The Intel Core i7-13790F paired with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is a balanced desktop combination that sits in the combined 88th percentile of all tracked systems — a high-end pairing without drifting into enthusiast excess. The CPU lands in the 93rd percentile of all processors with an average benchmark score of 63080, while the GPU occupies the 83rd percentile of all graphics cards at 43223. No measured frame-rate data exists for this exact combination in the database, so every FPS figure discussed below is an estimate derived from the benchmark scores, not a recorded measurement. What the data shows is a rig whose processor outranks its graphics card by roughly ten percentile points — a deliberate and sensible imbalance for a build aimed at high-refresh 1440p gaming and multi-threaded production work.

GPU Analysis

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on TSMC's 5 nm process and uses the AD104 die — 294 mm² of silicon packing 35,800 million transistors at a density of 121.8M per mm². That density is the foundation of the card's efficiency story: a 220 W TDP card delivering 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is a strong ratio, and FP16 runs at a 1:1 rate for another 35.48 TFLOPS when workloads support half precision. The GPU boosts to 2475 MHz from a 1980 MHz base, with 7168 shading units, 224 texture units, and 80 ROPs producing a texture fill rate of 554.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s.

The memory subsystem is where the card defines its tier. Twelve gigabytes of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus yields 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth — enough for the card's target resolutions, though the narrow bus is the clearest hardware signal that this is a 1440p-class part rather than a 4K flagship. Memory runs at 21 Gbps effective. For rendering, the capacity matters as much as the speed: 12 GB comfortably holds modern game asset sets at 1440p and handles mid-size 3D scenes, though massive production datasets will pressure it.

Ray tracing and AI hardware are the other half of the Ada Lovelace equation. The 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores carry the workload for DXR games and AI-accelerated features respectively, and the card reports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support alongside Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6 — the full modern API surface. In compute benchmarks, the Vulkan path scores 205624 in Geekbench versus 172795 in OpenCL, indicating drivers extract materially more performance from Vulkan; PassMark GPU compute lands at 17108. The PassMark G3D result of 29995 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 4627 place the card in the 83rd percentile overall. Its nearest rivals by average score are telling: the Quadro M6000 24 GB sits just 0.1 percent ahead, the GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is a further 0.1 percent ahead at 43268, the original Quadro M6000 trails by 0.2 percent, and even the RTX 4090 Mobile averages only 1 percent higher at 43667. A mobile 4090 beating a desktop 4070 SUPER by just one point on average underscores how tightly clustered performance is in this bracket and how strong the card's compute profile is for its power envelope.

Note the production status: the card is listed as end-of-life, succeeded by the GeForce 50 series, with a launch MSRP of 599 USD stated once for reference.

Usage Scenarios

High-refresh gaming. With a PassMark G3D score of 29995 and a Vulkan compute result of 205624, the card belongs firmly in the 1440p high-refresh class. Estimated frame rates at 1440p ultra settings in most AAA titles should sit comfortably in triple digits for well-optimized engines, with demanding ray-traced titles requiring upscaling to hold high refresh — that is inference from the scores, not measurement.

Streaming. The i7-13790F's 24 threads are the star here. A PassMark multithread score of 44737 and physics score of 3017 mean encoding, compositing, and game logic can share the chip without the severe contention a lower-thread-count CPU would suffer. NVENC-style offload is not specified in the data, but the GPU's tensor core count of 224 supports AI-enhanced encoding pipelines where applicable.

Video editing. The combination works: 12 GB of GDDR6X at 504.2 GB/s feeds timeline scrubbing, while the CPU's data-compression score of 567473 in PassMark reflects the throughput that codecs and cache operations demand. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 35404 confirms render-stage performance in the 93rd percentile.

3D rendering. Geekbench OpenCL at 172795 and Vulkan at 205624 show strong GPU renderer throughput, and the 56 RT cores accelerate path-tracing viewport work. CPU viewport work is covered by the R23 multi-core result and the 33 MB shared L3 cache.

Software development. Compilation is thread- and clock-hungry; a 5.20 GHz boost with 24 threads and an integer-math score of 151416 make this pairing excellent for large codebases, container workloads, and local test farms.

Student and office work. Frankly overkill — but the single-thread score of 4212 in PassMark and 4998 in Cinebench R23 mean snappy everyday responsiveness, and DDR4/DDR5 flexibility simplifies a build or upgrade.

CPU Analysis

The i7-13790F is a Raptor Lake-S part on Intel's 10 nm node, fabricated by Intel on a 257 mm² die. It carries 16 cores and 24 threads — the hybrid arrangement typical of the generation — with a 2.10 GHz base and a 5.20 GHz maximum boost. Cache is generous: 80 KB of L1 and 2 MB of L2 per core, plus 33 MB of shared L3. The chip is rated at 65 W TDP, and importantly for builders, the multiplier is locked, so tuning headroom is limited to stock behavior and memory tuning.

Benchmark results place it emphatically in the upper tier. Cinebench R15 returns 3568 multi-core and 503 single-core; R20 scales to 14869 and 2099; R23 reaches 35404 multi and 4998 single. Those single-core figures near 5000 in R23 are flagship-adjacent and translate directly into game and application responsiveness. The PassMark suite adds breadth: 44737 multithread, 4212 single-thread, 151416 integer math, 110512 floating point, 567473 data compression, 31703 encryption, 58607 string sorting, and 207 for prime finding.

Context comes from the rivals. The Core Ultra 7 265HX averages 63173 — a mere 0.1 percent above this chip's 63080. The Ryzen AI 7 450G is 0.4 percent behind at 63331 (a delta in the 13790F's favor), the Core Ultra 7 255HX trails by 0.5 percent at 62738, and the Ryzen AI Embedded P185 sits 0.4 percent behind at 62839. In short, the 13790F trades blows within a half-percent band against processors from newer generations, which is a strong showing and the basis of its 93rd-percentile ranking. The launch MSRP was $441. Memory support spans DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, and ECC is not supported.

Who Should Build It

The data points to three primary audiences. First, high-refresh 1440p gamers: the GPU's 83rd percentile standing, 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and compute scores place it exactly there, and the CPU will not be the constraint — its 93rd percentile is well above the GPU's. Second, content creators and 3D artists: the R23 multi-core score of 35404, Vulkan compute of 205624, and 12 GB of VRAM cover editing, GPU rendering, and mid-scale scene work; anyone with datasets far exceeding 12 GB should look higher. Third, developers and small-business workstation builders: the integer-math and multithread results plus 24 threads suit compilation, virtualization, and batch data processing — the 567473 compression score is directly relevant to backup and archival workloads. Students get a machine that outlasts a degree, though the pairing is more than coursework demands. The locked multiplier means overclocking enthusiasts should look elsewhere.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The platform is Intel Socket 1700 with dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 support — the DDR4 option preserves reuse of existing memory, while DDR5 is the forward-looking choice for a fresh build. The CPU provides PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU alone, which matters because the GPU itself connects over PCIe 4.0 x16; a Gen 5 slot is available for future storage or next-generation cards. The GPU is a dual-slot card, 267 mm long, 112 mm tall, and 42 mm wide, drawing power through a single 16-pin connector — case clearance and a compatible PSU cable or adapter are practical prerequisites.

Power headroom is the key planning number: the GPU carries a 220 W TDP with a suggested PSU of 550 W, and the CPU adds a 65 W TDP. Combined, the suggested 550 W figure already accounts for a system of this class, though the TDPs sum well below it, leaving room for drives, fans, and transient spikes. The sensible next upgrade is the GPU: since the CPU sits ten percentile points higher, a graphics upgrade — the card's successor line is the GeForce 50 series — converts directly into more frames without touching the platform. A CPU-side upgrade on Socket 1700 is possible but would chase a percentile ceiling only seven points higher, making the GPU the higher-leverage move.

Gaming Performance

To be clear: this database contains no measured FPS rows for this exact pairing, and `dataIsMeasured` is false. All frame-rate discussion below is estimation from the benchmark scores, not recorded testing.

The evidence base is the PassMark G3D score of 29995, the 3DMark Steel Nomad result of 4627, and the DirectX sub-scores — 344 for DX9, 273 for DX11, 167 for DX10, and 110 for DX12. From these, expectations are straightforward. At 1080p ultra, the card is heavily over-provisioned; estimated frame rates should push well past high-refresh territory in most titles, with the CPU's 5.20 GHz boost and 4998 R23 single-core score ensuring the processor keeps pace. At 1440p ultra — the card's native habitat given its 192-bit bus and 504.2 GB/s — estimates point to high-refresh performance in the majority of modern games, with ray-tracing-heavy titles leaning on the 56 RT cores and upscaling to stay there. At 4K ultra, the DX12 score of 110 and the card's 83rd-percentile standing suggest playable but not consistently high frame rates in demanding titles; 4K is viable with settings adjustments or upscaling rather than at native ultra. The Steel Nomad result of 4627 corroborates the mid-to-upper-tier positioning across these estimates.

Benchmark Performance

The complete picture, by the numbers. CPU: Cinebench R15 multi 3568 / single 503; R20 multi 14869 / single 2099; R23 multi 35404 / single 4998; PassMark multithread 44737, single-thread 4212, integer 151416, floating point 110512, compression 567473, encryption 31703, string sorting 58607, primes 207, physics 3017, extended instructions 34828. Average benchmark score: 63080, 93rd percentile versus all CPUs.

GPU: PassMark G3D 29995, GPU compute 17108, G2D 1184, DirectX 9/10/11/12 at 344/167/273/110; Geekbench OpenCL 172795, Vulkan 205624; 3DMark Steel Nomad 4627. Average score: 43223, 83rd percentile versus all GPUs.

The combined percentile is 88. Read together, the data describes a system whose CPU is effectively tied with Core Ultra 7 265HX-class silicon (a 0.1 percent gap) and whose GPU trades within one percent of an RTX 4090 Mobile's average. That is a genuinely high-end pairing with the balance tilted — correctly, for gaming — toward graphics headroom being the next thing to add.

FAQ

Q: What memory does the platform support?

A: Dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 on Intel Socket 1700, with PCIe Gen 5 and 20 CPU lanes.

Balance and Bottleneck

The bottleneck logic here is refreshingly simple: the GPU is the limiter in games, and only in games. The CPU's 93rd percentile against the GPU's 83rd is a ten-point spread, and the rival tables reinforce it — the processor matches current-generation Ultra 7 silicon within 0.1 percent while the graphics card trades with mobile and legacy-professional parts. At 1080p, the GPU is unquestionably the constraint; the CPU's 4998 R23 single-core and 5.20 GHz boost give it far more headroom than the card can consume at that resolution. At 1440p the pairing approaches equilibrium, which is precisely why that resolution is the sweet spot. At 4K, the GPU saturates entirely.

Outside gaming, the balance flips. The GPU becomes the ceiling for heavy 3D rendering and large-scale compute once scenes exceed 12 GB or the workload favors raw GPU throughput, while the CPU's 44737 multithread score and 24 threads leave it underutilized in many creative and development tasks. The practical conclusion: buy this pairing for 1440p high-refresh gaming with a production side-hustle, and if more performance is ever needed, upgrade the graphics card first — the percentile data says the processor has a longer useful life than the card it feeds.
