# Hardware Analysis: Intel Core i7-13700TE + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2

This pairing combines a low-power 35 W Raptor Lake desktop processor with NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell 2.0 GPU, creating a desktop build where the CPU's energy-efficient design meets the GPU's massive compute throughput. The Intel Core i7-13700TE sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 5090 D V2 holds the 59th percentile among all GPUs based on available benchmark data, resulting in a combined percentile of 71. The GPU's launch MSRP is 2,299 USD. No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination—the FACT PACK contains no measuredFps data—so all frame rate discussion below is estimated from the benchmark scores.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process with 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, while memory runs at 1750 MHz with an effective data rate of 28 Gbps. The memory subsystem is substantial: 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 384-bit bus yields a bandwidth of 1.34 TB/s, which is critical for high-resolution texture streaming and large dataset workloads.

The shader configuration is equally imposing, with 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware includes 170 RT cores, while AI acceleration comes from 680 tensor cores. The pixel rate reaches 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate hits 1,636.8 GTexel/s. Compute throughput is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1 ratio), indicating that the GPU does not halve throughput for half-precision work. This makes the card particularly strong for mixed-precision rendering pipelines and machine learning inference.

In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark, the RTX 5090 D V2 scores 16,504 points. This places it at the 59th percentile among all GPUs, which is surprisingly modest given the hardware specifications. The nearest rivals are telling: the NVIDIA T400 scores 16,508 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 scores 16,415 (0.5% higher), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell scores 16,408 (0.6% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT scores 16,361 (0.9% higher). The data shows a cluster of GPUs within a 1% performance band, suggesting that the 3DMark Steel Nomad test may not fully exercise the RTX 5090 D V2's capabilities, or that the benchmark is constrained by other factors in this specific configuration.

For rendering workloads, the 24 GB VRAM capacity is the standout feature, enabling large scenes and multi-layer compositing without spillover. The 1.34 TB/s bandwidth supports high-resolution textures and frequent data transfers. The 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores indicate strong ray-traced rendering performance and AI-accelerated features like DLSS, though the benchmark data does not isolate these capabilities.

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

The CPU's 82nd percentile and GPU's 59th percentile create an interesting balance dynamic. The CPU is positioned higher in its respective distribution than the GPU, which suggests that for many workloads, the GPU may be the limiting factor. However, the CPU's low 35 W TDP and reduced clock speeds (base 1100 MHz, boost 4.8 GHz) indicate that sustained multi-threaded performance could be constrained by power and thermal limits.

The FPS scaling evidence is absent because no measured FPS data exists for this combination. The dataIsMeasured field is false, meaning all frame rate projections are estimates derived from benchmark scores. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 for the GPU, combined with the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,698, suggests that in GPU-bound scenarios like 4K gaming, the RTX 5090 D V2 would drive frame rates, while the CPU handles physics and game logic. In CPU-bound scenarios like 1080p high-refresh gaming, the i7-13700TE's single-thread score of 2,639 in Cinebench R23 could become the limiting factor.

The PassMark multi-thread score of 22,754 and single-thread score of 3,422 indicate a capable but not top-tier CPU. The balanced percentile positions suggest that neither component completely dominates the other, but the GPU's lower percentile relative to its hardware specifications hints that the CPU may be holding back the GPU in certain benchmark conditions. The 35 W TDP is a significant constraint; a conventional desktop CPU with this core count typically draws much more power.

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

The Intel Core i7-13700TE is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake-S), manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². The base clock is a low 1100 MHz, but the boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory not supported. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU.

The 35 W TDP is the defining characteristic of this processor, classifying it as a low-power desktop chip. This is reflected in the benchmark scores. In Cinebench R15, the CPU scores 1,884 multi-core and 265 single-core. Cinebench R20 shows 7,853 multi-core and 1,108 single-core. Cinebench R23 results are 18,698 multi-core and 2,639 single-core. These scores indicate a processor that can handle demanding multi-threaded workloads when given time, but the single-core performance is more modest.

PassMark results paint a fuller picture. Data compression scores 243,565, data encryption 15,006, extended instructions 13,750, and finding prime numbers 101. Floating-point math scores 66,421, integer math 97,911, multithread 22,754, physics 1,368, random string sorting 27,307, and single-thread 3,422. The average benchmark score is 31,028, placing the CPU at the 82nd percentile.

The nearest rivals show tight competition. The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS scores 31,074 (-0.1% delta), the Intel Core i7-12700F scores 31,081 (-0.2%), the Intel Core 9 273PTE scores 31,143 (-0.4%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS scores 30,879 (+0.5%). The i7-13700TE effectively trades blows with these processors, despite its much lower TDP, which speaks to the efficiency of the Raptor Lake architecture at reduced power levels.

For real workloads, the 24 threads provide strong throughput for video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation. The low base clock means burst performance is limited, but the 4.8 GHz boost allows for responsive single-threaded tasks when needed. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 provides basic display output without a discrete GPU.

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

The platform is based on Intel Socket 1700, which supports the Core 13th Gen series. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving builders flexibility in choosing between older, more affordable DDR4 or newer DDR5 for higher bandwidth. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 20 CPU lanes provides ample bandwidth for the RTX 5090 D V2's PCIe 5.0 x16 connection.

Power requirements are a study in contrast. The CPU has a 35 W TDP, while the GPU has a 575 W TDP. The suggested PSU for the GPU alone is 950 W, which provides substantial headroom for the entire system. The GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector, which is the modern standard for high-end cards. The dual-slot design with dimensions of 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width requires a case with sufficient clearance.

A sensible next upgrade would focus on the CPU side, since the GPU is already at the top of its class. Moving to a higher-TDP 13th Gen or 14th Gen processor on the same socket could unlock more CPU-bound performance, particularly in scenarios where the current 35 W TDP limits sustained boost clocks. However, the data shows that the i7-13700TE already performs within 0.5% of several rival processors, so the gains might be modest. Alternatively, adding more DDR5 memory or upgrading to a faster kit could improve memory-bound workloads, though the dual-channel configuration is already standard.

The PCIe Gen 5 support ensures that the RTX 5090 D V2 operates at full bandwidth, and no upgrade is needed on that front. The 950 W PSU recommendation leaves room for additional peripherals and future component upgrades without requiring a power supply change.

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

The CPU's benchmark suite shows a processor that performs well in multi-threaded tasks but is not exceptional in single-threaded work. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,698 and single-core score of 2,639 represent a 7.1:1 ratio, indicating strong scaling across cores. The PassMark multithread score of 22,754 and single-thread score of 3,422 show similar characteristics.

The GPU's single benchmark result is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 16,504. This places the RTX 5090 D V2 at the 59th percentile, which is lower than expected for a flagship GPU. The nearest rivals all score within 0.9% of this result, creating a tight cluster that suggests the benchmark may not differentiate well among high-end GPUs, or that the CPU is limiting the GPU's performance in this test.

The combined percentile of 71 reflects the average position of both components. The CPU's 82nd percentile and GPU's 59th percentile indicate that the CPU is the stronger component relative to its peers, but the GPU's absolute performance is still substantial. The average benchmark score for the CPU is 31,028, while the GPU's average benchmark score is 16,504.

The overall picture is a system where the GPU provides massive compute and rendering capabilities, but the CPU's low-power design may prevent the system from reaching its full potential in CPU-limited scenarios. The data suggests that this build is optimized for GPU-intensive workloads like 4K gaming and 3D rendering, rather than CPU-bound tasks like competitive esports at high frame rates.

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)

No measured FPS rows exist for this exact combination, and the dataIsMeasured field is false. Therefore, all gaming performance figures below are estimates based on the benchmark scores, not direct measurements.

The RTX 5090 D V2's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 and the i7-13700TE's Cinebench R23 scores of 18,698 multi-core and 2,639 single-core provide the basis for these estimates. At 4K resolution, the GPU's 24 GB VRAM and 1.34 TB/s bandwidth would likely keep frame rates high even with ultra settings, as the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. The CPU's 24 threads would handle game logic and physics without issue at this resolution.

At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the CPU. The single-thread score of 2,639 in Cinebench R23 suggests adequate but not exceptional performance for high-refresh gaming. Frame rates would likely remain high, but the CPU could become a limiting factor in games with heavy AI or physics simulation.

At 1080p with high refresh rates, the CPU's low base clock of 1100 MHz and modest single-thread performance would likely cap frame rates below what the GPU could theoretically deliver. The 35 W TDP may also cause the CPU to reduce boost clocks under sustained load, further limiting CPU-bound performance. These are estimates, and actual performance would depend on specific game optimizations and system cooling.

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

The measured performance data suggests this build targets users who prioritize GPU compute over CPU throughput. Gamers at 4K resolution would benefit from the RTX 5090 D V2's 24 GB VRAM and high bandwidth, which are suited for demanding titles with high-resolution textures. The GPU's 59th percentile and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 16,504 indicate it can handle heavy graphics workloads, though the CPU's 82nd percentile means it is relatively stronger in its class.

Content creators working with large video files or 3D scenes would appreciate the 24 GB VRAM for caching and the 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute for rendering. The CPU's 24 threads and 30 MB L3 cache support multi-tasking and parallel workloads, as shown by the PassMark multithread score of 22,754. Video editors using GPU-accelerated effects would see strong performance, while the CPU handles encoding tasks.

Software developers compiling large codebases would benefit from the CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads, evidenced by the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,698. The low 35 W TDP makes this suitable for workstation environments where power efficiency is a concern. Students and small business workstations would find the integrated UHD Graphics 770 useful for basic display tasks, but the discrete GPU is overkill for office workloads.

The build is less suited for competitive gamers at 1080p who need maximum frame rates, given the CPU's modest single-thread performance of 2,639 in Cinebench R23 and 3,422 in PassMark single-thread.

Build Overview — what this CPU+GPU pairing is, its class (desktop/laptop from buildClass), and overall tier from the percentiles

This is a desktop build with a combined percentile of 71, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all systems. The pairing consists of the Intel Core i7-13700TE, a 16-core, 24-thread Raptor Lake processor with a 35 W TDP and boost clock of 4.8 GHz, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, a Blackwell 2.0 GPU with 24 GB GDDR7 memory and 170 RT cores.

The CPU's 82nd percentile and GPU's 59th percentile create a system that is well above average overall, but the GPU's lower relative position means it is not performing at the level its specifications would suggest. The build class is desktop, confirming that this is a stationary system with room for the GPU's 304 mm length and dual-slot design. The 950 W suggested PSU indicates a high-power system, despite the CPU's efficiency.

This combination is best described as a GPU-centric desktop workstation or high-end gaming system, where the CPU provides sufficient multi-threaded performance for content creation and the GPU delivers massive compute for rendering. The overall tier is solidly mid-to-high range, with the CPU as the more exceptional component relative to its market segment.
