 indicates strong compute performance, which benefits non-gaming workloads. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2865 places it in the 58th percentile overall, meaning it outperforms a majority of GPUs but lags behind high-end models. The 16 GB VRAM is a standout feature at this performance tier, providing ample capacity for 4K textures and GPU compute tasks, though the overall compute throughput may limit the benefit of that capacity in some scenarios.

Balance and Bottleneck

The performance data paints a clear picture of where the bottleneck lies in this build. The CPU ranks in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. This significant gap indicates that in most gaming and GPU-accelerated workloads, the graphics card will be the limiting factor.

In gaming, the CPU's high single-thread scores (3DMark single-thread 1137, PassMark single-thread 4336) mean that even at low resolutions where CPU load is highest, the processor will not be the constraint. The GPU's 58th percentile ranking means that frame rates will be determined by graphics card performance, not processor capability. This is confirmed by the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 20974 versus its compute score of 10963, suggesting that the card is more capable in rendering than in compute-heavy tasks.

For CPU-bound workloads like video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation, the bottleneck shifts. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 38704 and PassMark multithread score of 45817 are far above the GPU's contribution to these tasks. In these scenarios, the GPU's compute capability (PassMark GPU compute 10963) is secondary, and the CPU will be the primary driver of performance.

The FPS scaling picture supports this analysis. With no measured FPS data available, the estimate is that at 1080p, the GPU will be the limiting factor in most games, while the CPU remains underutilized. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes even more dominant as the bottleneck. Only in esports titles at low settings, where frame rates are extremely high, would the CPU potentially become a co-limiting factor, but even then, its single-thread performance is strong enough to avoid major issues.
