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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is a 50-series desktop GPU built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The chip, designated GB202, packs 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 122.9M per mm². The GPU has 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster operation pipelines. For ray tracing, it ships with 170 dedicated RT cores, and for AI acceleration, it carries 680 tensor cores. Clock speeds are set at a base of 2017 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz, or 28 Gbps effective.

The memory subsystem is a highlight: 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 1.34 TB/s. That is a substantial amount of VRAM for large scenes, high-resolution textures, and multi-tasking between rendering tasks. The pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s, which means fill-rate-bound workloads — like heavy post-processing or high-res texture streaming — will not be the limiting factor. Compute throughput is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (at a 1:1 ratio), so the card does not artificially halve or quarter FP16 throughput, which helps in mixed-precision workloads.

The only benchmark score available in the data is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, where the card scores 16,504. That score places it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs. However, the nearest rivals tell a more nuanced story: the NVIDIA T400 scores 16,508 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16,415 (0.5% behind), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16,408 (0.6% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16,361 (0.9% behind). So the RTX 5090 D V2 is essentially tied with these cards in this particular DX12 benchmark, despite being a much newer and more expensive part. That suggests the 3DMark Steel Nomad score is not representative of the GPU's full capabilities in ray tracing or tensor-heavy work — it just measures raw DX12 rasterization, where the card lands mid-pack. The 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores are not directly reflected in that single score, so for rendering workloads that leverage RT and AI denoising, the actual performance headroom is likely higher than the percentile implies.

# Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 5090 D V2's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth are strong on paper, but the 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 sits at the 59th percentile, essentially tied with the RX 5700 XT (0.9% delta). For high-refresh gaming at competitive settings, the data does not suggest a clear advantage over those rivals in pure rasterization, though the 24 GB VRAM and RT cores may help in games that demand large texture pools or ray-traced effects.

Streaming: With 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores, the GPU has dedicated hardware for encoding-adjacent AI tasks, and the 24 GB GDDR7 buffer can hold multiple stream buffers and scene data simultaneously. The 104.8 TFLOPS FP16 throughput (1:1) means AI-based upscaling and noise reduction algorithms have ample compute headroom, which is useful for live encoding pipelines that rely on tensor operations.

Video editing: The 1.34 TB/s memory bandwidth and 24 GB VRAM allow for smooth scrubbing and playback of high-resolution timelines, while the 176 ROPs and 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate handle compositing and color grading overlays. The 3DMark score does not directly measure video encode/decode, but the GPU's raw compute (104.8 TFLOPS FP32) supports heavy effects stacks without stalling.

3D rendering: This is where the RTX 5090 D V2's hardware shines most. The 170 RT cores accelerate ray-traced renders, and the 680 tensor cores speed up denoising passes. The 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 throughput (1:1) provide massive compute for path tracing and simulation. The 24 GB VRAM at 1.34 TB/s lets you hold large scenes and textures in memory, avoiding spills to system RAM. The benchmark score is less relevant here — rendering workloads are not pure DX12 rasterization.

Software development: For developers building graphics or AI applications, the 680 tensor cores and 104.8 TFLOPS FP16 are directly useful for training and inference. The 12 Ultimate (12_2) DirectX support and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility make it suitable for modern graphics debugging. The 24 GB VRAM is ample for running multiple virtual machines or containers with GPU passthrough.

Student and office work: The GPU is oversized for typical office tasks — the 3DMark score of 16,504 is far beyond what productivity apps need, and the 575 W TDP is overkill for spreadsheets or document editing. The 24 GB VRAM and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth are not leveraged by office software, so this pairing is not a sensible choice for that use case unless the student is also doing GPU compute or 3D work.

# Upgrade Path and Platform

The RTX 5090 D V2 connects via PCIe 5.0 x16, which is the current high-end interface, and it is compatible with modern motherboards. The GPU requires a 575 W TDP, which is substantial, and the suggested PSU is 950 W — that leaves headroom for a high-end CPU and peripherals without straining the power supply. The card uses a single 16-pin power connector, so the PSU must support that connector type. The GPU is dual-slot and measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width, so case clearance is a consideration; most full-tower and many mid-tower cases will fit it, but compact builds will not.

On the CPU side, the Intel Core i7-13700T uses the Intel Socket 1700, which is the platform for 12th and 13th Gen Core processors. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, giving builders flexibility on memory choice. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes (CPU only), which matches the GPU's PCIe 5.0 interface, so there is no bottleneck from the bus. The CPU's TDP is only 35 W, which is remarkably low for a 16-core part, meaning a modest air cooler suffices — this is a low-power chip that does not demand a high-end cooling solution or a high-wattage PSU on its own.

A sensible next upgrade would be adding more DDR5 memory if the system currently runs DDR4, since the CPU supports both, but the platform is at the end of the 1700 socket generation — future CPU upgrades would require a new motherboard. The GPU, however, is current and has a successor listed (GeForce 60), so it is not a future-proof purchase in the long term, but it is active and available now.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The data shows a clear imbalance in this pairing. The CPU, the Intel Core i7-13700T, has an average benchmark score of 35,403 and sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU, the RTX 5090 D V2, has an average benchmark score of 16,504 and sits at the 59th percentile among all GPUs. The combined percentile of the build is 72. This means the CPU is significantly stronger relative to its peers than the GPU is relative to its peers.

In compute-heavy workloads like multi-threaded rendering or compilation, the CPU's high percentile (85th) means it will not hold back the system, but the GPU's lower percentile (59th) means the GPU is the weaker link in tasks that rely on GPU compute. In gaming, the CPU's 35 W TDP and low clock behavior (base 1.40 GHz, boost 4.90 GHz) could limit frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is not saturated. The GPU's 3DMark score is mid-pack, so it will not push frames as hard as its high-end specs suggest — the bottleneck is the GPU's actual rasterization performance, not the CPU.

For FPS scaling, there is no measured FPS data for this combination. All FPS discussion must be treated as estimated from the benchmark scores. The CPU's single-thread scores (Cinebench R23 single-core at 3,282, Geekbench single-core at 2,490) are solid, so in less-threaded games, the CPU can keep up, but the GPU's mid-tier DX12 score will cap maximum frame rates. In multi-threaded workloads, the CPU's high multithread score (Cinebench R23 multi-core at 23,248) will outperform the GPU's relative standing, so the GPU becomes the bottleneck for any GPU-accelerated task.

# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700T is a 13th Gen Raptor Lake part, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². It has 16 cores and 24 threads, which is an 8P+8E configuration typical of the i7 tier, and it is unlocked (multiplier unlocked), so overclocking is possible if the motherboard and cooling allow. The base clock is 1.40 GHz, but the boost clock reaches 4.90 GHz — a wide range that reflects the T-series low-power design. The TDP is 35 W, which is exceptionally low for 16 cores, making it a power-efficient choice for small form factor or office builds that still need multi-core muscle.

Cache topology is generous: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3. That large shared L3 helps with multi-threaded workloads where data is reused across cores. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, so the CPU can be paired with either generation of RAM, though memory bandwidth is not specified in the data. The integrated GPU is UHD Graphics 770, which provides basic display output but is not meant for gaming or compute. The CPU does not support ECC memory, so error-correcting workloads are out of scope.

Benchmark results show a strong all-rounder. Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 23,248, which is high for a 35 W part, and single-core scores 3,282 — competitive for daily tasks. Geekbench multi-core is 11,573 and single-core 2,490. Passmark results are mixed but informative: integer math scores 105,397, floating point math scores 73,928, and multithread scores 28,211. Data compression scores 327,700, which is quite high, and data encryption scores 19,230. The extended instructions score of 19,306 suggests good SIMD throughput. The low single-thread Passmark scores (3,821 for both single_thread and singlethread) reflect the low base clock, but boost to 4.90 GHz compensates in bursty workloads.

In real workloads, the 13700T is a productivity champion that trades raw clock speed for efficiency. It will handle compilation, rendering, and data processing with ease, but it is not a high-frequency gaming CPU — the 4.90 GHz boost is only on a few cores, and the 35 W TDP limits sustained all-core boost. The nearest rivals are telling: the Intel Core 5 213PE is 0.1% behind, the Intel Core i7-12700KF is 0.1% ahead, the Intel Core i5-13600T is 0.3% ahead, and the Intel Core i7-12700K is 0.3% ahead. So the 13700T performs almost identically to the 12700K despite the lower TDP, which reflects the efficiency of the Raptor Lake architecture.

# Who Should Build It

The target user for this build is someone who needs a high-core-count CPU for productivity but is also adding a high-end GPU for GPU compute or rendering. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking and the GPU's 59th percentile ranking mean this is a CPU-first, GPU-second system. Gamers at 1080p or 1440p will find the CPU's single-thread performance sufficient (Cinebench R23 single-core 3,282), but the GPU's mid-tier DX12 score will limit frame rates in demanding titles. For 4K gaming, the GPU's 24 GB VRAM is a plus, but the 3DMark score suggests it is not a top-tier rasterizer.

Content creators who work in video editing or 3D rendering will benefit most: the CPU's 16 cores and 30 MB L3 cache handle encoding and simulation, while the GPU's 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores accelerate ray tracing and AI denoising. Developers building AI models will appreciate the GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP16 and 24 GB VRAM for training runs, and the CPU's high multithread scores (Cinebench R23 multi-core 23,248) speed up code compilation. Students in engineering or data science fields can use the CPU for heavy math (Passmark floating point 73,928) and the GPU for CUDA workloads, but the 575 W GPU TDP requires a robust PSU and case airflow.

Small business workstations that run virtualization, database, or data processing tasks will find the CPU's Passmark multithread score of 28,211 useful, and the GPU's 24 GB VRAM can hold large datasets for analysis. However, the GPU is overkill for office tasks, and the system's combined percentile of 72 reflects a machine that is strong but not top-tier in any single category — it is a jack-of-all-trades that excels in CPU-heavy productivity and GPU-accelerated compute, but not in pure gaming FPS.

# Benchmark Performance

For the CPU, the benchmark suite shows a consistent picture. Cinebench R15 multi-core scores 2,343 and single-core 330; R20 multi-core scores 9,764 and single-core 1,378; R23 multi-core scores 23,248 and single-core 3,282. Geekbench multi-core is 11,573 and single-core 2,490. Passmark results include data compression at 327,700, data encryption at 19,230, extended instructions at 19,306, prime numbers at 127, floating point math at 73,928, integer math at 105,397, multithread at 28,211, physics at 1,769, random string sorting at 34,939, and single thread at 3,821. The average benchmark score is 35,403, and the 85th percentile ranking means it outperforms 85% of all CPUs. The nearest rival, the Intel Core 5 213PE, scores 35,428 (0.1% behind), and the Intel Core i7-12700KF scores 35,365 (0.1% ahead), showing the 13700T is in a tight pack.

For the GPU, the only benchmark is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, scoring 16,504. The average benchmark score is 16,504, and the 59th percentile ranking places it just above the midpoint. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA T400, scores 16,508 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16,415 (0.5% behind), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16,408 (0.6% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16,361 (0.9% behind). The combined picture is a CPU that is squarely in the top 15% of all processors, paired with a GPU that is in the lower half of the top 60%. The combined percentile for the build is 72, which reflects the CPU pulling up the average.

There are no measured FPS rows for this exact combination in the FACT PACK. All FPS discussion must be treated as estimated from the benchmark scores. The CPU's high percentile and the GPU's mid percentile suggest that in gaming, the GPU will be the limiting factor, while in CPU-bound workloads, the system will perform near the top of its class.

# Build Overview

This is a desktop build (buildClass: desktop) pairing the Intel Core i7-13700T with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2. The CPU is a 35 W, 16-core Raptor Lake part with a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, and the GPU is a 575 W Blackwell 2.0 card with 24 GB GDDR7 and 170 RT cores. The combined percentile of 72 indicates the system is above average overall but not in the top tier. The CPU's 85th percentile and the GPU's 59th percentile create a lopsided pairing where the CPU is the stronger performer relative to its peers. The launch MSRP for the CPU is $384, and for the GPU it is 2,299 USD, but pricing is not indicative of performance here — the GPU's 3DMark score is mid-pack despite its high-end specs.

The build class is desktop, so it is intended for a stationary workstation or gaming rig. The CPU's low 35 W TDP means it can run in a small form factor or quiet build, but the GPU's 575 W TDP and 304 mm length require a full-size case and a 950 W suggested PSU. This is a system for users who prioritize CPU compute and GPU-accelerated ray tracing or AI tasks over raw rasterization FPS. The overall tier from the percentiles is "solid but not spectacular" — it will handle heavy productivity and GPU compute with ease, but it will not top the charts in gaming benchmarks.
