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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D is an Ada Lovelace architecture GPU built on TSMC's 5 nm process, housing 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die. Its memory subsystem is formidable: 24 GB of GDDR6X across a 384-bit bus delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). This configuration provides exceptional headroom for large textures, high-resolution assets, and multi-GPU rendering workloads where capacity and bandwidth are critical constraints.

The GPU's compute resources are equally substantial. With 14,592 shading units, 456 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs, the RTX 4090 D achieves a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,149.1 GTexel/s. Raw FP32 throughput reaches 73.54 TFLOPS, with FP16 at the same 73.54 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), indicating that half-precision workloads gain no throughput advantage — a noteworthy detail for AI inference tasks that often leverage FP16. The 114 RT cores and 456 tensor cores are dedicated to ray tracing and tensor operations respectively, making this a purpose-built card for both real-time ray-traced rendering and DLSS-enhanced workloads.

Benchmark results place the RTX 4090 D in the 98th percentile of all GPUs. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8,587 reflects strong rasterization performance, while Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores of 278,621 and 246,941 respectively indicate robust compute capability across different API environments. The GPU's average benchmark score of 178,050 is only 2.2% behind the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell (which scores 182,109) and 3.1% behind the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB (183,725). These deltas are narrow, positioning the RTX 4090 D at the upper tier of workstation-class accelerators while being a consumer-oriented product. Interestingly, the nearest rivals are all professional or data-center GPUs, suggesting that the 4090 D's performance profile aligns closely with compute-oriented hardware rather than pure gaming cards.

The GPU's power characteristics demand attention: TDP is rated at 425 W with a suggested 800 W PSU, and the card uses a single 16-pin power connector. Its triple-slot width and dimensions (304 mm length, 137 mm height, 61 mm width) mean physical clearance is a real consideration. Display outputs include 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, supporting multi-monitor setups. The card is end-of-life per production status, with a launch MSRP of 1,599 USD, and its successor is the GeForce 50 series while the predecessor is GeForce 30.

# Benchmark Performance

The CPU and GPU present a striking contrast in benchmark positioning. The Intel Core i7-13700TE sits at the 82nd percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 31,028. Its nearest rivals show remarkably tight clustering: the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (31,074, delta -0.1%), Intel Core i7-12700F (31,081, delta -0.2%), Intel Core 9 273PTE (31,143, delta -0.4%), and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS (30,879, delta +0.5%). All four rivals are within 0.5% of the i7-13700TE's score, making this a densely competitive segment where small workload differences determine actual ranking.

The GPU, by contrast, dominates its field at the 98th percentile with an average benchmark score of 178,050. Its nearest rivals are 2.2% to 4.9% faster, but these are professional-grade cards (RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell, A100 variants, RTX 5000 Ada Generation) rather than consumer gaming GPUs. The combined percentile for this pairing is 90, reflecting the GPU's exceptional strength pulling the overall build upward despite the CPU's mid-tier positioning.

CPU-specific benchmark results reveal workload-dependent behavior. In Cinebench, the i7-13700TE scores 1,884 in R15 multi-core and 265 in single-core, 7,853 in R20 multi-core and 1,108 in single-core, and 18,698 in R23 multi-core with 2,639 in single-core. PassMark results show multi-threaded performance at 22,754 and single-thread at 3,422. Data compression reaches 243,565, data encryption 15,006, extended instructions 13,750, and floating-point math 66,421. Integer math scores 97,911, find prime numbers 101, random string sorting 27,307, and physics 1,368.

The combined picture is one of imbalance: the RTX 4090 D is a top-2% GPU, while the i7-13700TE is a solidly mid-tier CPU at the 82nd percentile. This pairing means that in GPU-bound scenarios (high-resolution gaming, rendering, compute), the GPU will perform near its full potential, but in CPU-limited workloads (low-resolution gaming, physics simulation, certain productivity tasks), the processor becomes the constraining factor. The 90th combined percentile reflects this asymmetry — the build is better than its CPU alone would suggest but not as strong as its GPU alone would indicate.

# Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i7-13700TE uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform with Raptor Lake architecture (codename Raptor Lake-S). It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, offering flexibility in memory choice depending on motherboard and budget constraints. ECC memory is not supported, which limits its appeal for certain error-sensitive workstation tasks. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the processor, enabling high-bandwidth connectivity for next-generation SSDs and GPUs.

Memory cache is structured as 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 30 MB shared L3 cache. This L3 allocation is substantial for a 16-core part and helps mitigate the relatively low base clock of 1,100 MHz, though the boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz. The 35 W TDP is remarkably low for a 16-core processor, suggesting power-constrained operation that impacts sustained multi-core performance.

The RTX 4090 D uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which is backward-compatible with the CPU's PCIe Gen 5 capability, though the GPU will operate at PCIe 4.0 speeds. The GPU's suggested PSU is 800 W, while the CPU's TDP is 35 W — this massive disparity means the power supply is primarily dictated by the GPU. A sensible next upgrade would focus on the CPU, as the GPU is already at the 98th percentile and near end-of-life. Upgrading to a higher-tier Socket 1700 processor or moving to a newer platform would better balance the system, though the current CPU's 82nd percentile still provides adequate throughput for most gaming and productivity workloads.

The platform's memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 means users can retain existing DDR4 modules for cost savings or adopt DDR5 for higher bandwidth, though the CPU's dual-channel memory bus limits total memory bandwidth compared to HEDT platforms. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback display output if the discrete GPU is removed or fails.

# Gaming Performance

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination. The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps rows, so all frame rate figures here are estimates based on the benchmark scores. The RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile GPU ranking and 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 throughput indicate exceptional rasterization capability, while the CPU's 82nd percentile ranking suggests it can feed the GPU adequately in most scenarios but may bottleneck at lower resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU's single-thread score of 3,422 in PassMark becomes more relevant, as lower resolutions shift the bottleneck toward the processor. Given the i7-13700TE's 82nd percentile ranking and its nearest rivals being within 0.5%, expect frame rates that are competitive with systems using the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS or Intel Core i7-12700F, but not class-leading. The GPU's pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,149.1 GTexel/s suggest that at 1440p and 4K, the GPU will dominate performance scaling.

At 1440p, the RTX 4090 D's 24 GB VRAM and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for high-detail textures and ray tracing, with the GPU's 114 RT cores enabling real-time ray-traced effects. The CPU's 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes ensure data transfer is not a bottleneck, though the GPU's PCIe 4.0 interface caps at 4.0 speeds. Estimated frame rates at 1440p would be very high for esports titles and high for AAA games, though precise numbers cannot be provided without measured data.

At 4K, the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute throughput become the primary drivers. The 1.01 TB/s bandwidth supports 4K texture streaming, and the 176 ROPs handle pixel fill demands. The CPU's multi-thread score of 22,754 in PassMark suggests it can keep up with the GPU's demands in most titles, but highly CPU-intensive games may see reduced minimum frame rates. The combined percentile of 90 indicates that this build will deliver a strong 4K experience, though the CPU may cap performance in CPU-bound scenes.

# Who Should Build It

This pairing targets users who prioritize GPU-bound workloads over CPU-heavy tasks. Gamers at 1440p and 4K resolutions will benefit most, as the RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile performance shines when resolution and detail settings push the GPU to its limits. The 24 GB VRAM accommodates high-resolution texture packs and future game requirements, while the 114 RT cores enable ray-traced gaming without severe performance penalties.

Content creators working with video editing or 3D rendering will find the GPU's FP32 and FP16 throughput valuable for GPU-accelerated effects and rendering, though the CPU's 82nd percentile may slow CPU-side encoding tasks. The i7-13700TE's 16 cores and 24 threads provide adequate multi-threading for video preview and timeline scrubbing, but the 35 W TDP suggests sustained all-core workloads will be power-limited.

Software developers compiling code will appreciate the CPU's multi-thread score of 22,754 in PassMark, while the GPU's compute capabilities support CUDA-accelerated development and testing. Students and small business workstations can leverage the integrated UHD Graphics 770 as a fallback and the CPU's 35 W TDP for energy-efficient operation, but the GPU's 425 W TDP makes this an unusual choice for typical office systems — this build is for those who need top-tier graphics performance specifically.

The GPU is end-of-life, which may matter to buyers seeking longevity, but its 98th percentile standing means it remains competitive. The build's 90th combined percentile places it in the upper tier of desktop systems, suitable for enthusiasts and professionals who demand high-end graphics without needing the absolute fastest CPU available.

# Balance and Bottleneck

The data reveals a clear imbalance: the GPU at the 98th percentile vastly outstrips the CPU at the 82nd percentile. In GPU-bound workloads — high-resolution gaming with ray tracing, 3D rendering, machine learning inference — the RTX 4090 D will operate near its full capability, as the CPU can supply data fast enough through its 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes and dual-channel memory. The GPU's 1.01 TB/s bandwidth and 24 GB VRAM mean that large datasets and textures do not frequently require CPU intervention.

However, in CPU-bound scenarios, the bottleneck reverses. At 1080p gaming or in physics-heavy simulations, the i7-13700TE's 82nd percentile becomes the limiting factor. Its base clock of 1,100 MHz is notably low, and while the boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz, sustained multi-core workloads may be constrained by the 35 W TDP. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,698 is respectable but not exceptional for a 16-core part, indicating that power limits prevent the CPU from reaching its architectural potential.

The FPS scaling evidence, while estimated, supports this analysis: at higher resolutions, the GPU dominates and the CPU's relative weakness is masked; at lower resolutions, the CPU's single-thread performance (PassMark 3,422) becomes increasingly relevant. The nearest CPU rivals, all within 0.5% in average score, suggest that swapping the i7-13700TE for an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS or Intel Core i7-12700F would yield minimal performance changes — the delta is too small to meaningfully alter the bottleneck.

The practical implication is that this build is GPU-limited in most demanding graphics workloads, which is favorable for gaming and rendering. But for CPU-intensive tasks like software compilation, data compression (PassMark score 243,565), or physics calculations (PassMark score 1,368), the processor will hold back the system's overall throughput. Users should prioritize GPU-heavy applications or consider a CPU upgrade to better match the GPU's capabilities.

# Build Overview

This is a desktop-class build pairing the Intel Core i7-13700TE with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D. The combined percentile is 90, placing this system in the upper echelon of desktop configurations. The CPU is a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake processor with a 35 W TDP, while the GPU is an Ada Lovelace flagship with 24 GB GDDR6X and a 425 W TDP.

The overall tier is high-end, driven almost entirely by the GPU's 98th percentile ranking. The CPU's 82nd percentile is respectable but not top-tier, and the contrast between the two components defines the system's character. This is a GPU-first build where the graphics card is the centerpiece, and the CPU serves as a capable but not exceptional supporting component.

The class is desktop, confirming this is intended for stationary use with a triple-slot GPU that requires substantial case clearance and an 800 W PSU. The production status of the GPU is end-of-life, indicating it is at the end of its commercial lifecycle, while the CPU remains active. The build is best characterized as a graphics powerhouse with a mid-tier processor, suitable for users who spend most of their time in GPU-accelerated applications.

# CPU Analysis

The Intel Core i7-13700TE is a 16-core, 24-thread processor from the Core 13th Gen series, built on Raptor Lake architecture with a 10 nm process node from Intel. The die size is 257 mm², and it uses Intel Socket 1700. Base clock is 1,100 MHz with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, and the TDP is 35 W — a power-efficient configuration that trades sustained performance for lower energy consumption.

Cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 30 MB shared L3. This 30 MB L3 is generous and helps compensate for the low base clock in workloads with good locality. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, though ECC is not supported. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770, providing basic display output.

Benchmark scores paint a mixed picture. Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 18,698, which is strong for a 35 W part but below what higher-TDP 16-core CPUs achieve. Single-core R23 scores 2,639, indicating competent single-thread performance. PassMark multi-thread scores 22,754 and single-thread 3,422, with integer math at 97,911 and floating-point math at 66,421 — the integer-heavy workload performs better, suggesting the CPU is well-suited for general-purpose computing.

The 82nd percentile ranking places it among the majority of CPUs but not at the top. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.5% in average score, making the i7-13700TE interchangeable with several competing parts in real-world performance. The low TDP and power efficiency make it suitable for compact builds or systems where energy consumption is a priority, but the benchmark data shows it cannot match higher-power CPUs in sustained multi-core workloads. For real workloads, this means: solid performance for everyday tasks, adequate for content creation, but not a high-end productivity processor.

# Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming: At 1080p with a high-refresh monitor, the CPU's 82nd percentile may limit maximum frame rates in CPU-bound titles, though the GPU's 98th percentile ensures no graphics-side bottlenecks. Expect very high frame rates in esports games, but the CPU's low base clock could cause dips in scenes with many moving objects.

Streaming: The GPU's NVENC encoder (implied by the Ada Lovelace architecture) offloads encoding from the CPU, while the i7-13700TE's 16 cores handle game logic and stream overlays simultaneously. The 24 GB VRAM provides headroom for stream encoding buffers without impacting game performance.

Video editing: GPU-accelerated effects and rendering will benefit from the RTX 4090 D's 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, while the CPU's multi-thread score of 22,754 in PassMark handles timeline previews and export encoding. The 35 W TDP may slow CPU-based encoding, but GPU acceleration mitigates this.

3D rendering: The GPU's 114 RT cores and 456 tensor cores accelerate ray-traced rendering and denoising, with the 24 GB VRAM accommodating large scenes. The CPU's 18,698 Cinebench R23 multi-core score supports scene preparation and physics simulation, though it is not a top-tier render CPU.

Software development: Compilation tasks benefit from the CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads, with integer math at 97,911 in PassMark. The GPU's compute capabilities support CUDA development and testing, and the 20 PCIe Gen 5 lanes provide fast I/O for build servers.

Student and office work: The 35 W TDP makes this CPU energy-efficient for extended operation, and the integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides a fallback for basic tasks. The GPU is overkill for office workloads, but the CPU's 82nd percentile ensures smooth multitasking with office suites and web applications.
