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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, packing 45,900 million transistors into a 379 mm² die with a transistor density of 121.1M per mm². The chip, designated AD103, operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, with memory clocked at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). This configuration delivers 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and identical FP16 throughput at a 1:1 ratio, making it a formidable compute engine for both single-precision and half-precision workloads.

Memory capacity stands at 16 GB of GDDR6X across a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This is a substantial memory pool for high-resolution textures, large 3D scenes, and AI-accelerated workloads that require rapid data movement. The 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray tracing and deep learning operations, respectively. The texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s indicate strong fill-rate capabilities for rasterization-heavy scenes.

The GPU's benchmark results align with its high-end positioning. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 6600 points, a measure of modern DirectX 12 gaming performance under demanding rendering conditions. Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores of 219065 and 260075, respectively, reflect strong compute and graphics API performance across heterogeneous workloads. PassMark G3D score of 34245 places it in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, indicating top-tier rasterization performance. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 19822 shows robust general-purpose compute execution, which is critical for rendering tasks that leverage non-graphics pipelines.

For rendering specifically, the combination of RT cores, tensor cores, and high FP32 throughput means the RTX 4080 SUPER excels in real-time ray tracing, DLSS upscaling (via tensor cores), and traditional rasterization. The 16 GB VRAM is sufficient for complex scenes with high-resolution texture sets, and the 736.3 GB/s bandwidth ensures that geometry and texture data feed the shader units without bottlenecking. The 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPs provide a balanced pipeline for both pixel-heavy and geometry-heavy rendering workloads.

# Gaming Performance

The FACT PACK contains no measured FPS data for this exact CPU+GPU combination — no measuredFpsUltraByGame rows exist, and dataIsMeasured is false. Consequently, all frame-rate figures discussed here are estimates derived from the benchmark scores, not direct measurements. The reader should treat these as projections based on the relative performance of the components.

Given the RTX 4080 SUPER's 86th percentile standing among GPUs and the Core i7-13700T's 85th percentile among CPUs, the pairing is expected to deliver extremely high frame rates at 1440p and 4K resolutions in demanding titles. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 suggests strong DirectX 12 performance, which is the foundation for modern AAA games. The PassMark G3D score of 34245 indicates that rasterization-heavy games will run at high frame rates, likely exceeding 60 FPS at 4K in most titles and approaching or exceeding 144 FPS at 1440p in competitive shooters.

The 16 GB VRAM and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are ample for 4K texture packs and high-detail settings, reducing the likelihood of memory-related stuttering in open-world games with large streaming assets. The tensor cores enable DLSS frame generation and upscaling, which can further boost frame rates in supported titles, though the exact magnitude of improvement depends on game-specific implementations. The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads, while not the primary driver of frame rates at high resolutions, ensure that game logic and physics threads are adequately served, preventing CPU-bound scenarios in most titles.

For esports and competitive titles that are typically CPU-bound at lower resolutions, the i7-13700T's single-core performance (Geekbench single-core score of 2490, PassMark single-thread score of 3821) is sufficient to support high refresh rate monitors, though the 35W TDP may limit sustained all-core boost behavior compared to higher-TDP processors. Overall, the expected gaming experience is one of high fidelity at high resolutions, with the GPU as the dominant performance factor.

# Usage Scenarios

# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700T is a 16-core, 24-thread processor from the Raptor Lake-S architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². It features a base clock of 1400 MHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, with a TDP of just 35 watts — a low-power variant in the Core 13th Gen series. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache, providing substantial on-die storage for frequently accessed data.

Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel configuration, with PCIe Gen 5 (20 lanes from the CPU) for high-speed device connectivity. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output should the discrete GPU be unavailable. The CPU is multiplier-unlocked, allowing overclocking within the thermal and power constraints of its 35W TDP, though the low base clock suggests the design prioritizes energy efficiency over sustained all-core frequency.

Benchmark results indicate strong multi-core performance relative to its 35W power envelope. Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23248 is competitive with higher-TDP processors, and PassMark multithread score of 28211 confirms this. Single-core performance, measured by Cinebench R23 single-core at 3282 and Geekbench single-core at 2490, is adequate for responsive everyday use. The PassMark integer math score of 105397 and floating point math score of 73928 show balanced arithmetic performance, while the data compression score of 327700 and random string sorting score of 34939 indicate strong throughput for data processing workloads.

The 85th percentile ranking places it above most CPUs in the database, and its nearest rivals — the Intel Core 5 213PE, Core i7-12700KF, Core i5-13600T, and Core i7-12700K — are all within 0.3% of its average score, suggesting the performance tier is crowded. The 35W TDP is a defining characteristic, making this a power-efficient choice that sacrifices some sustained multi-core performance compared to higher-TDP siblings, but delivers remarkable performance per watt.

# Build Overview

This build pairs the Intel Core i7-13700T, a 16-core low-power desktop processor, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, a high-end graphics card based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. The build class is desktop, indicating a traditional tower or SFF form factor with discrete components on a motherboard with Intel Socket 1700.

The combined percentile of 86 places this configuration in the upper tier of all systems in the database, with both components ranking in the 85th-86th percentiles respectively. This is a high-performance pairing where the GPU's 16 GB VRAM and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth complement the CPU's 16 cores and 30 MB L3 cache. The CPU's 35W TDP is notably low for a 16-core processor, while the GPU's 320W TDP dominates the system's power draw, making the graphics card the primary power consumer and thermal source.

The build class is desktop, and the GPU's triple-slot cooler and 310 mm length require a spacious case with adequate airflow. The suggested PSU of 700W and the 1x 16-pin power connector indicate a modern power delivery requirement. The CPU's release date of 2023-01-03 and the GPU's release date of 2024-01-30 bracket a generational gap, with the CPU being one generation older than the GPU's 40-series architecture. The GPU is end-of-life, while the CPU remains active in production.

Overall, this is a system for users who prioritize GPU performance above all else, with a CPU that provides adequate multi-core throughput without adding excessive power consumption or heat to the system. The low-power CPU design means the system's total power draw is dominated by the GPU, making it a reasonable choice for users who want high gaming performance without a high-power CPU.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The performance balance between the Core i7-13700T and RTX 4080 SUPER is characterized by their respective percentiles: 85th for the CPU and 86th for the GPU. This near-parity suggests that, in aggregate, neither component is a clear bottleneck for the other across mixed workloads. However, the nature of the bottleneck depends heavily on the specific workload.

For gaming at 1440p and 4K resolutions, the GPU is the limiting factor. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 86th percentile and the CPU's 85th percentile mean that at these resolutions, the GPU's rendering throughput is the primary constraint on frame rates. The CPU's single-core performance (Geekbench single-core 2490, PassMark single-thread 3821) is sufficient to feed the GPU, given the CPU's 85th percentile ranking. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 6600 and PassMark G3D score of 34245 indicate that frame rates scale primarily with GPU compute, and the CPU is unlikely to cap performance in GPU-bound rendering scenarios.

In CPU-bound workloads — such as physics simulation, AI inference (with tensor cores not fully utilized), or heavily threaded code that does not offload to the GPU — the CPU becomes the limiting factor. The 35W TDP means the CPU's all-core boost clocks may be lower than higher-TDP processors, capping sustained multi-core throughput. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23248 is the relevant metric here, and while it is strong for a 35W processor, it trails higher-TDP 16-core designs, meaning the CPU will bottleneck in workloads that stress all cores simultaneously.

For mixed workloads like video editing (which uses both CPU and GPU), the balance is more nuanced. The CPU handles encoding and timeline operations while the GPU handles effects and rendering, and the 86th combined percentile suggests the system as a whole performs well. However, the GPU's 16 GB VRAM and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth provide a larger performance headroom than the CPU's 30 MB L3 cache and 35W TDP, meaning the CPU is more likely to become a bottleneck in tasks that cannot parallelize across the GPU's 10240 shading units.

The FPS scaling evidence, while estimated due to the absence of measured FPS data, indicates that at high resolutions, the GPU's 86th percentile relative to the CPU's 85th percentile means frame rates will be GPU-limited, and upgrading the CPU would yield minimal FPS gains. Conversely, in CPU-bound scenarios, the GPU's performance headroom is underutilized, and the CPU's 35W TDP is the primary constraint. This analysis suggests a system that is well-balanced for GPU-heavy workloads but CPU-limited in scenarios that demand sustained multi-core processing beyond what a 35W TDP can deliver.
