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

The NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation is a workstation-class GPU built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. It carries 20 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 160-bit bus, yielding 360.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory pool is the defining feature for professional workloads: 20 GB allows large 3D scenes, high-resolution textures, and multi-layer compositing to stay resident on the GPU without spilling to system memory. The memory clock runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective data rate, and the card's base clock is 1500 MHz with a boost of 2175 MHz.

The compute configuration is substantial for a single-slot card. There are 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The pixel rate is 139.2 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 417.6 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance is 26.73 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, the latter at a 1:1 ratio, meaning no half-rate penalty for mixed-precision work. For ray tracing, the card includes 48 RT cores, and for AI-accelerated tasks, 192 tensor cores. This hardware combination makes the RTX 4000 Ada a capable renderer for both rasterization and ray-traced pipelines, with the tensor cores available for denoising and DLSS-style frame reconstruction where supported.

Benchmark results place this GPU in the 95th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 135218. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 146593, and in Geekbench Vulkan, 123842. The OpenCL score being roughly 18% higher than Vulkan suggests compute-heavy workloads extract more performance from the GPU than graphics-path tasks under that benchmark. The nearest rivals are tight: the NVIDIA A10M scores 135230 (a 0% delta), the AMD Radeon PRO W6800 scores 135396 (-0.1%), the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo scores 135774 (-0.4%), and the AMD Radeon PRO V620 scores 136472 (-0.9%). This means the RTX 4000 Ada sits in a competitive cluster where performance differences are within a single percentage point — real-world divergence will come from driver optimization and workload-specific features rather than raw throughput.

For rendering specifically, the 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores are what separate this card from gaming-focused 40-series parts. Ray-traced scenes benefit from the dedicated RT hardware, while the tensor cores accelerate AI-based denoising and upscaling. The 20 GB VRAM is the other major advantage: it is double what many desktop gaming cards offer, and that capacity directly translates to larger renderable scenes and higher-resolution output without swapping. The 360.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 20 GB of VRAM, though it is not exceptional — memory-heavy workloads like 8K texture streaming may see bandwidth constraints before compute limits are reached.

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

The Intel Core i7-13700T is a 16-core, 24-thread desktop processor built on the Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake-S) using Intel's 10 nm process, with a die size of 257 mm². It belongs to the Core 13th Gen series and was released on 2023-01-03 with a launch MSRP of $384. The base clock is 1400 MHz, which is low for a desktop part, but the boost clock reaches 4.90 GHz — a wide frequency range that allows the chip to idle efficiently and still deliver high single-thread performance when needed. The cache hierarchy is generous: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel configuration, but ECC memory is not supported.

Benchmark results show a well-rounded performer. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 23248 and single-core is 3282. Cinebench R20 scores are 9764 multi-core and 1378 single-core, while Cinebench R15 scores are 2343 multi-core and 330 single-core. Geekbench results are 11573 multi-core and 2490 single-core. Passmark tests reveal specific workload strengths: integer math scores 105397, floating-point math scores 73928, and extended instructions score 19306. Data compression scores 327700, while data encryption scores 19230 and random string sorting scores 34939. The find prime numbers test scores 127, and physics scores 1769. The multithread score is 28211, and single-thread is 3821.

The percentile ranking is 85th among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35403. The nearest rivals are extremely close: the Intel Core 5 213PE scores 35428 (-0.1% delta), the Intel Core i7-12700KF scores 35365 (0.1%), the Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35305 (0.3%), and the Intel Core i7-12700K scores 35287 (0.3%). This means the i7-13700T is effectively tied with the previous-generation i7-12700K and i7-12700KF, and only marginally ahead of the i5-13600T. The performance profile is consistent: it matches or barely edges out last-gen high-end parts while running at a much lower 35 W TDP.

For real workloads, the implications are clear. The 24 threads handle heavily parallel tasks like video encoding, 3D rendering, and code compilation with ease, evidenced by the strong Cinebench multi-core and Passmark multithread scores. The high boost clock ensures snappy single-threaded response in applications like spreadsheets, web browsers, and legacy software. The 30 MB L3 cache helps with data-intensive workloads that exhibit locality. The low 35 W TDP means this CPU can sustain boost clocks in thermally constrained environments, making it suitable for compact desktop builds or systems where power draw is a concern. The 16 cores and 24 threads are a hybrid configuration typical of Raptor Lake, with performance and efficiency cores working together to balance throughput and power.

Who Should Build It

The 90th combined percentile and the specific component characteristics point to several distinct user profiles. Gamers targeting 1440p or 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled will benefit from the RTX 4000 Ada's 48 RT cores and 20 GB VRAM, which can hold high-resolution textures and ray-traced geometry without stutter. The CPU's 4.90 GHz boost clock ensures that even the most demanding game logic threads are not bottlenecked, while the 16 cores handle background tasks like streaming, voice chat, and recording software.

Content creators working in 3D rendering, video editing, or motion graphics are the primary audience. The 24 threads of the i7-13700T accelerate CPU-side rendering and encoding, while the GPU's 26.73 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 192 tensor cores accelerate GPU-based rendering and AI-assisted effects. The 20 GB VRAM is the key advantage here — it allows complex scenes with millions of polygons and 8K textures to be manipulated in real time, and it prevents out-of-memory crashes in compositing applications that exceed 12 GB or 16 GB of VRAM. The 360.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for most creative workloads, though extremely high-resolution video playback may approach the limit.

Software developers compiling large codebases will see strong performance from the 24 threads, and the 30 MB L3 cache helps with repeated compilation passes. Data scientists and machine learning researchers can leverage the tensor cores for model training and inference, though the 20 GB VRAM is modest by dedicated AI accelerator standards. Students in engineering, architecture, or digital arts programs will find the hardware capable of running the full suite of CAD, CAM, and visualization tools, and the single-slot form factor means the GPU fits in standard workstation cases without blocking adjacent slots.

Small business workstations handling financial modeling, database management, or office productivity suites will find the CPU's single-thread performance more than adequate, and the iGPU (UHD Graphics 770) provides a fallback display output if the discrete GPU is reserved for compute tasks. The 35 W TDP of the CPU combined with the 130 W TDP of the GPU means the total system draw is modest, which reduces cooling requirements and noise levels in professional environments.

Balance and Bottleneck

The balance between the Intel Core i7-13700T and the NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation is skewed toward the GPU. The GPU sits in the 95th percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. This 10-point gap suggests that in most graphics-intensive tasks, the GPU will be the primary driver of frame rate or render time, and the CPU will rarely be the limiting factor. However, in CPU-bound workloads like physics simulation, AI inference on CPU, or single-threaded legacy applications, the CPU could become the bottleneck despite its strong scores.

The combined percentile of 90 indicates that this pairing is balanced enough to avoid severe bottlenecks in either direction. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23248 is strong enough to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics updates in most gaming scenarios. The GPU's 26.73 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is high enough that the CPU's 73928 floating-point math score will be the constraint in pure compute-offload tasks, but that is an unusual workload pattern. For gaming, the GPU's 139.2 GPixel/s pixel rate and 417.6 GTexel/s texture rate are the specs that determine frame rates at high resolutions, and the CPU's 4.90 GHz boost clock is more than sufficient to keep up at 1440p and above.

The lack of measured FPS data for this exact combination means the balance must be inferred from benchmark scores. The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score of 146593 versus the CPU's Geekbench multi-core of 11573 shows that the GPU is roughly 12.7 times faster in raw parallel compute, which is typical for a discrete GPU paired with a mid-range desktop CPU. In practice, this means the GPU will dominate in any workload that can be parallelized, while the CPU will handle serial tasks and orchestration. For 1080p gaming, the CPU may occasionally limit frame rates in poorly optimized titles, but at 1440p and 4K, the GPU will be the definitive bottleneck, which is the desired configuration for consistent frame pacing.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is built around the Intel Socket 1700 with the Raptor Lake architecture. The CPU supports PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes (CPU only), and the GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16. This means the GPU is not bandwidth-limited by the interface, and the CPU has headroom for future PCIe Gen 5 devices like NVMe SSDs or additional accelerators. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel configuration, giving builders flexibility in choosing between older, cheaper DDR4 modules or newer DDR5 kits — though the lack of ECC support rules out certain server-grade memory configurations.

The CPU's 35 W TDP is exceptionally low, and the GPU's 130 W TDP with a suggested PSU of 300 W means the total system power draw is modest. A 300 W PSU is sufficient for the GPU alone per the suggested rating, but a full system with the CPU, motherboard, drives, and peripherals would likely need a slightly larger unit to maintain headroom. The GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector, which is standard on modern power supplies, and its single-slot design means it does not obstruct adjacent PCIe slots. The card's length is 245 mm (9.6 inches) and height is 112 mm (4.4 inches), so it fits in most mid-tower cases without issue.

A sensible next upgrade path would be to move to a higher-tier CPU on the same socket, such as a 13th-gen Core i9 with more cores and higher clocks, while keeping the RTX 4000 Ada in place — though the current CPU's 85th percentile ranking means the gains would be modest. Alternatively, upgrading the GPU to a newer workstation card like the successor (Blackwell PRO W) would provide a more significant performance jump, but that would require verifying the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and power delivery are compatible. The platform also supports adding a second NVMe drive via the PCIe Gen 5 lanes, which would improve storage bandwidth for large asset libraries. The DDR4/DDR5 flexibility means the memory is not a forced upgrade path; existing DDR4 can be carried over, or DDR5 can be adopted for higher bandwidth.

Benchmark Performance

The combined benchmark picture shows a GPU-dominant build with solid CPU support. The RTX 4000 Ada Generation scores 135218 on average, placing it in the 95th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA A10M, scores 135230, a 0% delta, meaning the two are statistically indistinguishable. The AMD Radeon PRO W6800 trails by 0.1% at 135396, the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo by 0.4% at 135774, and the AMD Radeon PRO V620 by 0.9% at 136472. The GPU's Geekbench OpenCL score is 146593, and Vulkan is 123842, showing a compute advantage over graphics in synthetic tests.

The CPU, Intel Core i7-13700T, scores 35403 on average, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core 5 213PE (35428, -0.1%), Intel Core i7-12700KF (35365, 0.1%), Intel Core i5-13600T (35305, 0.3%), and Intel Core i7-12700K (35287, 0.3%). The CPU's best multi-core result is Cinebench R23 at 23248, and its best single-core is Cinebench R23 at 3282. Passmark multithread scores 28211, and single-thread scores 3821. The combined percentile of the pairing is 90, meaning this build outperforms 90% of all possible configurations in the database.

The combined picture is one of a high-end workstation pairing where the GPU is the star performer. The CPU is competitive with last-generation high-end parts but does not lead its class. The 10-percentile gap between GPU and CPU means the system is better suited for GPU-accelerated workloads than CPU-bound tasks. For rendering, video processing, and AI inference, the GPU will deliver most of the throughput. For code compilation, physics simulation, and office productivity, the CPU will provide adequate but not class-leading performance. The overall tier is solidly high-end, with the GPU being the primary reason to choose this configuration over alternatives.

Build Overview

This build pairs the Intel Core i7-13700T with the NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation in a desktop configuration. The CPU is a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake part with a 35 W TDP and a 4.90 GHz boost clock, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU is a workstation-class Ada Lovelace card with 20 GB of GDDR6 memory, 6144 shading units, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores, placing it in the 95th percentile of all GPUs. The combined percentile is 90, which firmly establishes this as a high-tier desktop workstation.

The class is desktop, and the tier is high-end, driven primarily by the GPU. The CPU is a mid-range part in terms of raw performance, but its low power draw and high boost clock make it an efficient partner for the GPU. The build is not a gaming-first configuration — the RTX 4000 Ada's workstation heritage and 20 GB VRAM point toward professional use — but it is fully capable of gaming at high resolutions. The single-slot GPU and low-TDP CPU make this a compact, efficient workstation that can fit in smaller cases without exotic cooling. The 16-pin power connector and 300 W suggested PSU keep power delivery simple.

Gaming Performance

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination — the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data. All frame rate discussion below is estimated from the benchmark scores and should be treated as projections, not empirical results.

Based on the GPU's 95th percentile ranking and 26.73 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, this build should deliver high frame rates at 1440p and playable frame rates at 4K in most modern titles. The 20 GB VRAM ensures that even games with large texture packs or ray-traced effects will not exceed memory capacity, preventing stutter from texture swapping. The GPU's 48 RT cores will handle ray-traced lighting and reflections competently, though the 360.0 GB/s bandwidth may limit performance in scenes with heavy ray-traced geometry. The 139.2 GPixel/s pixel rate suggests strong fill-rate performance for high-resolution rendering.

The CPU's 4.90 GHz boost clock and 24 threads are more than adequate for gaming workloads. Even the most CPU-intensive games rarely use more than 8-12 threads, and the high single-thread score of 3821 in Passmark indicates responsive frame pacing. At 1080p, the CPU may occasionally limit frame rates in esports titles that run at very high FPS, but the GPU will be the bottleneck at 1440p and 4K. The 30 MB L3 cache helps with games that stream large amounts of world data. Overall, this build should deliver a smooth gaming experience at 1440p with high settings, and a capable 4K experience with settings adjusted to maintain 60 FPS. For esports and competitive shooters, frame rates will be well above 144 Hz at 1080p, limited more by monitor refresh rate than hardware.
