This build pairs the Intel Core i7-13700T, a 16-core Raptor Lake processor with a 35 W TDP, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, an Ampere-architecture graphics card with 10 GB of GDDR6X memory. The benchmark database shows no measured frames-per-second rows exist for this exact combination, so all gaming performance discussion below is estimated from the individual CPU and GPU scores, not from direct frame captures. The data indicates a desktop-class pairing that sits at the 77th combined percentile across all builds in the database, indicating a system that is competent in both productivity and high-end rendering workloads, though its specific balance requires careful analysis.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is built on the GA102 chip using Samsung’s 8 nm process node, with 28,300 million transistors packed into a 628 mm² die. The memory subsystem consists of 10 GB of GDDR6X across a 320-bit bus, delivering 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 1188 MHz, or 19 Gbps effective. The base clock is 1440 MHz, boosting to 1710 MHz. This gives the card a pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s. The shading units number 8704, with 272 texture mapping units and 96 render output units.

For ray tracing and AI-assisted workloads, the RTX 3080 includes 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores. The FP32 performance is 29.77 TFLOPS, with FP16 at the same 29.77 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs include 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. The card occupies a dual-slot width, measures 285 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, and requires a single 12-pin power connector.

Benchmark scores for the GPU show a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4407, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 152423, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 33620. In PassMark tests, the GPU scores 25086 in G3D, 14397 in GPU compute, and 1054 in G2D. The PassMark DirectX tests show 170 in DX10, 207 in DX11, 100 in DX12, and 258 in DX9. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 23172, and it sits at the 68th percentile against all GPUs. Its nearest rivals by average score include the NVIDIA P106-100 (deltaPct -0.3), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 (deltaPct -0.3), AMD Radeon RX 6600M (deltaPct -0.4), and AMD Radeon R9 M290X (deltaPct -0.4). These deltas are minimal, placing the RTX 3080 essentially at parity with those cards in aggregate, though the RTX 3080’s raw specs suggest it should outperform them in modern rendering tasks that leverage its RT and tensor cores.

The 760.3 GB/s bandwidth is critical for 4K texture streaming and high-resolution rendering. The 10 GB VRAM may be a limiting factor for very large scenes or 8K textures, but for most 1440p and 4K workloads it is sufficient. The 68 RT cores handle ray-traced shadows and reflections, while the 272 tensor cores accelerate DLSS and other AI-based upscaling. The FP32 and FP16 performance at 29.77 TFLOPS indicates strong compute capability for scientific simulations or Blender rendering, but the PassMark DirectX 12 score of 100 is notably low, suggesting that the card’s raw API-level performance in certain legacy benchmarks is weak relative to its other scores. The data suggests the RTX 3080 is a high-throughput card for modern graphics APIs, but its percentile position at 68 indicates it is not in the top tier of GPUs in the database.

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

The Intel Core i7-13700T achieves a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2343 and a singlecore score of 330. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score is 9764 and the singlecore is 1378. The Cinebench R23 results show a multicore score of 23248 and a singlecore score of 3282. In Geekbench, the multicore score is 11573 and the singlecore is 2490. The PassMark suite shows a multithread score of 28211, a singlethread score of 3821, and a single-thread score of 3821 (duplicated). Additional PassMark results include data compression at 327700, data encryption at 19230, extended instructions at 19306, find prime numbers at 127, floating point math at 73928, integer math at 105397, physics at 1769, and random string sorting at 34939. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 35403, and it sits at the 85th percentile against all CPUs.

The CPU’s nearest rivals are the Intel Core 5 213PE (avgScore 35428, deltaPct -0.1), Intel Core i7-12700KF (avgScore 35365, deltaPct 0.1), Intel Core i5-13600T (avgScore 35305, deltaPct 0.3), and Intel Core i7-12700K (avgScore 35287, deltaPct 0.3). This places the i7-13700T within 0.3% of these rivals, meaning it is statistically tied with the Core i7-12700K in aggregate benchmark performance, despite the latter having a higher TDP. The 85th percentile rank indicates strong overall CPU performance.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 23172, at the 68th percentile. The combined percentile for this build is 77. The CPU is clearly the stronger component relative to its peers, outperforming the GPU’s percentile by 17 points. The combined picture is a system where the CPU is the dominant performer, while the GPU, though capable, sits in a lower tier. For rendering workloads, the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23248 suggests it can handle multi-threaded CPU rendering tasks, while the GPU’s 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 performance aids GPU-accelerated rendering. The data shows a balanced system for mixed workloads, but the percentile gap indicates the CPU will not bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios; rather, the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor in GPU-bound tasks.

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

The Intel Core i7-13700T is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with the codename Raptor Lake-S. It is manufactured on Intel’s 10 nm process node, with a die size of 257 mm². The base clock is 1400.00 MHz, boosting to 4.90 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, but does not support ECC memory. The CPU has PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes (CPU only). It includes integrated graphics in the form of UHD Graphics 770. The socket is Intel Socket 1700. The multiplier is unlocked, and the TDP is 35 W. The launch MSRP is $384.

The architecture uses a hybrid design, though the FACT PACK does not specify the P-core/E-core split. The base clock of 1400.00 MHz is low, but the boost clock of 4.90 GHz is high, indicating a significant turbo range. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23248 is 7 times higher than the singlecore score of 3282, showing strong scaling across the 16 cores. The Geekbench multicore score of 11573 versus singlecore of 2490 shows a similar ratio. The PassMark integer math score of 105397 and floating point math of 73928 indicate strong arithmetic performance. The data compression score of 327700 is particularly high, suggesting excellent performance in file archiving or compression workloads.

The PassMark physics score of 1769 is relatively low, which may impact certain physics simulations in games. The find prime numbers score of 127 is also low, indicating weaker performance in integer-heavy prime calculations. The extended instructions score of 19306 suggests good SIMD throughput. For real workloads, the CPU is well-suited for multi-threaded tasks like video encoding, 3D rendering in CPU-based engines, and software compilation. The 85th percentile rank confirms it is a top-tier CPU. The low TDP of 35 W is notable, meaning this performance comes with low power draw, but it has a boost clock that reaches 4.90 GHz, so thermal headroom may vary. The 30 MB of L3 cache helps with gaming and data-intensive applications.

Balance and Bottleneck — which component limits which workload, using percentiles and FPS scaling as evidence

The CPU sits at the 85th percentile, while the GPU sits at the 68th percentile. This 17-point gap suggests the CPU is significantly stronger relative to its peers than the GPU. In CPU-bound workloads, the i7-13700T will not be the limiting factor; its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23248 and PassMark multithread score of 28211 indicate it can feed the GPU efficiently. In GPU-bound workloads, the RTX 3080’s performance at the 68th percentile will cap frame rates, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU is the primary driver.

The PassMark G3D score of 25086 is high, but the DirectX 12 score of 100 is low, suggesting that in newer API-heavy titles, the GPU may underperform relative to its G3D score. This could create a bottleneck in games that heavily utilize DX12 features. Conversely, the CPU’s PassMark singlethread score of 3821 is strong, so single-threaded game logic will not bottleneck. The FPS scaling is not measured, but based on the percentile gap, the GPU is the more likely bottleneck in gaming scenarios. For rendering, the GPU’s 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 will accelerate GPU rendering, but the CPU’s 23248 Cinebench R23 score will handle CPU rendering tasks without lagging.

The memory bandwidth of the GPU at 760.3 GB/s is substantial, so VRAM bandwidth is not a bottleneck. The CPU’s memory support for DDR5 and DDR4 is flexible, but the FACT PACK does not specify the memory bandwidth, so no comparison can be made. The PCIe Gen 5 lanes on the CPU, combined with the GPU’s PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, mean the GPU is not bandwidth-limited by the bus. Overall, the data indicates a system where the CPU is overqualified relative to the GPU, but the GPU is still capable. In CPU-heavy workloads like data compression (327700 PassMark score), the CPU will dominate. In GPU-heavy workloads like 3DMark Steel Nomad (4407 score), the GPU will set the pace.

Who Should Build It — target users and industries (gamers at specific resolutions, content creators, developers, students, small business workstations) tied strictly to the measured performance

This pairing targets users who need strong CPU performance for productivity but also want capable GPU acceleration for graphics. The CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23248, make it suitable for content creators who render videos or work with 3D models in CPU-based engines. The GPU’s 10 GB VRAM and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth support 1440p and 4K texture-heavy workloads, but the 68th percentile rank suggests it is not the top choice for 4K ultra settings in every title. The CPU’s 85th percentile rank makes it a strong fit for developers compiling large codebases, where the PassMark integer math score of 105397 is relevant.

Students in engineering or computer science fields will benefit from the CPU’s multi-threaded performance for simulations and compilation, while the GPU’s 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 handles CUDA-accelerated tasks. Small business workstations that run database or compression workloads will see high scores in PassMark data compression (327700). Gamers at 1080p or 1440p will find the GPU sufficient, but the low DirectX 12 score of 100 suggests that DX12 titles may not run as well as expected, so high-refresh 1080p gaming is more realistic than 4K ultra. The CPU’s low TDP of 35 W also makes this build suitable for compact workstations where power draw is a concern, though the GPU’s 320 W TDP offsets that.

Gaming Performance — measured FPS by game and resolution from measuredFpsUltraByGame (or, if dataIsMeasured is false, frame expectations qualitatively from the benchmark scores and say the figures are estimates)

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS rows for this exact combination, so no measured frames-per-second data exists. All gaming performance figures below are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not from direct frame captures. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score of 25086 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4407 provide a basis for estimating performance. At 1080p ultra settings, the RTX 3080 is likely to deliver high frame rates in most titles, given its 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, but the PassMark DirectX 12 score of 100 suggests that some DX12 games may exhibit lower frame rates than expected. At 1440p ultra, the 10 GB VRAM and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are adequate, but the 68th percentile rank implies it trails the top GPUs, so frame rates will be lower than a 90th-percentile card. At 4K ultra, the GPU will likely struggle to maintain 60 FPS in demanding titles, as the 10 GB VRAM may be insufficient for large textures, and the low DirectX 12 score compounds this.

The CPU’s singlethread score of 3821 ensures that it will not bottleneck the GPU in most games, so the GPU is the primary constraint. For esports titles that rely on CPU single-thread performance, the i7-13700T’s high boost clock of 4.90 GHz will provide high frame rates. For AAA titles, the GPU’s performance is the limiting factor. These are estimates, and actual performance will vary by game.

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

The CPU uses the Intel Socket 1700, which is the platform for 12th and 13th generation Core processors. The memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, so users can choose between the two standards. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes, while the GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The TDP of the CPU is 35 W, and the GPU’s TDP is 320 W. The suggested PSU for the GPU is 700 W, which provides headroom for the combined system. The GPU is marked as End-of-life, with a successor in the GeForce 40 series, so a sensible next upgrade would be to a newer GPU, though the FACT PACK does not specify a specific model. The CPU is Active in production, so it can be replaced with a higher-tier 13th generation chip on the same socket, but no specific model is listed. The memory can be upgraded from DDR4 to DDR5 if the motherboard supports it, but the FACT PACK does not specify a speed. The PCIe Gen 5 lanes allow for future NVMe storage upgrades, but no specific drive is mentioned.

The power draw of the CPU at 35 W is low, leaving ample headroom for the GPU’s 320 W demand within a 700 W PSU. A future GPU upgrade would require checking the PSU wattage, but the 700 W suggested PSU is sufficient for the current setup. The 12-pin power connector on the GPU is a single connector, so adapters may be needed for older PSUs. The platform supports PCIe 4.0 for the GPU, but the CPU’s PCIe Gen 5 lanes mean that future GPUs with PCIe 5.0 interfaces would be backward compatible. The upgrade path is clear: the CPU can stay, and the GPU can be swapped for a newer model, or the memory can be increased, but no specific capacities are given.

Usage Scenarios — grounded in the scores: high-refresh gaming, streaming, video editing, 3D rendering, software development, student and office work. One short paragraph per scenario, citing the numbers that support the verdict

For high-refresh gaming at 1080p or 1440p, the CPU’s singlethread score of 3821 and boost clock of 4.90 GHz will drive high frame rates in esports titles, while the GPU’s G3D score of 25086 handles the graphics load. However, the low DirectX 12 score of 100 may cap performance in DX12 titles, so 144Hz at 1440p is the realistic ceiling.

Streaming benefits from the CPU’s 16 cores and 24 threads, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23248, allowing for simultaneous game encoding and streaming without dropping frames. The GPU’s 272 tensor cores can also offload encoding tasks, but the CPU has ample headroom.

Video editing in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve will use the CPU’s PassMark integer math score of 105397 for timeline scrubbing and the GPU’s 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 for effects and color grading. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for 4K timelines, but 8K may be tight.

3D rendering in Blender or Maya will leverage the CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23248 for CPU-based rendering, while the GPU’s 29.77 TFLOPS FP32 accelerates GPU rendering. The 68 RT cores handle ray-traced renders, but the 68th percentile rank means it is not the fastest GPU.

Software development benefits from the CPU’s 85th percentile rank and PassMark data compression score of 327700, making compilation and source control operations fast. The 16 cores handle parallel builds, and the 30 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency.

Student and office work is well-served by the CPU’s low TDP of 35 W, which reduces power draw for all-day use. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 can handle basic display tasks, while the GPU is available for heavier workloads, but the PassMark G2D score of 1054 is modest.
