This pairing combines Intel's Core i7-13700KF, a 16-core Raptor Lake desktop processor sitting in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, a Blackwell 2.0-based card whose database percentile reads 18 against all GPUs. The build class is desktop, and the combined percentile across CPU and GPU is 54 — a split profile where the processor clearly anchors the platform. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination in the database, so all frame-rate discussion below is estimated from benchmark scores rather than direct game captures, and is flagged as such wherever it appears.

GPU Analysis

The RTX 5070 SUPER is built on TSMC's 5 nm process around the GB205 chip, measuring 263 mm² and packing 31,100 million transistors at a density of 118.3M per mm². That density figure is worth pausing on: it reflects the Blackwell 2.0 architecture's move to a modern node, and it is what allows the card to fit 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, 80 render output units, 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores onto a die only marginally larger than the i7-13700KF's 257 mm² CPU die.

Memory is the card's structural strength. It carries 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, clocked at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. For rendering workloads, that bandwidth figure matters more than raw capacity in most scenes: it determines how quickly large textures, geometry buffers and ray-traced acceleration structures can stream through the pipeline. The 18 GB frame buffer is generous for the card's class and gives headroom for high-resolution texture packs, complex shader graphs and GPU rendering scenes that would overflow smaller buffers.

Compute throughput is rated at 32.15 TFLOPS FP32, with FP16 running at the same rate (1:1). The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s. The 200 tensor cores are directly relevant to AI-assisted rendering and upscaling pipelines, while the 50 RT cores handle hardware ray-traced path tracing workloads in DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6 environments.

The database's single recorded benchmark is a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690. Interpreting that number requires care: the card's percentileVsAllGpus is 18, and its listed nearest rivals — the Quadro K1100M at 2664, the GeForce GT 1030 at 2662, the Arc Pro B50 at 2660 and the GeForce GT 440 at 2645 — sit within roughly 1 to 2 percent of it. Taken at face value, the database's scoring model places this card well down the stack, only 1 to 1.7 percent ahead of those entries. That aggregate placement sits in tension with the card's on-paper specification (18 GB GDDR7, 672 GB/s, 50 RT cores), and the honest read is that the database has limited benchmark coverage for this GPU — one test — so the percentile should be treated as provisional rather than definitive. For rendering workloads specifically, the Steel Nomad DX12 result is the only hard datapoint available; everything else must be inferred from the silicon specification.

Clock speeds run from a 2325 MHz base to a 2512 MHz boost. The card draws 275 W, uses a single 16-pin power connector, occupies a dual-slot footprint, and measures 245 mm long, 115 mm tall and 40 mm wide — compact dimensions for its class. Display output is modern throughout: one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The CPU side of the platform is Intel Socket 1700, which supports the 13th-gen Raptor Lake-S processor. The i7-13700KF offers DDR4 and DDR5 memory support on a dual-channel bus, which is meaningful for builders: a fresh build can standardize on DDR5, while an upgrade from an earlier Socket 1700 system can reuse existing DDR4 kits. ECC memory support is listed as true, an unusual and welcome feature for a consumer desktop part that benefits workstation-style deployments.

PCIe connectivity comes from the CPU at Gen 5 with 20 lanes (CPU only), which is enough for a Gen 5 x16 GPU link plus a Gen 5 x4 NVMe SSD simultaneously without lane sharing. The GPU itself uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface, so it matches the CPU's capability exactly. No lane bottleneck exists at this slot configuration.

Power headroom is straightforward to estimate. The CPU is rated at 125 W TDP and the GPU at 275 W, for a combined 400 W at rated draw. The GPU record lists no suggestedPsu value, so no specific wattage recommendation can be cited; qualitatively, the combination of a 275 W graphics card and a 16-core unlocked CPU argues for a power supply with comfortable margin above the combined rated draw, since boost behavior on both parts can push transient loads above steady-state numbers. The CPU's multiplier is unlocked (multiplierUnlocked: true), so overclocking is available on the processor side for builders who want to extract more from the platform.

A sensible next upgrade path depends on which limitation binds first. Given the CPU's 89th percentile standing versus the GPU's 18th, the graphics card is the natural next upgrade target once budgets allow — the processor has ample headroom to feed a stronger GPU. Replacing the CPU would deliver far less gain, since it already matches the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945, the Intel Core Ultra X9 378H and the i9-12900F within a fraction of a percent in aggregate scoring.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact CPU+GPU combination — the database's measuredFpsUltraByGame field is empty and dataIsMeasured is false. Every frame-rate statement in this section is therefore an estimate derived from benchmark scores, not a measured capture.

What the scores support is this: the CPU side is emphatically not the constraint for gaming. The 3DMark CPU profile scales healthily across thread counts — 1137 single-thread, 2263 at two threads, 4474 at four threads, 8230 at eight threads, 10749 at sixteen threads and 12462 at maximum threads. Game engines that lean on one or two fast threads (the single-thread and 2-thread scores) get strong response; engines that spread across eight or more threads get near-linear scaling up to the sixteen-thread mark. Estimated, this CPU profile supports high-refresh gameplay in CPU-bound scenarios at competitive settings.

On the GPU side, the sole Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 and the database's 18th-percentile placement suggest modest estimated frame rates at ultra settings in modern AAA titles, particularly with ray tracing enabled — the card has 50 RT cores, but its aggregate placement implies the estimated headroom for heavy path-traced presets is limited. At lower resolutions or with lighter render loads, the 672 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 18 GB buffer should translate into more consistent estimated performance, since bandwidth starvation is unlikely to be the limiter. Treat all of this as directional: with one GPU benchmark on record, per-game FPS estimates for this pairing carry wide uncertainty.

Balance and Bottleneck

The combined percentile of 54 tells the story compactly: averaging a CPU in the 89th percentile with a GPU in the 18th produces a mid-tier aggregate, but the distribution is heavily lopsided. The processor is the strong half of this build; the graphics card is the limiting half for any GPU-bound workload.

The rival data confirms the CPU's strength. Its average benchmark score of 47330 sits within 0.3 percent of the Intel Core Ultra X9 378H (47468, deltaPct -0.3), 0.3 percent ahead of the i9-12900F (47176, deltaPct 0.3), 0.4 percent behind the Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 (47527, deltaPct -0.4) and 0.7 percent ahead of the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 (47022). That is a dead heat with silicon from multiple generations and segments. In practical terms, the CPU will not be the bottleneck in gaming, streaming, compilation or content creation for the life of this build.

The GPU's rival set is far less flattering: it leads the Quadro K1100M by 1 percent, the GT 1030 by 1.1 percent, the Arc Pro B50 by 1.1 percent and the GT 440 by 1.7 percent. Within the database's model, the card is only marginally ahead of entries that are qualitatively much older and weaker — again pointing to thin benchmark coverage as a likely explanation, but as recorded, the data says the GPU is the component that limits graphical workloads. For gaming, this means CPU-heavy scenarios (low resolution, high frame rate targets, simulation-heavy titles) will run free of processor limits, while GPU-heavy scenarios (ultra presets, high resolutions, ray tracing) will hit the graphics card first.

CPU Analysis

The Core i7-13700KF is a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake-S processor on Intel's 10 nm node, with a 3.40 GHz base clock boosting to 5.40 GHz. The die measures 257 mm². Cache hierarchy is deep: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 30 MB of L3 — the large shared pool is what keeps 24 threads fed in heavily multi-threaded workloads. The part has no integrated graphics (the KF suffix), which is fine here since a discrete GPU is present.

The benchmark record is extensive, and it paints a consistent picture. In Cinebench, the chip scores 550 single-core / 3901 multi-core in R15, 2294 / 16255 in R20, and 5464 / 38704 in R23. The R23 multi-core result near 39000 indicates strong sustained throughput for rendering and encoding — this is a CPU that can complete multi-threaded production work quickly, not just burst into high scores. Geekbench lands at 2435 single-core and 18258 multi-core, and PassMark records 4336 single-thread and 45817 multi-thread, plus granular results including 154507 integer math, 114997 floating point math, 596493 data compression, 33314 encryption, 36700 extended instructions, 62726 string sorting, 2650 physics and 186 prime finding.

Interpreting the single-thread numbers first: 1137 in 3DMark single-thread and 4336 in PassMark single-thread mean snappy desktop responsiveness and strong performance in applications that refuse to parallelize — older CAD tools, many audio plugins, most game logic. The multi-thread side, 45817 in PassMark and 38704 in Cinebench R23, means genuinely fast batch work: code compilation, video encoding, archive compression (596493 in PassMark data compression) and 3D rendering all exploit the full 24 threads.

The 89th percentile placement versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 47330, positions this as an upper-tier mainstream part — beaten only by the top decile of the database, and functionally interchangeable in aggregate score with the i9-12900F and the Ryzen 9 PRO 5945. Launch MSRP was $384.

Who Should Build It

This configuration suits users whose workloads are CPU-dominant and whose graphics demands are moderate. The clearest fit is the developer or content creator: the 24-thread, 5.40 GHz-boosting processor delivers elite compilation and encoding throughput (PassMark multi-thread 45817), while the GPU handles display output and light-to-moderate rendering duties.

Students and small-business workstation builders are well served too — the ECC memory support and DDR4/DDR5 flexibility make this a defensible professional platform, and the 16 cores handle office multitasking with enormous margin. Gamers are a partial fit: those targeting high frame rates at modest graphical settings will find the CPU never flinches (3DMark 8-thread score 8230, max-threads 12462), but players chasing ultra-settings AAA gaming should recognize the database's 18th-percentile GPU placement and plan on a graphics upgrade as the platform matures. Hobbyist 3D artists using GPU renderers benefit from the 18 GB GDDR7 buffer and 200 tensor cores, though the aggregate score suggests patience on heavy scenes.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming (estimated). No measured FPS data exists for this pairing, so estimates only: the CPU's single-thread 1137 and 2-thread 2263 3DMark scores indicate the processor can drive high frame-rate gameplay; whether the GPU delivers those frames at ultra settings is uncertain given its 2690 Steel Nomad score.

Streaming. This is a strong scenario on paper. Encoding and compression scale with threads, and the PassMark data compression result of 596493 plus a multi-thread score of 45817 leave ample headroom to run a game and an encode stream concurrently.

Video editing. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 38704 and Geekbench multi-core at 18258 support fast timeline scrubbing, export and proxy generation. The GPU's 18 GB buffer helps with GPU-accelerated effects, though heavy GPU filters will run at the card's pace, not the CPU's.

3D rendering. CPU rendering is excellent — R23 multi-core near 39000 with 30 MB of shared L3. GPU rendering depends on the card: 50 RT cores and 32.15 TFLOPS FP32 provide capability, while the database's aggregate placement counsels modest expectations on large scenes.

Software development. Compilation, containerized builds and test suites all exploit 24 threads; the integer math score of 154507 and encryption score of 33314 back this up. This is arguably the best-fit use for the build as configured.

Student and office work. Overkill in the best way. ECC support, dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 and a 4336 PassMark single-thread score mean documents, browsers and video calls run without friction for years.

Benchmark Performance

The CPU's full record: 3DMark CPU scores of 1137 (single-thread), 2263 (2 threads), 4474 (4 threads), 8230 (8 threads), 10749 (16 threads) and 12462 (max threads); Cinebench R15 550/3901, R20 2294/16255, R23 5464/38704 (single/multi); Geekbench 2435/18258; PassMark 4336 single-thread and 45817 multi-thread, with sub-scores of 154507 integer, 114997 floating point, 596493 compression, 33314 encryption, 36700 extended instructions, 62726 sorting, 2650 physics and 186 primes. Average benchmark score: 47330, at the 89th percentile of all CPUs.

The GPU's record is a single entry: 2690 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, average score 2690, at the 18th percentile of all GPUs, leading the Quadro K1100M by 1%, the GT 1030 by 1.1%, the Arc Pro B50 by 1.1% and the GT 440 by 1.7%.

The combined picture: a 54th-percentile aggregate that is really an 89th-percentile CPU carrying an 18th-percentile GPU by database scoring. The processor's thread scaling is near-linear through sixteen threads, and its aggregate score matches parts from the i9 and Ryzen 9 families. The graphics card's specification (18 GB GDDR7, 672 GB/s, Blackwell 2.0) is modern, but its benchmark coverage in the database is a single test — a caveat that should temper any percentile-based conclusion.

Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build pairing Intel's 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake flagship-tier i7 (launched at $384 MSRP, Socket 1700, 5.40 GHz boost, 89th CPU percentile) with NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 RTX 5070 SUPER (GB205, 5 nm, 18 GB GDDR7, 275 W, 18th GPU percentile as scored). Overall tier, per the combined percentile of 54, is mid-tier — but the composition is unbalanced in a specific, useful way: the CPU is upper-tier and future-proof, while the GPU is the scoring model's weakest link. For CPU-bound workloads this build performs like an i9-class machine; for GPU-bound workloads it performs at the level the database's single benchmark assigns the card. Builders wanting a balanced system should view the graphics card as the designated upgrade point on an otherwise strong Socket 1700 platform.
