The Intel Core i7-13790F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D is a desktop configuration that places near the top of the benchmark database. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile among all processors, while the GPU reaches the 98th percentile among all graphics cards, and the combined system percentile is 96. This pairing represents a high-end build, though the specific combination of a power-efficient 16-core CPU with a flagship-tier GPU creates a distinctive profile that warrants close examination of the data.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process with 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2520 MHz. Memory consists of 24 GB of GDDR6X across a 384-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. The memory clock is listed at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed.

The hardware configuration is substantial: 14592 shading units, 456 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. For ray tracing, the card includes 114 RT cores, and for AI-accelerated workloads, it has 456 tensor cores. The pixel rate reaches 443.5 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 1,149.1 GTexel/s. Compute performance is rated at 73.54 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (1:1). The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and it uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface.

Benchmark results place the RTX 4090 D at the 98th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 178050. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, it scores 8587. Geekbench results show 278621 in OpenCL and 246941 in Vulkan. The nearest rivals are all professional or datacenter-class cards: the NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell scores 182109 (2.2% higher), the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB scores 183725 (3.1% higher), the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation scores 184664 (3.6% higher), and the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB scores 187147 (4.9% higher). This means the RTX 4090 D trails these specialized cards by small margins, but it outperforms the majority of consumer GPUs by a wide margin.

For rendering workloads, the 73.54 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power handles massive parallel calculations. The 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth is critical for large textures and complex scenes, and 24 GB of VRAM allows for high-resolution assets without swapping. The 114 RT cores accelerate ray-traced effects, while the 456 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for DLSS and other AI-based rendering features. The pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,149.1 GTexel/s indicate the card can fill frames quickly even at high resolutions.

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

The Intel Core i7-13790F achieves an average benchmark score of 63080, placing it at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs. In Cinebench tests, it scores 3568 in R15 multi-core, 503 in R15 single-core, 14869 in R20 multi-core, 2099 in R20 single-core, 35404 in R23 multi-core, and 4998 in R23 single-core. PassMark results include 44737 in multithread, 4212 in single-thread, 151416 in integer math, 110512 in floating-point math, 34828 in extended instructions, 31703 in data encryption, 567473 in data compression, 3017 in physics, 207 in find prime numbers, and 58607 in random string sorting.

The nearest CPU rivals are closely matched. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX has an average score of 63173, which is 0.1% higher than the i7-13790F. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G scores 63331, 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 scores 62839, 0.4% lower. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX scores 62738, 0.5% lower. This places the i7-13790F in a tight cluster where performance differences are within a fraction of a percent.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 178050 at the 98th percentile is dramatically higher than the CPU's 93rd percentile. The combined system percentile of 96 reflects this high overall capability. The GPU's nearest rivals are 2.2% to 4.9% higher in score, which is a modest gap for a consumer card against professional-level hardware.

The combined picture shows a system where the GPU is the dominant component in terms of benchmark score and percentile ranking. The CPU is strong, but it sits slightly below the GPU in relative standing. This suggests that in GPU-bound workloads—particularly gaming at high resolutions or rendering tasks that leverage the RTX 4090 D's compute power—the system's performance will be exceptional. In CPU-bound tasks such as physics calculations or single-threaded applications, the i7-13790F will perform well but will not match the GPU's elite status.

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

The data indicates an asymmetry: the GPU at the 98th percentile versus the CPU at the 93rd percentile. This 5-percentage-point gap suggests the CPU is more likely to become the limiting factor in scenarios where both components are heavily utilized. In gaming, the RTX 4090 D's raw power (73.54 TFLOPS, 1.01 TB/s bandwidth) can generate frames faster than the CPU can feed it in CPU-limited scenarios, particularly at lower resolutions where GPU load is lighter.

No measured FPS data exists for this exact CPU+GPU combination, so frame rates must be estimated from benchmark scores. The CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4998 and multi-core score of 35404 indicate strong per-thread and multi-thread performance. The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 8587 reflects high graphical capability. In typical gaming workloads, the CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads provide ample headroom for game logic and physics, while the GPU handles rendering. The bottleneck will shift depending on resolution: at lower resolutions, the CPU's single-core performance (4212 in PassMark single-thread) may limit FPS, while at higher resolutions, the GPU's fill rate (443.5 GPixel/s) becomes the primary constraint.

For productivity workloads, the balance is different. The CPU's PassMark multithread score of 44737 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 show strong multi-threaded capability, which suits video encoding and 3D rendering that can use all 24 threads. The GPU's FP32 and FP16 compute (73.54 TFLOPS) accelerates GPU-accelerated rendering, but the CPU must prepare scenes and manage data flow. In memory-intensive tasks, the CPU's dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 support and 33 MB shared L3 cache help, but the GPU's 1.01 TB/s bandwidth is vastly higher than what the CPU can access.

The bottleneck profile therefore depends on workload. For gaming at 1080p or 1440p with high frame rates, the CPU is the likely limiter. For 4K gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering, the GPU is the limiter, and the CPU has sufficient headroom. For general productivity and multi-threaded workloads, the CPU is adequate but not elite, meaning the system's overall performance is determined by the GPU's exceptional capabilities.

Who Should Build It — target users and industries tied strictly to the measured performance

This pairing suits users who need maximum GPU performance with a capable but not top-tier CPU. Gamers targeting 4K resolution with high refresh rates will benefit from the RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile ranking and its ability to drive high pixel rates (443.5 GPixel/s). The 24 GB VRAM also supports high-resolution textures and future game demands. Content creators working with GPU-accelerated rendering will find the 73.54 TFLOPS compute and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth valuable for tasks like 3D scene rendering and video effects. The 114 RT cores accelerate ray-traced workflows, and the 456 tensor cores enable AI-based upscaling and denoising.

Software developers building AI or machine learning applications can use the tensor cores for inference and training workloads. The 24 GB VRAM allows larger models to fit in memory. Students in computer science or engineering fields who work with CUDA-accelerated code will benefit from the GPU's compute capability. Small business workstations handling video production, architectural visualization, or scientific computing can leverage the GPU's performance, though the CPU should be adequate for typical multi-threaded tasks given its 93rd percentile ranking.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and the GPU's 425 W TDP together require a system with sufficient power delivery, but the CPU's efficiency means the overall system power draw is dominated by the GPU. Users who prioritize GPU performance over CPU performance—such as those who game at high resolutions or run GPU-bound compute—will find this pairing appropriate. Users who need maximum CPU performance for highly threaded workloads might consider a higher-tier CPU, but the i7-13790F's 16 cores and 24 threads handle most tasks well.

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

The Intel Core i7-13790F is a Raptor Lake-S desktop processor from the Core 13th Gen series, manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². It uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform. The CPU has 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The TDP is 65 W, which is notably low for a 16-core processor. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, and ECC memory is not supported. The PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The processor has no integrated graphics, which is indicated by the "F" suffix. It was released on 2023-02-09 with a launch MSRP of $441. The multiplier is locked, and the part number is SRMBZ.

Benchmark scores reveal the CPU's strengths. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance, placing it at the 93rd percentile. The single-core score of 4998 is also competitive. PassMark results show a multithread score of 44737 and a single-thread score of 4212. The integer math score of 151416 and floating-point math score of 110512 indicate solid computational throughput. Data compression scores 567473, and data encryption scores 31703. The physics score of 3017 is more modest, suggesting that physics simulations may not be the CPU's strongest area.

Real workload implications: the 16 cores and 24 threads handle multi-threaded tasks like video encoding, 3D rendering, and compilation efficiently. The 5.20 GHz boost clock provides strong single-thread performance for gaming and light-threaded applications. The 33 MB L3 cache helps with data reuse in complex workloads. The 65 W TDP means the CPU runs cool and power-efficient, which is beneficial for sustained loads. The lack of integrated graphics means a discrete GPU is mandatory, but this pairing already includes a powerful one.

The nearest rivals are all within 0.5% in average score, indicating that the i7-13790F is competitively positioned. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX and AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G are slightly ahead, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 and Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX are slightly behind. This suggests that in real-world tasks, the i7-13790F performs essentially on par with these alternatives.

Usage Scenarios — grounded in the scores

High-refresh gaming: The RTX 4090 D's 98th percentile ranking and 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate enable high frame rates at high resolutions. The CPU's single-core score of 4212 in PassMark supports game logic, though at 1080p the CPU may limit FPS. At 4K, the GPU's 1.01 TB/s bandwidth and 73.54 TFLOPS compute will be the primary driver. Estimated FPS will be very high, but no measured data exists for this exact pairing.

Streaming: The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads provide headroom for encoding while gaming. The passmark multithread score of 44737 indicates the CPU can handle simultaneous game and encode workloads. The GPU's NVENC (not specified in data, but implied by tensor cores and architecture) would offload encoding, though specific NVENC details are not in the pack. The overall system percentile of 96 suggests smooth streaming performance.

Video editing: The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35404 accelerates timeline rendering and export. The GPU's 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 compute accelerates effects and color grading. The 24 GB VRAM allows large project files and high-resolution previews. The dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 memory support provides adequate bandwidth for editing software.

3D rendering: The CPU's 16 cores handle scene preparation and simulation, while the GPU's 114 RT cores and 456 tensor cores accelerate ray-traced rendering and denoising. The FP32 compute of 73.54 TFLOPS is well-suited for render engines that use GPU acceleration. The 33 MB L3 cache helps with complex scene data.

Software development: The CPU's 16 cores and 24 threads speed up compilation of large codebases. The PassMark integer math score of 151416 indicates strong arithmetic throughput. The 5.20 GHz boost clock reduces build times for single-threaded parts of the toolchain. The GPU can accelerate testing and simulation tasks.

Student and office work: The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking ensures responsive performance for productivity applications. The 65 W TDP means low power consumption, beneficial for daily use. The GPU is overkill for office tasks but provides headroom for any demanding applications. The system's combined percentile of 96 indicates it can handle any student or office workload without issue.

Upgrade Path and Platform

The Intel Core i7-13790F uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, which supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. The CPU provides Gen 5 PCIe with 20 lanes. This means users can install PCIe 5.0 devices, though the GPU uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 offers flexibility in choosing memory technology.

The GPU's TDP is 425 W, and the suggested PSU is 800 W. The CPU's TDP is 65 W, so the total system power draw is dominated by the GPU. A power supply of 800 W or higher is recommended, and the GPU uses a single 16-pin power connector. The GPU is triple-slot in width, measuring 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 61 mm in width, so case compatibility requires adequate clearance.

A sensible next upgrade would be a newer CPU on a newer platform, but the Socket 1700 platform supports 13th Gen and likely 14th Gen processors (not specified in the pack, so this is speculative). The GPU is end-of-life with a successor in the GeForce 50 series, according to the production status and successor field. However, the RTX 4090 D remains a high-performance card at the 98th percentile. The CPU's 65 W TDP leaves thermal headroom, so upgrading to a higher-TDP CPU on the same socket could improve multi-threaded performance if needed.

The PCIe Gen 5 support from the CPU is ahead of the GPU's PCIe 4.0 interface, so the GPU is not bandwidth-limited. The dual-channel memory support means that upgrading to faster DDR5 memory could improve performance, though specific memory speeds are not in the pack. The 33 MB L3 cache is shared, and the 2 MB L2 per core is generous.
